The King's Curse (collector's Edition)
About This Novel
Power and love are always difficult to have at the same time, but truth and death go hand in hand - in the spring of 1502, Arthur Tudor, who was only sixteen years old, died unexpectedly. The young crown prince who had the same name as the ancient British king passed away before he could realize his ideals of governing the country. The king and his wife lost their beloved son, and his young widow Catherine had to wait for the king's brother to come of age to remarry him... In the autumn of 1514, a newborn baby stopped breathing in his infancy. Queen Catherine suffered the loss of another son, and the Tudor dynasty still had not yet welcomed the expected heir. Only the last of the Plantagenets, Margaret Pole, might know why. That was a curse, derived from the power of the water goddess Melusina-those who murder the princes in the tower will also be cut off from their own escape. The book "The King's Curse" tells the story of the troubled life of Margaret Pole, a descendant of Plantagenet. Her noble birth was the reason why she was deposed by the Tudor family. She fell into abject poverty and lived in hardship for a time. After Henry VIII succeeded to the throne, she regained the favor of the royal family and her status rose. She was even later named Countess of Salisbury. Queen Catherine's inability to give birth to an heir becomes a dark cloud hanging over the Tudor royal family. Margaret remembers a secret curse passed down in the family: the descendants of anyone who murders the Plantagenet Prince in the Tower will suffer the same fate. As Henry fell out with the queen, Margaret, who sided with Catherine, once again lost the king's trust, and her fate became precarious... Readers who want to understand the history of the Tudor Dynasty can feel the intensity of the various struggles surrounding the throne of England at that time from the book.
