#OTD1485 at #Bosworth, the death of #RichardIII and the birth of the #Tudor dynasty. For #Cecily, matriarch of York, it was the final defeat. A defeat masterminded by #HenryTudor's mother #MargaretBeaufort. Henry defeated Richard. Margaret brought down the House of York. Oh, these fierce women!

Fascinating Kenilworth Books talk tonight with @anniegarthwaite.bsky.social & Elizabeth Fremantle. Great discussion about ‘dangerous women’ in history and why it’s so important their stories are told.

A great conversation with Carol Ann. Listen in as we chat about powerful women in the 15th century. @vikingbooksuk.bsky.social

Carol Ann Lloyd @shakeuphistory.bsky.social · Jul 16

I’m thrilled to share my conversation with Annie Garthwaite, author of wonderful books about Cecily Neville and the women around her
The women of the Wars of the Roses come into focus in Annie’s novels, and we see how they shaped the history

Cecily by @anniegarthwaite.bsky.social
Wars of the Roses as a lethal game of chess, played by fierce Cecily, wife/advisor to Duke of York, who builds alliances, wrong-foots enemies, uses daughters as pawns, trains sons as knights & future kings amid 15thC cold, mud & gore.

Thrilled to partner with Elizabeth Fremantle to talk about Dangerous Women - those who did far more than expected, over-stepped the rules or threatened the power of men. My favourite subject! Join us in Kenilworth. Details at tinyurl.com/ydtey9mj
