    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.

    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

    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).

    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.

    The Lancastrians had the superior claim to the throne of England as they were descended from King Edward III in the male only line (agnatic primogeniture) from John of Gaunt the third son of King Edward III. The Yorkists in the male only line were descended from Edmund of Langley the fourth son of King Edward III. Although they were also descended from King Edward III through Lionel of Antwerp his second son it was in a partially female line and in medieval times women and men descended through women were not allowed the throne of England or the throne of another kingdom. By the laws of the time the Lancastrians were the rightful Kings of England.

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