    The Servant who Married a Queen and Fathered a Royal Dynasty.
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2016*

Catherine of Valois was a prize of war. After Henry V of England defeated the French in the famous battle of Agincourt, part of the peace settlement was that the daughter of the French King Charles VI would marry Henry. The marriage between the English King and the French princess was short-lived because he died of the flux in 1422, leaving Catherine with and infant son.Owain ap Maredydd ap Tudur , whose name was anglicized to Owen Tudor, was the disenfranchised son of a Welsh nobleman. Having lost his patrimony, he became a soldier of fortune and fought with King Henry’s bowman in France. After Henry’s death he became a retainer in the dowager Queen’s household, the master of her wardrobe, charged, essentially with running the household.The story is told from the point of view of Owen, who, despite a dalliance with the Queen’s maid Juliette, falls deeply in love with the Queen. Once the young Prince Henry is removed from the household to undertake his training for the Kingship, Catherine takes notice of the devoted Owen and begins to return his affection. They marry in secret and set up household in Much Hadam, a quiet village some forty miles north of London. They know that their marriage will not be approved by Sir Humphrey and Sir Beaufort, the advisors of the young King, and they endeavor to keep the marriage secret as long as possible. During the years of their marriage, Catherine gives birth to three sons, but she dies in childbirth after giving birth to a daughter. The baby dies after a week. By this time their marriage has been discovered by the Prince’s counselors and Owen is in big trouble.After a stint in Newgate Prison, Owen is released thanks to the mercy of the young King. Eventually Owen’s sons, Edmund and Jasper become favorites of the King, who is, after all their half-brother. Edmund marries Margaret Beaufort and they give Owen a grandson, Henry. There is a cloud on the horizon as the Richard, the Duke of York is determined to wrest the throne of England from the feckless King, Henry VI. Owen’s sons attempt to reconcile the factions but are finally forced to support their half- brother the King in a bitter and prolonged civil war.Tony Riches has written a fascinating account of a troubled period in English history and a sympathetic portrait of a romantic relationship between two people of very unequal rank which would spawn a dynasty.

    Excellent book of early Tudors.
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2015*

I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written book.  I did enjoy the telling of the story in the first person. The story of Owen Tudor is so often just a side note in the telling of the War of the Roses and the Tudors.  The fact that this man would marry the former Queen of England and the sister of the King of France is fascinating.  Of interest to me is the mental illness by Catherine and her son Henry VI.  Could this have caused the mercurial moods of Henry VII and Henry VIII?  I am looking forward to the next books about Jasper and Henry VII.

    Poignant Tale of a Welsh Servant Who Won the Heart of a Queen and Sired the Tudor Dynasty
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020*

The legacy of King Henry VIII has always fascinated me, but I knew very little about the earlier accounts of the Tudor dynasty. Thus, I selected "Owen: Book One of the Tudor Trilogy" by Tony Riches to learn more about how the Tudor Dynasty was established. The story of Owen, the great-grandfather of Henry VIII, is as fascinating as the tales about the legendary king. Told in the first-person perspective of Owen, the story begins in 1422 when he first meets his new mistress, Queen Catherine of Valois, the young widow of King Henry V. The queen's young son, Harry (Henry VI), is crowned King of England and France. Nobles responsible for the young king's upbringing tightly control the queen's life and her influence on her son. Owen, serving as the Keeper of the Wardrobe, loyally serves and befriends Queen Catherine and gains her trust. Rumors of Catherine's affair with the 2nd Duke of Somerset prompts a parliamentary statute that forbids her to remarry until her son comes of age. Soon after, Catherine and Owen fall in love and secretly marry in the backdrop of political turmoil that ultimately leads to the War of Roses.Author Tony Riches has masterfully written a poignant love story narrated by Owen in the present tense. The moment-by-moment narrative helps the reader more actively engage with Owen's life journey. The story is rich with vivid descriptions and natural dialogue that highlights Owen's wit and cleverness. Although his childhood has been shattered by the loss of his Welsh noble parents and heritage, Owen becomes the unlikely second husband to Queen Catherine and the father of her children. Their secret love and marriage have tragic consequences in the backdrop of the War of Roses. Yet Owen's firstborn son, Edmund, ultimately becomes the father of King Henry VII, the first monarch in the Tudor Dynasty."Owen: Book One of the Tudor Trilogy" is one of my favorite novels that I've read this year. I highly recommend this book to historical fiction readers, particularly those interested in the Tudor Dynasty.
