"(E)xamines whether (Elizabeth Woodville) was the malign influence many of her critics held her to be and why Richard Duke of Gloucester (Ri. chard III) mounted a campaign of vilification against her. (Baldwin) traces Elizabeth's career and her influence on the major events of her husband Edward's reign, and in doing so, he brings to life the personal and domestic politics of Yorkist En. g land and the elaborate ritual of court life. The contradictory stories of her secret marriage to Edward IV are explored as well as her motives for the union. Was she a sorceress who betwitched the young king? Or was she a beautiful and virtuous . yo ung woman who spurned his lascivious advances even when threatened at knifepoint? Hers was certainly a dramatic life with dizzying reversals of fortune; from poverty in 1461 to queenship in 1464, followed by deposition, restoration, and conflicts. wi th Richard III and Henry VII before spending her final years in religious seclusion. There is also the issue of her two sons, the infamous 'Princes in the Tower', and the controversy surrounding their disappearance. (Her) role in the conflicts. and dynastic struggles of the Wars of the Roses makes her a figure of importance and an assessment of her true place in these struggles is well overdue."
