Margaret of Anjou
Makers of History
Margaret of Anjou, published in 1861 in Jacob Abbott's Makers of History series, tells the story of the French princess who became the queen of Henry VI of England. Abbott follows her from her marriage and splendid bridal procession into the troubles of a weak king's reign, the rivalry of the great nobles and the outbreak of the Wars of the Roses. As Henry's mind failed, Margaret took the lead of the Lancastrian cause herself, raising armies, fleeing with her son, and fighting on through defeat and exile. Abbott writes for young readers in a clear, steady narrative and uses her life to explain the customs and ideas of the fifteenth century.
