Margaret of Anjou

Margaret of Anjou, closely related to the throne of France, was a glittering prize in the marriage lottery of the fifteenth century. When the statesmen of England sought her hand for Henry VI they saw in such a union a permanent solution to the Hundred Years war. Sadly, Margaret was soon to discover that her husband was more suitable for a monastic life than a wedded one. Her passionate nature, so woefully neglected, led her deeper and deeper into trouble, and she was prevented by her high destiny from enjoying the society of the man she loved.King, Betty is the author of 'Margaret of Anjou' with ISBN 9780708942314 and ISBN 0708942318.
