An historical play set in the time of Louis XII,  ''[[The White Queen]]'', it was specifically written for the actress [[Lillian Beddard]], said by her to be by "Palgrave of London" (i.e. R. Palgrave, other sources have is a play J.W. Boulding as the author - or it may have been both jointly, for they had also authored ''[[Jane Shore]]'' as a team in 1885).
 
 
 
The play was most successfully produced in London by Bedard, who later took it on her many international tours as part of her repertoire.
