#margaretpole came from a strong resilient family. She was a #Plantagenet by birth, her father being George Plantagenet (of Malmsey wine fame). This made #edwardiv and #richardiii her uncles. 1/5
I'm on book 6 of Philippa Gregory's Tudor/War of the Roses series. I am loving it! She does a great job of immediately pulling me into each one, and I find that reading these helps me remember the actual events when I read nonfiction. #booksky #margaretpole #kingscurse
