Shakespeare`s enduring image of Richard III`s queen is one of bitterness & sorrow. Anne curses the killer of her husband & father, before succumbing to his marriage proposal, bringing to herself a terrible legacy of grief & suffering an untimely death. Was Anne a passive victim? Did she really jump into bed with the enemy? Myths aside, who was the real Anne? As the Kingmaker`s daughter, she played a key role in his schemes for the throne. Brought up in the expectation of a glorious marriage, she was not the passive manipulated pawn of romantic legend; in fact, she was a pragmatist & a survivor, whose courage & endurance were repeatedly pushed to the limit. Her first marriage, to the young Lancastrian, Prince Edward, should have brought her riches & a throne, but when she returned to England to claim her right, she found herself fatherless & widowed. Her second marriage, to her childhood friend Richard of Gloucester, proved to be a successful & peaceful union. Then, in the spring of 1483, everything changed.
