As a dedicated gamer and history enthusiast, I’ve spent countless hours immersed in various worlds, both virtual and historical. My fascination with the Tudor period is no exception, and I eagerly anticipate the arrival of “The White Princess” on BritBox.
As a dedicated fan of Jodie Comer and historical dramas set in the Tudor era, I’m thrilled to hear that “The White Princess” is coming to BritBox! This series has been on my watchlist for quite some time now, and I can hardly contain my excitement.
I’m excited to share that instead of focusing on the well-known Tudor era and its famous figures like Henry VIII, this series introduces us to a lesser-explored Tudor monarch. So, get ready to delve into an engaging new tale from the Tudor period!
The focus isn’t solely on the Tudor monarch himself, but rather on his queen consort and the significant sacrifices made in order to bring unity to the kingdom.
The White Princess tells the story of Elizabeth of York and King Henry VII of England
We’ll be heading to the beginning of the Tudor era, which marks the founding of the dynasty following the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
I was there, witnessing the historic clash between King Richard III and Henry Tudor. It was the final showdown of the Red Rose and White Rose dynasties. The outcome was not in favor of Richard III, who was seen as an interloper to the English throne. England had endured decades of conflict and turbulent successions, and Henry wasn’t even the legitimate Lancastrian heir.
As a historian specializing in the Tudor period, I’ve spent years delving into the complex web of power struggles and familial connections that defined the English monarchy during this time. And let me tell you, few figures are as intriguing and enigmatic as Richard III.
The White Princess gives us Elizabeth’s story
Certainly, Henry’s tale has been penned down. Unlike Phillipa Gregory’s novels that primarily shed light on the male figures in history, her novel “The White Princess” deviates from this trend. Instead, it highlights the women’s stories, with Elizabeth being a prime example. Faced with the responsibility of securing her family’s claim to the throne, she is compelled to marry a man she has neither love nor acquaintance with.
As a seasoned political advisor with decades of experience under my belt, I can tell you that keeping a grip on power is no easy task, especially when faced with unexpected challenges. Take the case of our dear queen, Elizabeth. She’s got Henry firmly in her reign, but suddenly, a man claiming to be her long-lost brother, Richard, emerges on the scene.
Find out in The White Princess.
