Margaret Beaufort believes that her only son, Henry Tudor, has a providential claim to the English crown. Widowed young and separated from Henry, she survives changing Yorkist governments while building alliances through marriage, patronage and covert communication.

Richard III’s accession gives Margaret an opening to coordinate rebellion with Elizabeth Woodville. Her political planning leads toward Bosworth, Henry’s victory and the establishment of the Tudor dynasty.
