The White Princess	comment	A British-American historical fiction miniseries that aired on Starz for eight episodes in 2017. It is based off of Philippa Gregory's 2013 novel of the same name, and is also a sequel to The BBC's 2013 miniseries The White Queen.In this series, the Wars of the Roses is effectively ended by the marriage of Henry VII (Jacob Collins-Levy) and Elizabeth of York (Jodie Comer), which unites the houses of York and Lancaster into The House of Tudor... which wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that said houses aren't exactly on good terms with each other. Their respective mothers, Margaret Beufort (Michelle Fairley) and Elizabeth Woodville (Essie Davis) use their children to plot and scheme. The Yorkist faction continues to be a thorn in Henry's side and produces a rival claimant to the throne, Perkin Warbeck (Patrick Gibson). All this threatens the stability of their recently reforged kingdom.Followed by The Spanish Princess, which chronicles the marriage(s) of Henry and Elizabeth's son, Henry VIII.

The White Princess / int_13e3985d	comment	Crucified Hero Shot: The adult Perkin Warbeck is first introduced with his arms outstretched in front of stained glass. In context, he's being measured by a tailor, but symbolically, it emphasizes that he is the new champion of the Yorkist cause. He does the same pose as his head is about to get lopped off, proclaiming himself the true king of England until the last moment.

The Cathedral is seen despite being finished in 1507 only. The reception consists of the Princess and courtiers flashmob-dancing to Flamenco, a Romani dance from the mid-18th century. To top it off, the bethrothal was actually arranged at Medina del Campo, not even in Andalusia, and in 1489.

His female relatives more or less believe that he is but there is still the niggling doubt that he is just a very convincing imposter, as Richard Pole says — Lizzie notes his resemblance to her father; meanwhile, their grandmother Cecily thinks that his eyes may or may not be the right color. note Gregory wrote in the epilogue to the novel that she believed Warbeck's claim was genuine, but this view is rejected by most historians.

The White Princess / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
The White Princess / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History: While we can't ever say for sure Henry VII absolutely never raped Elizabeth, historians agree that this is unlikely. Henry was known to be a ‘most prudent’ king, who did not act impetuously. It would have been an extremely consequential scandal that would have enraged York loyalists. Though this is used to explain why their first son was born eight months early, there are more likely explanationsnote either Arthur was born prematurely, or Henry and Elizabeth consummated the marriage after a verbal promise of marriage or ‘hand fasting’ which was seen as a binding agreement that was often viewed as enough to justify physical relations. The notion that Margaret Beaufort would have considered "testing Elizabeth's fertility" is also unlikely, as she was married and impregnated at age twelve and was so small and slight that her son’s birth when she was thirteen nearly killed her. Elizabeth of York was not in love with, let alone lost her virginity to Richard III. The real Elizabeth wouldn't have had much cause to like him very much considering what did to her family: he took the throne that rightfully belonged to her brother, imprisoned the Princes in the Tower (which directly lead to their disappearances, with foreign contemporaries believing that Richard had killed them), and declared her parents’ marriage invalid and she and her siblings bastards. Richard III also publicly denied their rumour of marriage. Elizabeth Woodville didn't conspire against Henry VII. It just wouldn't make sense - her sons were imprisoned, most likely dead, and she could ensure a good future for her daughters by collaborating with the new regime. The betrothal she and Margaret Beaufort agreed on for Elizabeth and Henry benefited her, as it created an alliance against Richard III. Richard III was not 'buried alive' in a shallow grave. Following his death, Richard's body was stripped naked and taken to Leicester where it was put on public display for two days (it was common practice for a royal body to be put on display as proof of death), before being buried in the choir of the Greyfriars at Leicester and in 1495, ten years after the burial, Henry VII paid for a marble and alabaster monument to mark Richard's grave, Sir George Buck wrote that it was "a fair tomb of mingled colour marble adorned with Richard's image". The discovery of Richard's skeleton in the 2010's confirmed this. The show justifies continued rivalry between immediate families of Elizabeth and Henry by claiming one of her brothers survived. In reality, the man who claimed to be him was revealed to actually be named Perkin Warbeck and was most certainly an impostor, for several reasons. The series using Warbeck as the real Richard of Shrewsbury has one BIG issue: Warbeck laid the blame for the murder of his "brother”, Edward V, directly at Richard III’s feet, and claimed to only have escaped because an unnamed “lord” felt sorry for him; this clashes with the show having the murder being done by Margaret Beaufort. Elizabeth and Henry didn't travel to Spain to negotiate the marriage of Arthur and Catherine of Aragon. That's what envoys were for. The Cathedral is seen despite being finished in 1507 only. The reception consists of the Princess and courtiers flashmob-dancing to Flamenco, a Romani dance from the mid-18th century. To top it off, the bethrothal was actually arranged at Medina del Campo, not even in Andalusia, and in 1489. Neither Margaret Beaufort, nor Elizabeth would be allowed to sit on the Privy Council, that was the king’s council comprised of officials such as the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Treasurer as well as other major Nobles of the Realm. Both Queen and Queen Mother would have been more busy visiting Abbeys and giving to charity rather than running the government. While she was rather charitable, Elizabeth of York would not have been throwing money to the people who dying of the sweating sickness, as England had been left bankrupt after the reigns of her father and uncle. The series has Elizabeth Woodville dying after Jasper Tudor, where this happened the opposite way in real life (she died in 1492 while Jasper died in 1495). There's no historical evidence that supports the claim the series made that Margaret Beaufort and Jasper Tudor were ever in love with each other. Their relationship was more akin to Like Brother and Sister as she had been the widow of his older brother Edmund and the mother of his nephew that he raised. In the show, Mary of Burgundy falls off her horse while racing Lord Strange across a field, and dies later the same day. In actuality, her riding accident occurred while she was hunting in the woods with her husband and knights of the court; her horse tripped and threw her into a ditch, then fell on top of her, and she died of her injuries several weeks later.

