4.9/5 (27323 ratings)

Description:In 1948, Dafydd Gruffydd, then Drama Producer for the BBC Welsh Home Service, asked Antonia Ridge to write a play for Saint David's Day, based on the strange story of Owen Tudor, the handsome Welsh soldier who had the temerity to fall in love with and secretly marry a Queen of England-Katherine of Valois, the gentle young widow of Henry V of Agincourt.It was Owen and Katherine's grandson, Henry Tudor, who became Henry VII, the first of the Tudor Monarchs, and so fulfilled the ancient Welsh prophecy that 'one day a Welsh King would rise and sit in Windsor.'The tragic love-story of Owen Tudor and Queen Katherine so fascinated Antonia Ridge that she then wrote and broadcast a radio serial on the same theme in 'Woman's Hour'. Since then many listeners have written to ask when this story was to be published. But all her research had made Antonia Ridge increasingly aware that she had only told one part of an even bigger and stranger tale, and on every visit to France she went back to all 'they say and tell and relate' in the contemporary Chronicles, the Records, the Diaries, the Street Songs, and even the Royal Household Bills stored in the Libraries of Ancient Archives in Paris and the nearby city of Troyes.Here now, thirteen years after that first radio play, is the story of 'The Thirteenth Child', daughter of a King of France, widow of a King of England, and true love of Owen Tudor, a gentleman of Wales. And, it may be added, the very many readers of Antonia Ridge's Family Album, Cousin Jan and Grandma went to Russia will not be disappointed by this, her first venture into the field of historical fiction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
