Quotes 

• Margaret Plantagenet : Lizzie? I heard about the accident. I am sorry for our aunt...

  Princess Elizabeth : [gives Arthur to nurse] 

  Margaret Plantagenet : Could this not be good? For Teddy? If the Duchess turns against the Tudors, perhaps she'll send some men to rescue him...

  Princess Elizabeth : It is bad, Maggie. Henry is more fearful than before. The threat against the Tudors means my sisters must now also be locked away in marriages. We must all be turned to Tudors.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Me as well?

  Princess Elizabeth : You are another York princess whose children could be heirs.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Well, who will I be wed to?

  Princess Elizabeth : I don't know yet.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Will I live near Westminster? You'll not make me go away from Teddy?

  Margaret Plantagenet : I have told Henry I shall influence the matches. His mother will not be let loose to match you all with beasts or peasants. I will make a stand against his mother. I will do my best for you.

• Edward Plantagenet aka Teddy : Take me home.

  Princess Elizabeth : I don't understand. Why would people say he is free if he is not?

  Henry VII : It will Burgundy stirring up unrest.

  Princess Elizabeth : But what unrest? How does it help them to say that he is free?

  Henry VII : They are claiming that they have him there. Using his name to raise an army against me.

  Margaret Plantagenet : No. Teddy could never...

  Henry VII : Maybe not. But my enemies don't know that. And he is a York heir.

  [leaves] 

  Margaret Plantagenet : Lizzie, please. Help him.

• Margaret Plantagenet : Please tell Henry it wasn't Teddy's fault. He didn't mean it. He always says that when someone calls out to him. Lizzie?

  Princess Elizabeth : I am sorry, Maggie.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Well, then will you try to help him?

  Princess Elizabeth : The best thing you can do is be obedient to your marriage plans. And pray for patience.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Do you know now? Who he is?

  Princess Elizabeth : He is a soldier. He is not a man I have met. He lives in Wales.

  Margaret Plantagenet : You did not make the choice then?

  Princess Elizabeth : Lady Margaret did.

• Margaret Plantagenet : Lizzie? Will it hurt?

  Cecily of York : A little bit. But then it feels quite nice.

• Richard Pole : My Lady Margaret.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Sir Richard.

  Richard Pole : An injury from Bosworth. It is a source of guilt to me that I can no longer fight in battle. And a torment when the weather turns. My heart was beating through my chest inside the chapel. I... I do not like to be, uh, the center of attention.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Nor I.

  Richard Pole : Margaret. I know I am beneath you but I will try to be a husband who's worthy of your name.

  Margaret Plantagenet : I do not want my name. Plantagenet is hateful to me. All it means is danger and a broken heart.

  Richard Pole : Your brother, Edward...

  Margaret Plantagenet : Must I live away from him? I cannot bear to.

  Richard Pole : Then we will often be in London. You only have to ask for what will make you happy.

  Margaret Plantagenet : Oh, thank you. Maggie Pole. Everyone calls me Maggie.

• Margaret Plantagenet : You and I will walk behind Lizzie and the King.

  Edward Plantagenet aka Teddy : Outside?

  Margaret Plantagenet : Yes, Teddy. Outside. But it's very important that we're good and do not make a sound. Do you understand?
