Margaret of Anjou part 2: Power, Politics, and the Wars of the Roses.

We are back to continue our journey to get to know Margaret of Anjou. In this episode of the Queens podcast, we delve into the tumultuous life of Maggie OA. We'll explore her role as the Queen of England through a chaotic period marked by the mental illness of her husband, Henry VI, and the political strife of the Wars of the Roses.

If you like this episode but haven't listened to our Margaret Beaufort episodes, we think those two episodes complement each other well.
