Philipa Gregory going out of her way to demonize Margaret Beaufort, who was 100% a victim of child marriage and rape, while in the same breath romanticizing Edward and Richard will always be jarring to me. In the show, Edward attempted to rape Elizabeth to the point where she had to threaten suicide to get him to back off, but she still portrayed him as genuinely 'good' guy. Richard was behind the death of his nephews historically, but she made that vague, and then had him with his niece (????), but for the majority of the show he was portrayed as a 'nice guy'. IDK it's weird. It's weird when female authors have the ability to impact how historical women are seen in their literature, and instead of being kind to them, they are cruel. Gregory's writing has negatively impacted the portrayals of Margaret and how she is viewed in a lot of historical literature circles.

Sis you had ONE job!!

"But Kavita Mudan Finn has shown that while fifteenth and sixteenth century authors admired Elizabeth's virtue, being a 'good' girl limited her literary potential compared to the 'traitor' Margaret of Anjou and 'adulteress' Elizabeth Woodville, who allowed for more risqué representation and didactic moralizing. Writers lauded Elizabeth of York for uniting Lancaster and York, and they sometimes portrayed her as a virgin martyr in accounts where Richard III tried to force her into wedlock. But otherwise, legitimizing Henry undercut her status by subordinating her to him, and in literary sources she rarely appears following their marriage. In William Shakespeare's works, she practically disappears."

Hello friend

What was Elizabeth Woodville’s personality.

Was she ambitious, pliant or hot tempered

I don’t know much about her, really :<

She seemed to have an ambitious, practical and well-balanced mind, since she masterfully arranged the marriages of her siblings and children, marrying them into wealthy, stable and well-to-do houses. In her marriage with Edward IV, which seemed passionate enough to produce no less than ten children with him in a spam of fourteen years (the remaining three years of their marriage, prior to Edward’s death, they produced no more children, as she was already forty-three when she birthed her twelfth and last child, princess Bridget of York; a very late maternal age for her time, and a perilous too, if you see cases such as Anne Jagellon of Hungary or Eleanor of Castile, Queen of England, who died not much after giving birth to a child at a very late age); I think that, despite she may have not been fond of her husband taking Jane Shore as his mistress, she was opposed to her penance walk, and turned her into an ally during the brief reign of Richard III.

Her role as the mother of the last scions of a legendary lineage, as a big historical figure and as a wise matchmaker are the only things I can deduce from her psyche.
