Margaret Beaufort

Wicked Women: The Podcast - A podcast by Grace Beattie

Categories:

For many years Margaret was almost forgotten by history, overshadowed by her larger-than-life descendants. In recent years, she has made a comeback in popular media, but this rediscovery of the true founder of the Tudor dynasty saw the resurfacing of some of the worst rumors about her life. Many interpretations choose to focus on her ruthless ambition, and the work of Phillipa Gregory revived a theory that she was to blame for the death of King Edward IV’s sons, now known to history as The Princes in the Tower. Margaret’s true story is far more interesting and compelling than any fiction.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
