MARGARET OF ANJOU was a WARRIOR QUEEN of England and one of the women who fought the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century. Sadly for Margaret, as the wife of Henry VI, one of the country’s weakest ever Kings, she was also destined to be the woman who lost the Wars of the Roses. In this Plantagenets documentary from History Calling, we look at the woman William Shakespeare later called the she-wolf of France. We start (where else) with Margaret’s early life, moving onto her marriage to Henry and at the difficulties she faced when she became Queen of England at just 15. We’ll look at her dealings with other major figures in this period, including Richard, Duke of York, Cecily, Duchess of York, Lady Margaret Beaufort (mother of Henry Tudor, the future Henry VII), Richard, Earl of Warwick (also known as the Kingmaker) and the future Edward IV and Richard III.

If you’ve ever wondered, what were the Wars of the Roses (or indeed what was the Cousins’ War, which is another name this conflict is known by), then this video is for you. It is the third in a series on the women of the Wars of the Roses and will facilitate an understanding the Wars of the Roses more generally.
