MANIFESTO OF MARGARET OF ANJOU TO THE CITIZENS OF

LONDON IN 1461/LETTER TO SUSAN HIGGINBOTHAM

Dear Mrs Higginbotham

As you probably know, I am a great admirer of your interesting

historical novels, especially your accurate historical research.

Perhaps you’ll remember that I wrote you some comments on your novel about

Margaret of Anjou ”Queen of Last Hopes”

See

http://www.astridessed.nl/wars-of-the-rosesmargaret-of-anjouletter-to-susan-higginbotham-about-her-book-queen-of-last-hopes/

Since then I wrote some critical remarks on your post

”If Margaret, why not Cecily?”

See your post

See my comments, which were published on your webliog

The Wars of the Roses/[NevillFeast]/Wakefield and murder at Pontefract

WAKEFIELD AND MURDER AT PONTEFRACT

Firstly, I need to say that others have written about the battle of Wakefield in more depth than I can here. Keith Dockray & Richard Knowles’ excellent article can be found here in its entirety; and Helen Cox and Philip Haigh have both written more detailed accounts, among many others.

WARS OF THE ROSES/MARGARET OF ANJOU/LETTER

TO SUSAN HIGGINBOTHAM ABOUT HER

BOOK ´´QUEEN OF .LAST HOPES´´

PORTRAYAL OF MARGARET OF ANJOU AND

RICHARD, DUKE OF YORK

Dear Readers

´´Queen of Last Hopes´´, fictional historical novel of writer Susan Higginbotham,

about the life of Margaret of Anjou, wife of the medieval English

King Henry VI, was one of the books, which fascinated me last year

2014.

Red theme in the life of Margaret of Anjou were the Wars of Roses,

the fight to the death for the English throne between the Houses of

Lancaster and York .

It´s such a passionate period of history, that one nearly can´t avoid to

raise sympathy either for the Lancasters or the Yorks.

However, of importance is to take a historically balanced stand,

acknowledging that on both sides there were cruelties and injustice,

and that human beings are mostly a mixture of light and dark sides.

In her book and articles, Susan Higginbotham struggles against

the villfication of Margaret of Anjou through history and I think that´s

an important contribution.

However, in ´´Queen of Last Hopes´´, Higginbotham accomplishes that by

on the contrary, picturing her great enemy the Duke of York as a cardboard

villain, who was after the throne from the beginning and even

wanted to kill King Henry VI and Queen Margaret for that.

I think, that is not historically right.

That´s why I wrote a letter to Mrs Higginbotham.

See for that letter below.

But first will I take you to a journey to history, by telling

something about the Wars of Roses, the major players

and the causes.

I warn you

It is a long piece of reading

But realize, that it is a journey of 500

years ago and that takes time.

Go with me on the journey.
