Margaret of Anjou part 3


Listen Later

Queen She-wolf: The saga of Margaret of Anjou comes to an end.

Welcome back to the third installment in our Margaret of Anjou series. Today we're discussing Margaret's dramatic journey as Queen of England during the War of the Roses, her struggle against mental illness, her relentless fight for her family's throne, and her eventual tragic downfall. The episode features a mix of history, humor, and reflective commentary on how Margaret's legacy has been shaped by the victors' narrative.

We reference a few of our previous episodes in this one, and you can find all of our ladies of the Wars of the Roses on this page.
