The White Queen Premieres on BBC One on June 16, 2013
The White Queen is described as a tale of love and loss, seduction and deception, betrayal and murder woven through the stories of three different yet equally driven women caught up in the ongoing conflict for the throne: Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville. The year is 1464 and England has been at war for nine years battling over who is the rightful King of England — it is a war between two sides of the same family, The House of York and The House of Lancaster, whose heraldic symbols were a white and red rose, respectively, giving the power struggle its name. The House of York’s young and handsome Edward IV (Irons) is crowned King of England with the help of the master manipulator Lord Warwick “The Kingmaker” (Frain). But when Edward falls in love and secretly marries a beautiful young widow, the commoner Elizabeth Woodville (Ferguson), Warwick’s plan for control over the throne comes crashing down around him. Meanwhile, Woodville becomes a queen with the help of her mother Jacquetta (McTeer), a self-proclaimed sorceress. Elizabeth’s most fierce adversary is the staunchly loyal Lancastrian Margaret Beaufort (Hale), a damaged and highly religious woman who would willingly lay down her life to see her young son Henry Tudor take the throne. And then there is Anne Neville (Marsay), Lord Warwick The Kingmaker’s daughter — a pawn in her father’s battle for control who finds her strength and ambition when she takes control of her destiny and marries the King’s younger brother Richard Duke of York (Aneurin Bernard).

Who would of thought Elizabeth waiting with her sons in the hope of catching King Edward IV in the hope of getting her husbands land back would lead to a secret marriage but trying to rape her first should of been a warning and getting Edward's mother to curtsy was amusing

The Lancastrians being stripped of their titles by Edward was bound to upset those loosing their titles but Warwick being overjoyed by Elizabeth giving birth to a daughter was amusing and you would of thought he would want his girls close to Elizabeth to keep an eye on her, killing Elizabeth's father and brother she is bound to want revenge on Warwick and Edward’s brother George

Warwick and George not being punished for the killing of Elizabeth's father and brother is disappointing but understandable and the witchcraft was a little predictable

Warwick giving his daughter away just to try and get Edward off the throne is a desperate measure but Mary having an ace up her sleeve when arrested by Warwick for witchcraft was amusing as the new Queen was her alloy and Elizabeth escaping with the children was lucky

Edward secretly visiting Elizabeth was risky and I thought Edward was going to have to fight Warwick until he was killed by another in-front of him and the Countess leading her own army was surprising, Anne was lucky to be alive Author: codebreaker Time: 7-15-2013 03:05

Author: codebreaker Time: 7-22-2013 11:14 Subject: 1x06 Love and Death
Elizabeth having to deal with her mother dying along with Edward cheating was terrible and Anne trying to suck up to her sister as a way to stop them from keeping her locked up was sneaky, Richard proposing to Anne was nice Author: codebreaker Time: 7-29-2013 00:36
Edward toasting his with while he's with a couple of young girls was diabolical as she was also giving birth and Elizabeth thinking that Margaret had saved him because he came alive in her hands was understandable, George making his wife think Elizabeth was behind the witchcraft was interesting but Isabel dying before Anne got to her was sad and sentencing George to death had to happen sooner of later Author: codebreaker Time: 8-4-2013 14:30
Author: codebreaker Time: 8-5-2013 14:45 Subject: 1x08 Long Live the King
Elizabeth being devastated following Edward's death was understandable but no longer being the Queen and her fortunes gone must of been expected sooner or later, Richard locking young Edward in the tower for his own safety was suspicious Author: codebreaker Time: 8-12-2013 03:05
Author: codebreaker Time: 8-12-2013 12:04 Subject: 1x09 The Princes In The Tower
Anne secretly wanting the Princes in the tower dead behind her husband’s back was despicable and all to protect her position on the thrown but the curse to identify the killer should make for an interesting final

Prince Edward passing away would make you think Queen Anne was responsible for the death of Queen Elizabeth's sons if her curse actually worked but her so Richard returning was great but obviously the lookalike must of died with Edward Author: arksongbird80 Time: 1-22-2014 12:32
