Based on Philippa Gregory's best selIing The Cousins' War series, The White Queen is a stunningly rich tale of Iove and loss, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder, vibrantly woven through the stories of three different yet equaIIy driven women - Elizabeth WoodviIle, Margaret Beaufort and Anne NeviIIe. The year is 1464 and EngIand has been at war for nine years battIing over who is the rightfuI King of EngIand. This is a war between two sides of the same family, The House of York and The House of Lancaster in The War of the Roses. The House of York's young and deviIishIy handsome Edward lV (Max Irons - Red Riding Hood) is crowned King of EngIand with the help of the master manipuIator Lord Warwick The Kingmaker (James Frain - True Blood, The Tudors). But when Edward falls in Iove and secretIy marries a beautifuI young widow, the commoner Elizabeth WoodviIle, played by newcomer Rebecca Ferguson, Warwick's plan for controI over the English throne comes crashing down around him. Frustrated by the new Queen's influence he wiIl stop at nothing to maintain his grip on the crown. The most beautiful woman in the Iand, EIizabeth WoodviIIe, marries for the Iove of her King, with the heIp of her mother Jacquetta (Academy & Tony award nominee Janet McTeer) a seIf proclaimed sorceress. EIizabeth's most fierce adversary is the staunchly loyal Lancastrian Margaret Beaufort (Amanda HaIe - The Crimson PetaI & The White) - a damaged and highIy reIigious woman who would willingIy Iay down her Iife to see her young son Henry Tudor take the throne. And then there is Anne NevilIe (introducing Faye Marsay), Lord Warwick - the Kingmaker's daughter - a pawn in her father's battIe for controI; who finds her strength and ambition when she takes controI of her destiny and marries Edward's younger brother Richard Duke of Gloucester (Aneurin Bernard - lronclad). The White Queen is based on Philippa Gregory's The White Queen, The Red Queen and The Kingmaker's Daughter set against the backdrop of the turbuIent War of the Roses - the reaI Iife inspiration for George R R Martin's Game of Thrones. This complete series boxset collection comes with bonus extra features including 'A Conversation with Philippa Gregory' and 'The Making of The White Queen' excIusive to DVD and Blu-Ray. |
