What reading level is The Kingmaker's Daughter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The king himself has seventy-five thousand crowns in his treasury as payment for his promise for a peace treaty to last for seven years, and the King of France will pay fifty thousand pounds a year, every year that Edward does not re-state his claim to English lands in France. George Duke of Clarence, who was always at his brother’s side during the haggling, at the ready when there was easy money to be made, is named as the trustworthy councillor to arbitrate on this dishonourable pension, and h...e too is being paid a fortune. The only dissenting voice comes from my husband – of all the men who rode to France and came back richer, only my husband Richard warns Edward that this is no way to defeat the French king, cautions him that the commons of England will think that their taxes have been wasted, swears that the citizens of London and the gentry in parliament will turn against him for this dishonour, and begs him not to sell England’s birthright for this pension. I think Richard is the only one in all of the great English army to speak against the treaty.

Richard sees for the SECOND time that a dish of food intende for his wife , is eaten by a dog which died, positively from poison and cares nothing about it, not even to investigate to find the poisoner and track down from where the poison and the instructions came from.

From the time that Richard has gone to the former Queen to ask if she knew where the 2 boys were, the writer's depiction of Richard has shown very uneven, contrary , and uncertain manner. Shrugging off issues positively dangerous to himself, trusting Thomas Stanley with to be a jailer to his wife, which is the utmost folly even for a half-wit, Allowing the former Queen to be in the custody of his trusted friend whom he can see is being speedily beguiled by her and over complaisant.He seems to care nothing for these looming dangers.

very good. I think I preferred this to the White Princess which was my first book. The characterisation is more varied and Anne is stronger than Elizabeth. Richard really is scummy.

It was Anne Beauchamp, wife of the Duke of Warwick who had the 2 daughters. Cecily Neville was the mother of, amongst others, Kings Edward 4th and Richard 2rd.as well as Anne of Burgundy.

I don't know where this writer got he information from, about the number of children that Cecily Neville had. Isabel has just said that she only had two children Isabel and Anne. This is absolutely untrue. She had TWELVE children, one of whom was killed with her husband the Duke of York. There were about 4 who dies either at birth or shortly after. This was very common then women were conceiving like brood mares every year, so many children died at birth as did many wives.

A good story that flows easily. Told from the viewpoint of two sisters who have both been pawns in their father's ambition. Beautiful attention to historical detail.

Though at times it felt a little rushed, overall turned out to be a good and enjoyable read.Write Review:
