The 20 episodes comprising "The White Queen" and "The White Princess" chronicle the vicious cycle of love, lust, seduction, and betrayal that took place during one of the most dramatic and turbulent periods of English history. Three relentless women - Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort, and Anne Neville - vie for power and the crown of England in the "The White Queen," where the adversarial family lines of the House of York and House of Lancaster find themselves in a deadly power struggle as York's Edward IV, crowned king of England, marries Elizabeth Woodville of Lancaster. This unforeseen relationship leads to the birth of their son, Henry Tudor, whose story unfolds over the course of the spinoff tale "The White Princess." Now king, Henry Tudor marries Princess Elizabeth of York, and they struggle through a tumultuous marriage that threatens to tear the kingdom apart.
