Giveaway: Win A Blu-ray Copy Of The White Queen And More

Starz is a big fan of period dramas with flair and plenty of sexual tension, and the subscription cable network’s recent collaboration with the BBC proved to be no exception. The White Queen gave us an exciting twist on the life and times of Elizabeth Woodville, who later became the queen consort to Edward IV, and on February 4 the series is headed onto Blu-ray and DVD, courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville each bring different motives and perspectives to the small screen, and if you want to learn more about the historical nature of the drama, you’ll be able to do so through the bonus features, which offer extras giving the series historical context, as well as behind-the-scenes looks at the making of the period drama.
