The story of a woman's fight to enter the political arena and influence the course of history. She leaves an indelible mark on the action, but remains one of the Bard's little known major female roles.

Margaret of Anjou is pawned off on the battlefield as bride to a victorious English king. Shipped across the channel she discovers her husband to be not a martial hero but rather a simple-minded monk... a man unfit for kingship and overwhelmed by advisors, competitors and intermittent fits of delirium.

A foreigner, she is plunged into the heart of English politics and becomes a major player in the Wars of the Roses, battling to the bitter end to maintain her husband and her only son's grip on the English crown.
