First edition, first printing with full number line. No previous ownership marks. The story of one woman’s success in the tumultuous social and political reality of early Tudor England. Widowed at 16 and losing three of her first child’s godparents to the headsman’s axe, she persevered to outlive four monarchs, build the great home of Chatsworth and die one the wealthiest and most powerful women in English history.
