Summary:

Five looks at Elizabeth of York.



What is this?. I don't recall ever giving much thought ot Elizabeth of York in history lessons. My history teacher was a great Ricardian (though not so great that she didn't think the Richard III society was a little wierd) and I think she thought Perkin Warbeck really was the Duke of York. At any rate the focus of our lessons was on the political games and Elizabeth featured only as a pawn in those. This story fleshes her out, and quietly looks at the games she may have played herself, and her own acceptance and control of her fate.

As a warning, something odd seems to have happened to the paragraphs when posting. It's all perfectly legible, but does look a little off-puttingly wall-of-text at first glance.
