Book:
Cecily Duchess of York

Bloomsbury 2019

This is the first scholarly biography of Cecily Neville, duchess of York, the mother of Edward IV and Richard III. J. L. Laynesmith draws on a wealth of rarely considered sources to construct a fresh and revealing portrait of a remarkable woman, the only major protagonist to live right through the Wars of the Roses.

Winner of the 2018 Royal Studies Network Book Prize.
