CONCERNING PROPAGANDA IN HISTORICAL WRITING AND

HISTORICAL VIEWS ON THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN POLITICS

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.

But that aside.

HISTORICAL VIEWS ABOUT WOMEN, INVOLVED

IN POLITICS:

SUSAN HIGGINBOTHAM’S CONTRIBUTION

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,

not only out of

historical accuracy, but because she points out

the medieval ( and also later) demonization of women,

who dared to participate in politics, which was considered

as ”men’s affairs’, especially armed struggle.

Were those women, who participated in politics, saints?

Of course not, they were hard, but not harder than the men

involved.

That’s the point here.

Higginbotham’s contribution is, that she raises this

important point.

HISTORICAL ACCURACY

SUSAN HIGGINBOTHAM

However, of importance is to take a historically balanced stand

and there comes my criticism.

In her book ´´Queen of Last Hopes´´, Higginbotham

Higginbotham accomplishes her

crusade against the exaggerated negative role of Margaret of Anjou 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 the following link, scroll to below in the link.

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

But to get more information about the causes of the

Wars of Roses and the major players, I take you

to a journey to the past.

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.
