Elizabeth of York marries Henry VII after the Battle of Bosworth, joining the defeated Yorkist house to the new Tudor dynasty. Affection and mistrust develop together as Henry seeks to secure a crown won in battle and Elizabeth remains tied to her mother’s family.

A claimant known as Perkin Warbeck appears abroad and declares himself Elizabeth’s missing brother Richard. His campaigns force the queen to choose between her husband, her children and the possibility that a Yorkist heir survived the Tower.
