The Kingmaker's Daughter by Phillippa Gregory

The Kingmaker's Daughter (The Cousins' War) - Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, is powerful in 15th century England.  It is he who imprisoned Henry VI and put Edward IV on the throne.  When Edward marries Elizabeth Woodville, Neville conspires to put George, Edward's brother on the throne. He is also positioning his daughters, Isabel and Anne, to marry Edward's brothers, George and Richard respectively.  When he is unable to dethrone Edward, he turns back to Henry, trying to get his throne back and marries his youngest daughter to Henry's son Edward.
