Book Description
Margaret of Anjou was Queen of England during the period known as the War of the Roses. As a fifteen year-old bride she had many difficulties to face. She brought no dowry to her adopted land, which was still at war with her native land. Not least of all, her husband was reluctant to come to her bed. With a weak and ineffective king on the throne, rival parties tilted for power. When the struggle escalated into war, Margaret realized she had no choice but to suppress the feminine side of her nature in order to protect her feeble-minded husband and helpless son. Leading her party, dictating policy, dealing with foreign princes, she became, in fact, king in all but name.

Book Description
The fourth and final book of the Something Red series, Douglas Nicholas once again sweeps readers into the mystical world of battle as familiar favorites, such as the mystical Irish queen Maeve and her granddaughter Neiman, defend themselves against supernatural forces in thirteenth century England and Ireland. Wrapping up the series Kirkus Reviews dubbed “a more profound Harry Potter for adults,” Three Queens in Erin continues the dark and suspenseful adventures of Hob, Jack, Maeve, and Neiman in this thrilling historical fantasy. Thirteenth-century England and Ireland are vividly brought to life as dark magic and bloody battles test the strength of family love and loyalty, revealing the secrets behind Maeve and her families long exile from their tribal lands. With Maeve finally returning to Ireland to fight the three queens of the Norse Gaels for her ancestral lands and the revelation of how Hob becomes the great warrior Robert the Englishman, readers are reminded that magic exists in the enchanting prose of Douglas Nicholas.

Book Description
This book, Lives of Reigning and Consort Queens of England: Englands History through the Eyes of its Queens, is a factual narrative on lives of Norman, Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart, Hanover, and Windsorqueens covering a millenium of English History. The biographical portraits start at the close of the Dark Ages with the Norman Conquest of 1066, and continue to Modern Time in the life of present Queen Elizabeth II. This narratiev of fifty short chronologicalbiographies gives a view ijnto life and courtly customs from an age far removed from the present toward the way of life we know today. Through the lives of these women, one sees Englands history unroll. Although the narratives are brief, they bring individuals to life withoutjudgmental prejudice as unique personalities. One of the fifty personalities, 7 were reigning queens, 38 were queen consort wives of moonarchs, and 5 were wives of favorites who did not reign, but who played a significant role during the life of a ruling king. This sample of wo0men on the throne, or close to the throne is too large to expect any single quality can characterize them all: Some served as exemplary reigning queens, or as consorts whom actively supported a sovereign husband or son. Some assertively played the part of regent as a significantr power behind the throne. Some infliuenced historic events forr eliegious reasons. Many avoided political involvement, but ahd great influemnce on culture and custom. Some had personal qualities that made them inherently interesting and desetrving of friendship. A relatively small number of the queens were entirely unsuited to be queens. Some queen consorts resisted familiarity and remain enigmatic effigies. Some were apwns manipulated by historic events of the time and deprived them of opportunity to elave a personal mark of hsitory. Others served chiefly as supportive mothers and wives.
