Shownotes

It's a new season and Queens Podcast is back to spill the tea on Margaret of Anjou, sometimes known as the she-wolf of France. Margaret was a fierce queen consort of England as wife of Henry VI, but in this episode we're going to meet baby Margaret and discuss the journey that got her to She Wolf territory.
If this is your first Wars of the Roses episode, you might also enjoy any of these episodes between part 1 & 2:

• Margaret Beaufort (open.spotify.com/episode/1q2L0nj85OikPSxVHhuTrr)

• Elizabeth Woodville (open.spotify.com/episode/704waVDkvWvtp4wGrWugu3)

• Jacquetta of Luxembourg (open.spotify.com/episode/0XPvRI042fcr1yZKIJIwRs)

Also, her grandmother Yolande of Aragon (open.spotify.com/episode/59BTE6DLeQ9tflgJkSuUh…) is someone who we've covered that we think you'll like to!
