This study of early modern queenship compares the reign of Henry VII’s queen, Elizabeth of York, and those of her daughters-in-law, the six queens of Henry VIII. More than a series of biographies of individual queens, Elizabeth of York and Her Six Daughters-in-Law is a careful, illuminating examination of the nature of Tudor queenship.

Retha M. Warnicke is Professor of History at Arizona State University, USA. She is the author of several books on women: Women of the English Renaissance and Reformation (1983); The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn: Family Politics at the Court of Henry VIII (1989); The Marrying of Anne of Cleves: Royal Protocol in Tudor England (2000); and Wicked Women of Tudor England: Queens, Aristocrats, and Commoners (Palgrave, 2012).

“The book achieves its stated aim, placing these various elements of the consorts’ roles, life events, and agency side by side, often for the first time, and this will make it an excellent place to find factual information on these topics quickly. … this is a useful book, rearranging existing information thoughtfully into a thematic rather than a biographical comparison, and it should be placed on reading lists for any number of undergraduate courses dealing with queenship during this period.” (Nicola Clark, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 6 (1), 2019)“Warnicke examines the reigns of each of the seven Tudor queen consorts and how they performed their roles as patrons of religion; presided over celebrations; managed their households; and experienced marriage and childbirth. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (D. R. Bisson, Choice, Vol. 55 (8), April, 2018)
