About this deal

a Rose Gules, with a rose Argent superimposed, a thistle in its Proper colours, growing from the same stalk, crowned (for Great Britain, after the Acts of Union) Secondary Character Title: The Sunne In Splendour refers to Edward IV, and is his emblem, rather than the novel's protagonist, Richard. Ms. Penman’s novel, rich in detail and research, attempts to set the record straight . . . it is an uncommonly fine novel, one that brings a far-off time to brilliant life.” Childhood Friend Romance: Richard and Anne know each other as small children, with the younger Anne developing a crush on him that he is both embarrassed and flattered by.

God Save Us from the Queen!: The way most of the main characters react to Elizabeth Woodville Grey and Margurite of Anjou. Isabel marries George thinking she will become Queen of England. When it appears that Anne will have that honor, she is jealous, even though Anne is horrified and doesn't want to be queen. Edward IV and his younger brother Edmund are this as well. As boys, the thoughtful and noble Edmund served as a grounding force for the more hedonistic Edward, and he knows it. He laments his younger brother's murder years into his kingship, knowing things would have been different had Edmund lived.Early in the book, Edward is off seducing Richard's nanny when Richard becomes lost and it is Edmund that must find Richard. The reader is left with the haunting sensation that perhaps the good a man does can live after him---especially in the hands of a dedicated historian. The San Diego Union

Her display even seduces the austere solicitor who'd come to deal with her during her imprisonment, and she marries him.She Is All Grown Up: Richard noticed the changes in Anne after the Battle of Tewkesbury. They hadn't seen each other for nineteen months and he saw that she grew taller and developed curves. Later Edward IV noticed it too on her wedding day. After all her machinations, Elizabeth Woodville succeeds in defeating Richard and placing her daughter on the throne, only to have Henry Tudor and Margaret Beaufort send her to a convent.
