This is episode 2 of a 4 part series. Episode 1 is called Who Started The Wars Of The Roses? Episode 3 is called Was King Henry VI Murdered? Episode 4 is called The Sinister Rise And Fall Of King Richard III You're welcome! 😀

I admire this woman so much

I think it's pretty safe to say Queen Margaret was as abrasive, because if she wasn't she would have been deposed with Henry. Ruthlessness kept crowns, not benevolence.

I found Chronicle Medieval about a week ago, and I'm hooked! Very well done❣️
-
Must say that I have for a long time had a soft spot for Margaret of Anjou and Margaret Beaufort is right up there too
-
Hanging on every word! What a great channel!

Margaret was a loyal wife devoted mother determined military leader and had an indomitable spirit She started nothing Divisions were present well before she became queen Sadly the real causer was her husband just a chap born at the wrong time As for cruelty the first summary executions were committed by the Yorkists after the First Battle of St Albans Her letters reveal a much kinder side too Great Queen!

Interestingly behind all the male belligerence, there were three women stirring the hornet's nest - Margaret of Anjou (Lancaster), then Elizabeth Woodville (York), then finally Margaret Beaufort (Tudor).

Inspiration for Cersei Lannister? I wonder.

Very well done....thanks for sharing

Honestly, have men ever required a woman to commit acts of violence? Every woman since Biblical Eve always gets the blame even when they are simply being used as an excuse.

Margaret of Anjou was an interesting person, and it's a pity this Yorkist propaganda piece says very little about her. Margaret is also the best role in all of Shakespeare, as I learned from the second season of This Hollow Crown. It is exhilarating to watch Sophie Okonedo's progress from uncertain child bride to courtly power broker, to hardened warrior and finally to vengeful old woman with nothing left to lose. For those wondering about the geography, Blore Heath is close to Newcastle-under-Lyme, not as implied the much larger and more famous Newcastle-upon-Tyne. And a minor corrrection: in England, New Year's Day was not the first of January 1461, but in March.

The Lancastrian's plundering was an ugly precurser to what Henry VIII did to Catholics.
