The second book in Philippa's stunning new trilogy, The Cousins' War, brings to life the story of Margaret Beaufort, a shadowy and mysterious character in the first book of the series - The White Queen - but who now takes centre stage in the bitter struggle of The War of the Roses.The Red Queen tells the story of the child-bride of Edmund Tudor, who, although widowed in her early teens, uses her determination of character and wily plotting to infiltrate the house of York under the guise of loyal friend and servant, undermine the support for Richard III and ultimately ensure that her only son, Henry Tudor, triumphs as King of England.
Through collaboration with the dowager Queen Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret agrees to a betrothal between Henry and Elizabeth's daughter, thereby uniting the families and resolving the Cousins War once and for all by founding of the Tudor dynasty.

Read a while ago, and I loved it at the time, but if I read it again I'd probably not like it as much. I don't remember much of the story, besides the fact that Margaret was quite bitchy, but I kind of enjoyed that because my middle-school self couldn't quite grasp that cruelty does not equal amusing. So if you're reading my review and thinking "Wtf is wrong with her, this book is freaking horrible!", then keep in mind that my rating is probably quite off if I were to read this again.
2.5 starsMargaret Beaufort wants to devote her life to church but is instead maried off to Edmund Tudor when she is 12. He dies soon after that but manages to get her pregnant before that. After her son Henry is born, Margaret devotes her life to get him on the throne.I dont think Ive ever hated any character so much as I hated Margaret! By page 60 I just wanted to stab her. She think she is Englands Joan of Arc ans is here to deliver England from the Yorkist. I got it, shes pious person and
When I read the reviews and everyone hated this book, I had to read it. As it turns out, everyone hates the heroine, but I didn't. I felt sorry for her, and I had to laugh at her self-absorption and self-vindication, but this is a girl raised to believe that blood lines matter, and that her only possible contribution is as a brood mare. She is married twice with no say in the matter; her last marriage she negotiates for herself.I appreciate this book. I appreciate the hard work and research
Rating: 4.5/5.0I am so glad that I am reading the books in their order. It gives me a better understanding of the story. Basically, we follow the same events that took place in the second book (The White Queen) but in this book we look at the events from a different perspective. From God's perspective and his will! Lol, of course not, God has nothing to do here but our heroine, Margaret Beaufort thinks that all her desires, wishes, and ambitions are god's well. How convenient it is to use God's
WOW. This one I really could not put down--primarily because Margaret Beaufort is one of the most appalling characters I have ever met. When we read THE WHITE QUEEN, she was just in the background--but here she is front and center, and she is a horrible combination of religious zealot and jealousy. Next to her, Elizabeth Woodville seems like a true queen.In her defense, Margaret is given in marriage to Edmund Tudor at the young age of 12; he simply wants a son and treats her brutally. Edmund's
