Excerpt from Owen Tudor: An Historical Romance But, though vanquished in the field, and curbed on every side by the stron firrisons introduced b the English into the very heart of eir fastnesses, the elsh were far from fishing implicit submission to their conquerors. Still, the wise moderation of the government introduced by Henry V. Among his Welsh con nests, the efforts which he made to in gratiate himself with e co le, - above all, the blaze of mili tary glory which'surroun ed is name, always a dazzling lure to nations of Celtic blood, - produced in progress of time a remarkable effect onehe upper classes of the people and no bility, if not on the great mass of the population of Wales. This was sfieciallz the case in the countries more immediately under the uglis sway, or bordering on the English counties. The remote and mountainous districts were, of course, the latest in suffering this new light to stream in upon them; but even Snowdon itself could not always interpose its mighty shadow between the islanders of An lesea and the progress of the neighbouring civilization. Most alone among his equals and former companions in arms, the Lord of Pen myn dd continued to defy the conquerors, and, like a dark cloud in a brightening sky, suffered no shred of his gloom to mingle or dissipate in the new radiance.

1415: The jewel in the French crown, Katherine de Valois, is waiting under lock and key for King Henry V. While he's been slaughtering her kinsmen in Agincourt, Katherine has been praying for marriage to save her from her misery. But the brutal King is one of war. It is her crown he wants not her innocent love. For Katherine, a pawn in a ruthless political game, England is a lion's den of greed, avarice and mistrust. And when the magnificent King leaves her widowed at twenty–one she is a prize ripe for the taking. Her heart is on her sleeve, her young son the future monarch, and her hand in marriage worth a kingdom. This is a deadly game; one the Dowager Queen must learn fast. The players – Duke of Gloucester, Edmund Beaufort and Owen Tudor – are circling. Who will have her? Who will stop her? Who will ruin her?

Book Description
The Tudors are England’s most notorious royal family. But, as Leanda de Lisle’s gripping new history reveals, they are a family still more extraordinary than the one we thought we knew. The Tudor canon typically starts with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, before speeding on to Henry VIII and the Reformation. But this leaves out the family’s obscure Welsh origins, the ordinary man known as Owen Tudor who would fall (literally) into a Queen’s lap—and later her bed. It passes by the courage of Margaret Beaufort, the pregnant thirteen-year-old girl who would help found the Tudor dynasty, and the childhood and painful exile of her son, the future Henry VII. It ignores the fact that the Tudors were shaped by their past—those parts they wished to remember and those they wished to forget. By creating a full family portrait set against the background of this past, de Lisle enables us to see the Tudor dynasty in its own terms, and presents new perspectives and revelations on key figures and events. De Lisle discovers a family dominated by remarkable women doing everything possible to secure its future; shows why the princes in the Tower had to vanish; and reexamines the bloodiness of Mary’s reign, Elizabeth’s fraught relationships with her cousins, and the true significance of previously overlooked figures. Throughout the Tudor story, Leanda de Lisle emphasizes the supreme importance of achieving peace and stability in a violent and uncertain world, and of protecting and securing the bloodline. Tudor is bristling with religious and political intrigue but at heart is a thrilling story of one family’s determined and flamboyant ambition.
