https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...storical-novel But I admit I didn't look into it! It was originally published in the late 18th century, so the language probably wouldn't have been the same as what appeared in the lengthy Tey quotes. |

Given what you posted from Weir, confirming it wasn't just imaginings, I'm happy for this part to come out of spoilers. In particular I am fascinated by what Weir says about this relationship seeming to confirm that precontract evidence was a fiction. This family was a fickle bunch. |

I think the Woodvilles weren't fickle as much as they were single-minded. They wanted the crown, and did whatever they had to do to get it, regardless of the cost. The princes were so much collateral damage. |

Hilary Mantel’s “Wolf Hall” is often criticised in academic circles for the same reason. It’s a fictionalised account of the life of Thomas Cromwell, but the reading public takes it to be “history”, which it isn’t.

Goodreads has reminded me that many years ago I read a fiction book which told the story from the Woodville family's perspective. It was written in a format that alternates between present and past (Una is the modern made-up character). I don't remember much about this book and apparently I gave it two stars, but here's the info anyway.

I have an Audible version of The White Queen, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Must move it up the queue.

Elizabeth Woodville is in today's news. A recently unearthed letter suggests she died of the plague.
