15thcentury houseofyork king ladyanne laurenceolivier middleages richardiii shakespeare shortstory villain warofroses

Richard of Gloucester was a villain. He had been hideous since the cradle, with a crooked back and a limp leg and dark eyes that never showed tenderness or mercy. He had promised himself to become king over his brother Edward and George of Clarence, and marrying the wealthy lady Anne, widow of the Lancaster prince of Wales, is an imprescindible step towards the throne of England. But when the tenderness and fragility of his bride begin to bewitch the loveless heart of the Duke of Gloucester, will he hesitate to fulfil his wicked purpose?  Or will he keep going, even if that costs the life of the only being that had ever truly loved him?

Crown & Conspiracy by queenofhell062

In a kingdom built on ambition and betrayal, Queen Catherine weaves a dangerous web of deceit to claim ultimate power. Bound in a loveless marriage to King William, she finds solace-and passion-in the arms of his younger brother, Prince Henry. When her illicit affair results in a son, Catherine manipulates the court, ensuring that William believes the child to be his rightful heir. But ambition is a treacherous game, and Catherine is not content to simply rule from the shadows. Together with Henry, she plots the slow poisoning of the King, setting in motion a plan that will see her lover take the throne at her side. Yet fate is not so easily controlled-when she unexpectedly conceives a second child, one fathered by William, her carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Now, as the King weakens and the court teeters on the edge of chaos, Catherine must race against time to ensure William's demise before her secret is exposed. With enemies lurking in every corner and Henry's trust hanging by a thread, she must decide: will she risk everything for the throne, or will the lies she has spun become her undoing? Power. Passion. Betrayal. In this deadly game of crowns, there can only be one ruler. Will it be Catherine? Or will she fall victim to the very treachery she created?

The Last York Prince [AU] by echelon8394

HISTORICALLY INACCURATE: Based on Philippa Gregory "The White Princess" timeline, but AU: What if Richard III had a son before he was killed in Bosworth? Young Richard Plantagenet was brought up in court at the behest of his mother, Elizabeth of York, who claimed him as a bastard in hopes that her son with the previous king would be safe, but people knew it was not. Richard Plantagenet would always be a threat to the Tudors, but Jasper Tudor felt it was not right to kill a child, not when he can shape the young man, who looked so much like his late father, into a Tudor loyalist. Elizabeth Woodville feared for her grandson. Thinking that they had poisoned his mind, she sought to get the boy away from the Tudors. Richard was so much like his father. He was loyal, just and people support him. Margaret Beaufort may cut off his father's affinity, isolating the boy, but that doesn't mean no one can get to him. By sparing him, Elizabeth of York agreed to marry Henry Tudor. At what cost? Not able to acknowledge her son, Richard in public. Jasper Tudor took the child in and educated him the same way he did to Henry. Margaret, however, disagreed and hoped the boy to just..., disappeared. As he grew older, Richard learned more and more about his father, but he knew better than to listen to the Tudor propagandas. He was smart and careful whenever he's in court. Being one of the York princes, Elizabeth of York wondered. Would her son will be able to marry and have a family? She knew Richard had been on his own and she prayed he would be married and happy. From birth until his last breath, Richard Plantagenet lived his life, fighting for freedom and the love he wanted, refused to be subjected under Tudor's boot. Will Richard serve Tudors in obedience? Or will Richard fight to earn his rightful place as king?

King Henry by ShellyWritesBooks

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.
