Many thanks for this fascinating podcast on Margaret of York. I also viewed the Channel 4 documentary, by the end of the show I felt certain that a single episode of 'History and Coffee' is of far greater value to those of us wishing to discover more about the Medieval & Tudor period. Also, I agree, the Margaret of York Crown is a stunning piece of work.

She was a very fascinating woman. A lady ahead of her time. 🤍🌹I know its historical fiction but I loved Joanne Whalley's portrayal of this remarkable individual in The White Princess. I feel Joanne embodied what a true powerhouse Margaret was. 💥 I just recently discovered this channel and I thinking,"Where has it been all my life?!" Many educational and interesting episodes and discussions about some of my favorite historical figures and time frames. Over this very lengthly holiday break I have nearly finished all episodes. Heather, your channel is so AWESOME!! Wishing you and everyone a very happy new year!! I hope to hear more great programs in 2024. ❤🎉

Hi Heather, thank you for the video. Suggestions, don’t want to put you to work but how about a tour of the Tower of London, with your commentary. Same with Hampton Court, Westminster Abbey ( my personal choice would be a private tour so I didn’t have to peer through thousands of others). Or a boat ride pointing out where the old palaces were. Richmond, Greenwich etc. just suggestions. 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

[@jessicarupard4767]

I would totally be behind this! My whole vacation eventually to the UK is based wholly on history(much to my family’s dismay…😅) but I would totally do this!!!!

[@Angie2343]

One of Edward IV's darling little girls was named after her.

[@deborahbrottmiller2948]

That was very interesting

[@sarawallace6696]

As a quick note: Antony Woodville was not Margaret of York’s brother in law. He was Edward IV’s brother in law.

Loved this episode, I didn't know much about her, so thanks Heather 😊❤

[@sugarfalls1]

Read the article about her on Wikipedia. I think it even has more information about her background and life! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_of_York

[@Chipoo88]

Your pronunciation of era is correct!

[@gafls3151]

Merriam Webster says "eer-ah" is the predominant American English pronunciation... 😊.

[@robinturner1138]

It was very interesting, nevertheless, It sounded like you were just reading material instead of explaining significance of certain actions she took. I really enjoy when you point out a different viewpoint or factor.

[@betttrbeth]

Lol. My daughter is a Swiftie too.

[@ladyagnes9430]

She was a devout......Catholic. Back then it was Catholics in the west & Eastern Orthodox in the east.

[@tonibarrone854]

Very interesting video. Did Margaret have kids?

[@vanessareagan3497]

No. She was unable to have children. She was a great support and advisor to her stepdaughter Mary of Burgundy after the death of her husband Charles the Bold. Mary of Burgundy named her daughter after her stepmother.

[@Chipoo88]

I watched the channel 4 documentary and I am not at all convinced. For so many reasons, the main one being immense Richardian biased shown through a well-made documentary that was very unbalanced, allowing. I room to be challenged

[@hteysko]

The thing that really got me was how there are simple explanations for all of the things that they think are open and shut proof. Yes, of course he signed the paper Richard R, because he was claiming to be Richard. Of course Margaret supported him, she wanted to stir up trouble in England. Of course there was a seal - he was claiming to be the king. Of course the clerk wrote that the transaction was for the son, because that's what he was told, and probably didn't know who it was either way. Like, how many people who are accountants today go back and verify that the people they are writing receipts for - several layers down from where the decisions were made - really check that stuff out? They are told, "write a receipt for this," and they do. It's not like they go out and investigate it. I loved the reaction: "so this is proof of life!" Um - it's proof that an accountant wrote a receipt for something they were told to write a receipt for. Proof that Edward is alive? That's a bit of a stretch. So yeah, I was unconvinced. But I am allowing room to be persuaded otherwise once I sit with it more, and read more about it.

Didn't come here for a 5 minute commercial. 😅
