The seventh daughter, she is the only one left unmarried by 1424, the year she turns nine. In her father’s eyes, however, she is merely a valuable pawn in the game of marriage. The Earl of Westmorland plans to marry his youngest daughter to 13-year-old Richard, Duke of York, who is close to the throne.This is a splendid match, for if anything were to happen to three-year-old King Henry, Richard would be King. But Cecylee’s mother, Countess Joan, is not happy at being forced to part with her youngest daughter. She persuades her husband to change the ceremony to a betrothal so that Cecylee can continue to live at home under her mother’s guidance, while her father tutors Richard in the knightly arts.A year later, Cecylee’s father is dead and Countess Joan becomes one of the most powerful magnates of England.
