The King’s Sister

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

All my thanks to my agent, Jane Judd, who, in the beginning, was willing to take on my fixation with medieval women. Her continuing support and enthusiasm for me and the voiceless women of the English Middle Ages are beyond praise.

Also my profound thanks to Sally Williamson at MIRA, who burrows under the skin of my characters with as much tenacity as I do. Her insight is invaluable. And to all the staff at MIRA whose professional commitment has enabled Elizabeth of Lancaster to live again.

And my thanks to Helen Bowden and all at Orphans Press. Their expertise in dealing with website matters, genealogy and maps is exceptional. I could not manage without them.
