‘Clever…the narrative has the colour and power of the best of the chronicles she uses.’ – Sunday TimesMargaret of Anjou is young, beautiful, French and wildly unpopular when she marries England’s ill-fated Henry VI. After the English are banished from France, civil war erupts. Margaret becomes a warrior queen, fighting for her husband’s right to be king and her son’s position as his rightful heir. Meanwhile, heiress Margaret Beaufort is born into a troubled inheritance. Fiercely sought after by courtiers, by the age of thirteen she has married twice and given birth to her only son, who will be the future king of England. But then he is taken from her. . .
