Lady Margaret Beaufort, King Henry VII's mother, is the calculating mastermind behind Henry's ascent. She has sacrificed her whole life to propel her son's unlikely accession to the Throne of England, but now that they're at court together, she realizes they barely know one another. Desperate for intimacy with her son, she installs herself as King Henry's chief political advisor, but Lizzie's arrival at court threatens the balance of power. Margaret knows that securing the throne for the Tudor line won't be easy, and works to fortify King Henry's rule as York rivals plot against them. As her counsel is tested, she finds herself increasingly drawn into a battle with Lizzie for King Henry's heart and mind.
