Philippa Langley reveals the findings of a remarkable new research initiative: ‘The Missing Princes Project'. In the summer of 1483, Edward V (aged 12) and his brother Richard Duke of York (aged 9), disappeared from the Tower of London. For over 500 years, history has judged that they were murdered on the orders of their uncle Richard III. Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower.

Story
The Tudor dynasty died out because there was no heir of Elizabeth I's body to succeed her. Henry VIII, despite his six marriages, had produced no legitimate son who would live into old age. Three of the reigning Tudors (Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I) died without heirs apparent, the most tragic case being that of Mary Tudor, who went through two recorded cases of phantom pregnancy. If it were not for physical frailty and the lack of reproductive health among the Tudors, the course of history might have been different.

Publisher's Summary
Alison Weir, historian and author of the Sunday Times best sellers Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen and Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession, draws a finely detailed and enthralling portrait of Jane Seymour, Henry VIII's third queen. Essential listening for fans of Philippa Gregory and Elizabeth Chadwick.
The woman haunted by the fate of her predecessor. Eleven days after the death of Anne Boleyn, Jane is dressing for her wedding to the King. She has witnessed at firsthand how courtly play can quickly turn to danger and knows she must bear a son...or face ruin. This new Queen must therefore step out from the shadows cast by Katherine and Anne - in doing so, can she expose a gentler side to the brutal King?
Acclaimed, best-selling historian Alison Weir draws on new research for her captivating novel, which paints a compelling portrait of Jane and casts fresh light on both traditional and modern perceptions of her. Jane was driven by the strength of her faith and a belief that she might do some good in a wicked world. History tells us how she died. This spellbinding novel explores the life she lived.

Captivating
An often overlooked story about one of King Henry’s most beloved wives. We all know how Jane Seymour’s story ends but it was interesting to hear how much of an influence she had on her husband.
I loved this book. I’ve listened to it many times now. Another great Alison Weir novel

Beautifully written and read
Such a great and sad story. This book was so well written and the narrator has the perfect voice to match the era. I was surprised at how emotional I became at the end of the book. Definitely a must listen for anyone who enjoys historical stories

So poignant yet so sad.
How wonderfully written and expertly performed. Thanks both Alison and Rose. History brought to life.
I read recently that it was very likely a pulmonary embolism which took Jane’s life. One of the major downsides of ‘rest in bed’ during confinement.

Like listening to the previous two rolled into one
A bit boring if you've listened to the first two volumes about Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn.
Very repetitive.
In all the books but especially this one, the characters are a bit two dimensional. This isn't helped by the narration which is especially poor for the male characters.
One could skip this book in the series and not miss anything.
