| Summary | "Margaret of Anjou" by Jacob Abbott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Margaret of Anjou, a significant historical figure who was the queen of Henry VI of England, and explores the tumultuous events during her life amid the wars of the houses of York and Lancaster. Through her story, the book sheds light on the political and personal challenges faced by Margaret and the broader implications of her actions in the context of English history. The beginning of the book establishes an intricate backdrop of the political rivalry between the houses of York and Lancaster that characterized Margaret's lifetime. It introduces her as a heroine embroiled in military exploits during a tumultuous period in 15th-century England. The early chapters outline the historical context, touching upon the major conflicts, including the power struggles of the English monarchy and the ongoing tensions with France. This sets the stage for further exploration of Margaret’s life, her marriage to Henry VI, and her remarkable role within the broader spectrum of English history.
