Alison Weir for Queens at War
We are delighted to welcome back to Bath Alison Weir for her latest history book, _Queens at War_. TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY, LOVE AND LOSS, MURDER AND MALICE IN THE LIVES OF FIVE FIFTEENTH-CENTURY QUEENS The fifteenth century was a turbulent age: the Hundred Years War between England and France, and the Wars of the Roses dominated the lives of people both inside and out of the royal courts. Joan of Navarre, Katherine of Valois, Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Wydeville and Anne Neville were the queens who stood by England's sovereigns, caught up in wars that changed the course of their lives, and the course of history. They were also formidable women who defied the limitations of their times, often living out the brutal consequences of their determination. Alison Weir uncovers their stories in this final volume of her ground-breaking series on the queens of medieval England. _Queens at War_ is a stunning culmination of research by a historian at the full extent of her powers and gripping account of five women on the throne. ALISON WEIR is one of Britain's top-selling historians. She is the author of numerous works of history and historical fiction, specialising in the medieval and Tudor periods. Her bestselling history books include _The Six Wives of Henry VIII_, _Eleanor of Aquitaine_, _Elizabeth of York_ and _The Lost Tudor Princess_. Her novels include _Innocent Traitor_, _Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen_ and _Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession_. She is an Honorary Life Patron of Historic Royal Palaces and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
