From Yorkist Princess To Tudor Queen | Elizabeth Of York | The Wars of the Roses

Henry VII may have ended the Wars of the Roses by taking the crown from Richard III on the battlefield at Bosworth, but he could never have held together the fragile peace England found in its wake without one woman - his wife and queen, Elizabeth of York. Elizabeth was a princess born to a new dynasty, destined to endure great tragedy and great joy, and to be the mother of yet another new dynasty, the Tudors. This video looks at Elizabeth's life and the obstacles she overcame to take her rightful place in England's history... **Apologies for my error about Elizabeth Woodville's son - it was her younger son, Richard Grey, who was executed by Richard III, not her elder son Thomas Grey, as I've incorrectly stated.
