Alison Weir – The Lost Tudor Princess (A Life of Margaret Douglas, Countess
of Lennox)
From bestselling author and acclaimed historian Alison Weir comes the
first biography of Margaret Douglas, the beautiful, cunning niece of
Henry VIII of England who used her sharp intelligence and covert power
to influence the succession after the death of Elizabeth I.
Royal Tudor blood ran in her veins. Her mother was a queen, her father
an earl, and she herself was the granddaughter, niece, cousin, and grandmother
of monarchs. Lady Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox, was an important
figure in Tudor England, yet today, while her contemporaries – Anne
Boleyn, Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth I – have achieved celebrity
status, she is largely forgotten.
Margaret’s life was steeped in intrigue, drama, and tragedy – from her
auspicious birth in 1530 to her parents’ bitter divorce, from her ill-fated
love affairs to her appointment as lady-in-waiting for four of Henry’s
six wives. In an age when women were expected to stay out of the political
arena, alluring and tempestuous Margaret helped orchestrate one of the
most notorious marriages of the sixteenth century: that of her son Lord
Darnley to Mary, Queen of Scots. Margaret defiantly warred with two
queens – Mary, and Elizabeth of England – and was instrumental in securing
the Stuart ascension to the throne of England for her grandson, James
VI.
The life of Margaret Douglas spans five reigns and provides many missing
links between the Tudor and Stuart dynasties. Drawing on decades of
research and myriad original sources – including many of Margaret’s
surviving letters – Alison Weir brings this captivating character out
of the shadows and presents a strong, capable woman who operated effectively
and fearlessly at the very highest levels of power.
