Or a counterfeit prince - a low-born enemy to Henry Tudor and his York princess wife? When Henry Tudor picked up the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth Field he knew he would have to marry the princess of the rival house - Elizabeth of York - in an effort to unify a country divided by war for nearly two decades. But his bride was still in love with his enemy - and her mother and half of England still dreamed of a missing heir and a triumphant return for the House of York.  The new Queen Elizabeth has to decide if she can stand by a king whose support and courage are crumbling before her eyes.She has to choose between Tudor and York,between her new husband and the boy who claims to be her beloved lost brother: the rose of York come home at last.  Please contact seller,because of the weight and the value of this item for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas customers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!  ** N.B.