She then expresses a liking to her new surname, Pole and tells Richard that everyone calls her Maggie, prompting a smile from him. Even though Jasper loves Margaret and his marriage to Kate was arranged in order to get back at Margaret by Elizabeth, Kate Woodville does manage to win him over with her kindness and they're often shown walking arm in arm, showing they're at least close.

The same nickname was also used once in the previous series to refer to his double-cousin Edward of Middleham. Perkin Warbeck, even into his twenties, is often referred to as "The Boy", by those who are unsure of his real identity.

She has higher status than either his wife or the Dowager Elizabeth, even getting the Queen's suite of rooms in the first few episodes. Certainly justified given the lengths to which she went in order to install her son on the throne. Lampshaded in the premiere by Elizabeth, who wonders if Henry intends to ignore her and wed his mother instead. This changes rather abruptly in the finale, when Henry discovers that Margaret was responsible for killing the Princes in the Tower. He almost strangles her to death on the spot, and orders the rest of the court to abandon their deference to her.

Henry was a small child when The White Queen started and appeared only sporadically until the later episodes. Elizabeth wasn't even born until the second episode, and doesn't get a major speaking role until the eighth. Teddy Warwick is introduced as the main rival to Henry's rule. His execution is the climactic moment of the finale. In the first series he was briefly seen as a baby then pretty much forgotten. His sister Margaret had barely been mentioned. Richard of Shrewsbury, Edward IV's second son, was a baby in the sixth episode and still a child by the end, having very few lines when he is seen. He is briefly seen at the opening of this series, then disappears until the end of episode 4, from which point he becomes the driving force behind most of the remaining plot.

Richard III has different hair and body composition to Aneurin Barnard. The crown is a different design. The crown falls from Richard's head, rather than being grabbed from his corpse. It's actually in a field this time, whereas Queen set it in a forest for some reason. The battle was also moved from winter to a more accurate summer. Elizabeth of York changes from ginger to blonde. Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort both age about thirty years in one jump to make up for lost time. An in-universe example occurs when Henry VII has his reign legally backdated to the 21st August 1485—the day before the Battle of Bosworth—so that he was the king on the field and so Richard's supporters were the traitors.

The White Princess / int_e16217f8	comment	Historical Villain Upgrade: Historical record shows that Henry VII's marriage to Elizabeth of York seems to have been happy and remarkably peaceful, with no extramarital affairs. While their relationship here largely reflects that, it starts off with him raping her. He also later has an affair with Catherine Gordon. Margaret Beaufort was undoubtedly ambitious - she supported her son in his efforts to gain the throne and after he became king, she demanded to be treated as a queen, pushing Elizabeth of York to the wayside. However, other than that, she is mostly remembered as a kind, pious and intelligent woman who used her considerable influence on the court for good. She supported artists and academics, and when Cecily of York married a commoner against the will of her son, she spoke in her favor to Henry. Definitely a far cry from the crazy, shrewish religious fanatic and effectively a villain of the story this show portrays her as... What's known of Cecily of York has next to nothing to do with the character presented. It is true that she was very close to Margaret Beuafort, as Margaret later convinced Henry VII to forgive Cecily for having an unapproved (second) love-marriage with an essential peasant. But she was not likely envious and spiteful to Elizabeth of York. Her marriage seems to have indeed been Perfectly Arranged Marriage, from her later words regarding her husband's death, but there was no reported incident at her wedding. She also, contrary to a throw-away line in later episodes, visited her mother the most of Elizabeth's surviving children.

The White Princess / int_f5a3e496	type	Suspiciously Similar Substitute
The White Princess / int_f5a3e496	comment	Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Many character roles are handed down a generation: Both series begin with a newly-victorious king marrying a woman from the rival faction. In 'Queen this was Edward IV marrying Elizabeth Woodville, in 'Princess it was Henry VII marrying her daughter, Elizabeth of York. The elder Elizabeth in turn spends most of the series casting spells in secret, as her own mother Jacquetta had done years before. note This is explicitly said to be an hereditary trait. The story arc of Margaret Plantagenet—small, shy woman who eventually learns to stand up to the men around her—is much like that of her double-aunt Anne Neville.

The White Princess / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Despite them not being close, Lizzie's sister Cecily comforts her and insists their mother is just being spiteful when it seems Elizabeth Woodville is ill-wishing Arthur to clear the way for Richard's return. Both of them also display a Big Sister Instinct toward Maggie, who's nervous over her wedding. Henry also spares Lambert Simnel at the urging of Richard Pole, who points out the boy was nothing but an Unwitting Pawn for the Yorkists.
