An Evening with Alison Weir - Nottingham

Join us as we welcome Alison Weir to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of Queens at War.

Triumph and tragedy, love and loss, M**der and malice in the lives of five fifteenth-century queens.

The fifteenth century was a turbulent age: the Hundred Years War between England and France, and the Wars of the Roses dominated the lives of people both inside and out of the royal courts.

Joan of Navarre, Katherine of Valois, Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Wydeville and Anne Neville were the queens who stood by England's sovereigns, caught up in wars that changed the course of their lives, and the course of history.

They were also formidable women who defied the limitations of their times, often living out the brutal consequences of their determination.

Alison Weir uncovers their stories in this final volume of her ground-breaking series on the queens of medieval England. Queens at War is a stunning culmination of research by a historian at the full extent of her powers and gripping account of five women on the throne.

Alison will talk about her new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.
