Buy the book from:
Catherine of Valois arrives in England as Henry V’s French queen and gives birth to the future Henry VI, but her husband’s early death leaves her politically vulnerable. Mette, still serving as her companion, watches Humphrey of Gloucester and other magnates struggle for control of the infant king and the widowed queen’s household.
Away from court, Catherine forms a relationship with the Welsh courtier Owen Tudor. Their union threatens the rules imposed on a royal widow and creates the family from which Henry VII will descend. The novel continues the story begun in The Agincourt Bride, balancing the fictional narrator’s loyalties with documented dynastic conflict and Catherine’s concealed second marriage.
