#OTD1485 at #Bosworth, the death of #RichardIII and the birth of the #Tudor dynasty. For #Cecily, matriarch of York, it was the final defeat. A defeat masterminded by #HenryTudor's mother #MargaretBeaufort. Henry defeated Richard. Margaret brought down the House of York. Oh, these fierce women!

A great conversation with Carol Ann. Listen in as we chat about powerful women in the 15th century. @vikingbooksuk.bsky.social
I’m thrilled to share my conversation with Annie Garthwaite, author of wonderful books about Cecily Neville and the women around her
The women of the Wars of the Roses come into focus in Annie’s novels, and we see how they shaped the history

Wars of the Roses as a lethal game of chess, played by fierce Cecily, wife/advisor to Duke of York, who builds alliances, wrong-foots enemies, uses daughters as pawns, trains sons as knights & future kings amid 15thC cold, mud & gore.
