Historian Stuart McCabe’s acclaimed biography Queen Margaret Tudor - the story of Henry VIII’s elder sister - is now re-edited for a US audience eager for new perspectives on the Tudor dynasty.

    Stuart McCabe’s Queen Margaret Tudor is a compelling biography of Henry VIII’s elder sister, a woman too often neglected in the shadow of her famous family. As Queen of Scotland and grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots, Margaret Tudor forged alliances, endured betrayals, and fought to protect her son’s inheritance - shaping the course of British history.

    This new American edition reframes Margaret’s story for readers fascinated by the Tudors, presenting her as the missing link between the Tudor and Stuart dynasties. McCabe’s scholarship combines rigorous research with a lively, accessible narrative, ensuring the biography resonates with both academic and general readers. For those who know the Tudors through the drama of Henry, Elizabeth I, and Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Margaret Tudor reveals how one overlooked sister was central to the dynasty’s legacy.
