Incomparable voice--long preview of Philippa Gregory--The White Queen--Edward IV's wife--

And also, get this, Amazon Prime has episode 1--same title--free-
And also ep 101? in which I think Richard III is already on the throne--
But it's hard to follow--I think "marriage" of Woodvile girl and Henry VI who has been brought back from France by Jasper Tudor.
--I would suggest you read the Gregory novel--in the end novels are more detailed and easier to"connect up."
BTW--Philippa's writing is absolutely beautiful, magical.
The movie version has explicit love scenes and nudity.
