Lady Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury: The Last White Rose of York

She was one of England's highest members of the nobility. The niece of two king's of England, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth of York, Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury was one of only two peeresses in her own right. She was the royal governess to Princess Mary, she was the wealthiest woman in England, with sons who were popular and beloved members of Henry VIII's inner court, and yet, in the end, all of this went against her, for Margaret could not escape the blood that ran in her veins, which eventually put her, and her family, on an explosive collision course with the most volatile man to ever sit on the throne of England.
