The first full exploration of the accusations of malicious witchcraft that plagued the lives of four royal women, and the Woodville line, for centuries. 'An important and timely book' - Philippa Gregory. Joan of Navarre was the richest woman in the land, at a time when war-torn England was penniless. Eleanor Cobham was the wife of a weak king's uncle and her husband was about to fall from grace. Jacquetta Woodville was a personal enemy of Warwick the Kingmaker, who was about to take his revenge. Elizabeth Woodville was the widowed mother of a child king, fighting Richard III for her children's lives. In Royal Witches, Gemma Hollman explores the lives of these four unique women, looking at how rumours of witchcraft brought them to their knees in a time when superstition and suspicion was rife. AUTHOR: Gemma Hollman has a Masters degree in Medieval History from the University of York. She runs Just History Posts blog and Twitter account (1,400 followers), and has written for the British Numismatic Journal. She lives in Hertfordshire. 10 b/w illustrations
