The Grand Old Duke of York, he had ten thousand men. He marched them up and down the field and marched them home again. (Hum to the tune of Farmer in the Dell).
Then he totally FAFO'd, tried to take the crown of @henryvi.bsky.social and wound up with his head on a pike. It was very popular!!!!

An excellent interview with author Judith Arnopp about Margaret of Anjou and the maligning of her name during her life and long after. She did what the men were doing & fought as hard as women like Cecily Neville and Margaret Beaufort did for their families and causes. A remarkable woman and leader.

After days of upload gremlins, here it is: my poem "Aubade with Tiercel", from my collection Daughter of Fire. Filmed in the Garden of Remembrance at Tewkesbury Abbey to mark the anniversary of the battle on 4th May. I imagine the parting conversation between Margaret of Anjou and her beloved son. 💔

Yes! Yes! In fact, one of my life aims is to write a Wolf Hall-style book called "Kingmaker" that follows the four key "power behind the throne" figures of the wars: Margaret of Anjou, the Earl of Warwick, Elizabeth Woodville, and Lady Margaret Beaufort.
As a side, "Emprex" is such a cool title!

Margaret of Anjou depicted in the glass of the chapel of St Bernardin at l’Eglise des Cordeliers d’Angers.
![Margaret of Anjou depicted in the glass of the chapel of St Bernardin at l’Eglise des Cordeliers d’Angers. [Church of the Franciscans’ Convent at Angers: the older establishment, not the Baumette]. The chapel was commissioned by René to be built in 1453. [Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel ref IA49000793] Glass at the altar end depicted members of René’s family. The chapel and its glass were destroyed in 1794, but drawings had been previously made of some of the glass: this drawing (Gaignières 1386) is held by the Bibliothèque nationale de France as part of the collection of Roger de Gaignières, who assembled a large collection of drawings of monuments nation-wide during the late 17th/early 18th centuries. For more information, click the image, or see the catalogue entry. The inscriptions read:
“Cette figure est aux Vitres des Cordeliers d’Angers. Elle est de Marguerite d’Anjou fille du Roy René, femme de Henry VIe, du nom Roy d’Angleterre, mariee en 1444, morte en 1482.”
The glass is dated to the period 1454–60 [Le Roi René et la seconde maison d’Anjou, by Christian de Mérindol, Plate XLI], making Margaret 24-30 years old. At that time, Margaret was Queen of England, and unlikely to have been seen by the artist.
