love to death

When Henry Tudor lifts the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth Field, he knows that he must marry the princess of the enemy house, Elizabeth of York, to unite a country divided by war for more than three decades. But his girlfriend is still in love with his dead enemy, and his mother and half of England are still loyal to his brother, the missing heir of York.

Henry’s greatest fear is that there is a prince waiting somewhere to take back the throne. When a young aspiring king invades England, Elizabeth must choose between the new husband she will love and the boy who claims to be her long-lost brother: the Rose of York is finally coming home.

The White Princess – Philippa Gregory

There are many periods in English history to be proud of. This isn’t usually one that comes to mind right away. We were taught in the school that “and the victor of Bosworth, Henry Tudor, married the Elizabeth of York, and thus united the red and the white rose, the houses of York and the Lancaster, and then followed the great and good Tudor dynasty, and there was peace.’ Of course, everyone knows that the Tudors and their times were really tyrannical and bloodthirsty.

Henry VII appears in this novel not only as a hypocritical weevil, but also as a spy general, a coward in battle, a twisted mummy boy and greedy, the unloved and unpleasant son of Lancaster and Tudor. There must have been a time when he was a normal, happy young man, but the poor boy didn’t stand much of a chance given his mother’s ambitions. Of course, Tudor is not yet a Great House, and it has been his turn to do so. So there is no pressure.

Knowing that the period was one of propaganda, deception, and tyrannical megalomania did not prepare me for the dripping pettiness so well portrayed here by Gregory. I have no doubt that the landscape of the past it creates is far from accurate, the atmosphere of fear, intrigue, violence. I liked the bravery of its assumptions. Less Disney, more Twilight Zone or even The Whisperers from Figes. The OGPU could have learned something! of Henry VII! Character-wise, I found Elizabeth Plantagenet (the first-person protagonist from whose perspective the narrative is given) bland and her motivation mostly hers to continue with her body parts still attached.

It’s hard to tell if I sympathized with her or not, her pity and her tenderness for the horrible Henry that she showed from time to time made me cringe, but I guess her character was solid enough to imagine her saying something about her. . She must have realized that if she had rebelled, there was plenty of support (as implied in the narration) to protect her. I can’t imagine why she didn’t poison him and/or her mother’s Harridan.

Not that she’s ever felt secure enough in her position (at least according to this interpretation of the facts) not to take chances and protect people from all walks of life from the fiscal and bloody reign of terror of the weak. , vengeful and the cowardly Henry Tudor and his terrible mother. So maybe the whole history of a country would have been so different. What if, what if, what if…?

So obviously the book was a good read to elicit such a reaction from that reader. I don’t know if there is any historical evidence of the love affair between Richard III. and his niece Elizabeth Plantagenet.

I have no doubt that there could be a political way out of such an alliance, which the rapidly failing Anne Neville understood and encouraged to protect Richard and the crown from him. Richard obviously inspired love and loyalty, it is well documented, so not beyond the bounds of belief, that his beleaguered young niece was in love with him or even loved him romantically and sexually. Although I liked that attitude.

As with previous novels and reviews, there were times when the use of modern idioms and slang terms stung a bit. Of course, one wouldn’t expect the novel to be written in High Medieval English or courtly Medieval Latin or French, but “I Lied To Her Face” placed the narrator more in the Facebook status realm of a pudgy teenager than an aristocratic woman. well-educated 15th century (not to mention a queen).

It is an ambivalent criticism, but when I try to understand from the first person point of view the actions, the reactions, the way people lived and what they considered normal in historical periods, I do not think it makes sense to use modern idioms. I can see that it may work in certain circumstances, but not in these novels, since otherwise Gregory is a respected historian and thus even her novels are given more credence than an anachronistic fantasy romance. .
