• Notes

  Margaret of Anjou (Marguerite d'Anjou, March 23, 1429 – August 25, 1482) was the Queen consort of Henry VI of England from 1445 to 1471, and a major protagonist, heading the Lancastrian contingent, in the Wars of the Roses. Margaret was born in the duchy of Lorraine, an Imperial fief east of France that was ruled by the cadet branch of the French kings, the house of Anjou. Margaret was the daughter of Rene I of Naples, Duke of Anjou, King of Naples and Sicily and Isabella, Duchess of Lorraine in her own right. Margaret married King Henry VI, who was eight years her senior, on April 23, 1445, at Titchfield in Hampshire. Wiki
