Philippa Gregory's latest novel in the Cousins' War series, The King's Curse, came out a little over a month ago. This work centers around lady-in-waiting Margaret Pole. Margaret Pole was the cousin to Elizabeth of York and married to Sir Richard Pole. For his loyalty, Sir Richard is given the governorship of Wales and the care of Arthur, the Prince of Wales and his bride Katherine of Aragon. Margaret Pole later becomes a lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine after Katherine's marriage to Henry VIII. Margaret is around to see the rise of Anne Boleyn and the deterioration of the Tudor court. In the end, Margaret must choose between her king and her queen.
