The King's Grey Mare was Elizabeth Woodville, queen of Edward IV. Beautiful beyond belief, with her unique silver-grey hair, she had once known joy of a marriage based on love - only to see it snatched away on the battlefield. Hardened and changed by grief, Elizabeth became the tool of her evil ambitious mother - the witch, Jaquetta of Bedford - who was determined that her daughter should sit on the throne of England. By trickery, deception and witchcraft, Jaquetta's wish was fulfilled. But even a witch could not have known the tragedy which lay in store for the King's Grey Mare.
