Description
How did Margaret of Anjou, wife of the ineffective Henry VI and later a queen without a throne, become the most notorious of English medieval queens and help to start the War of the Roses? This book examines not just how she gained influence, but how she exercised it and how she had to overcome the restrictions that affected all women of her time.
