PLEASE TELL STARZ TO MAKE A SERIES ON THE LADY OF THE RIVERS JAQUETTA!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The book cover is the first time I've ever seen an attractive picture of Margaret Beaufort.
Idk Michelle’s version of her was pretty good looking mainly just cuz michelle is good looking
She's a legend such an incredible strength and resilience and I never learned a thing about her in school it's not right 🙄 had to read up about her and learn about her on my own, EVERYONE should be taught about this incredible person in school.
Back in this time period, no one cared if you had sex with a minor, like Margaret.
I watched a multipart documentary on the Wars of the Roses. The first two docs were good, but the one on Margaret Beaufort was mind blowing! The one on her gave enough background the two preceding docs were not needed and also gave a fair bio of Margaret. She was a truly amazing figure, far too unknown.
It’s so easy to love the York’s and Rivers’- gallant, beautiful, fertile, and with a claim to a water goddess. I just reread the Red Queen though and I felt for Margaret Beaufort.
I need a tv show about her too!! pleaseee make one 🙏
I wonder why Philippa Gregory doesn't wrote a book about Margaret of Anjou.
Her POV character of that period is Jacquetta of Luxembourg. Philippa sometimes emphasizes those characters ignored by mainstream history.
Margaret Beaufort is one of the most influential people in history
Typical religious zealot, Margaret Beaufort interpreted "signs from god" to suit her own dialogue.

Margaret Beaufort is my favorite character from CW and one of my favorite books in general.
I think that midwives of the period may well have availed themselves of the various herbs that aided childbirth................a good experience on the part of the mother meant more custom and to blazes with the church dictum about labour should be painful....
Phillipa Gregory has a wonderful voice. She would do awesome ASMR.
Many midwives were highly skilled. You know what determines how good a doctor is in her field? Repetition.
The more a health practitioner sets a bone, refines a nose or delivers a healthy baby, the more likely they'll be better when complications arise. Because the normal procedure is simpler after repeating it and one has more time to think about solving the crisis. So, the village's old wizened baba would be a terrific midwife. Plus, they did make tisanes, herb-steeped bandages and compresses with boiling water so they were working sorta sterile.
The fact that we have a fecund, thriving species is proof absolute germ-free conditions in childbirth might not be compulsory. (So states the germ-phobe. I'm not at all cavalier about germs, but I'm trying!)

She was 12 yrs old 😡 might have something to do with it . Forget the midwives for heavens sake .
I love all of her novels...
I am compelled to stop and point something out: she has a very wrong picture of midwives. Midwives did ALL the birthing up until in the 2 centuries, so they were the ones dealing with hard or problem birthing. They birthed children themselves and midwives wrote the first texts on problem births, such as turning a breached baby. Just because doctors have taken it over now does not mean it was always that way. Pregnancy and birth are not illnesses, so why should it be viewed as such?
Please continue to write these types of novels. Simon and Schuster, please, please have her write more. This was an excellent series of the White Queen and the continuance of that time period with all involved.
It's interesting you say she was very young, but you do not revile the age. She was 12 when she got pregnant and 13 when she had Henry
ana-marija brletic It is of course revealed in the book. :)

Unfortunately girls were married off young at the time. As for childbirth:it is most definitely not a sterile procecure ( unless a caesarian section), it is not pretty but is painful and messy whatever century one is in.And the midwives of the time did know a thing or two; they used tisanes and herbal remedies as an aid in childbirth.
IchibanOjousama ..revile..not reveal
That is why Margaret had one. Her insides were completely ruined.
So she was forced to do all this.
magaret beaufort,later tudour, stanley etc... was ambitious, but she was not a **red queen being the grandaughter of a lancastrian king yes... and later **mater rex, mother of the reigning king henry VII...
the tudours or ap tedwar family were not nobodies or peasents as is depicted, but foreign nobility.... of course magaret had early childbirth but it was common...
too debate the actual history and hearsay or propaganda, is controversial, why the books are so popular is that they review or re-review history from the female perspective, so it would be good if *there was a new series of the red queen**...
There was no red queen. This is all in Gregory's head.
Cathie Soli Yes these books are all romantic fiction ,not historically accurate in any way
She was the king’s mother. The title just comes from it sounding good. And it’s in contrast to the white queen.
Amy Lorenzo ...she's called The Red Queen (in this series) as the representative of the Lancaster line. And...as for historical accuracy, these books are a fictional telling of historical events. They are not "fiction".
Cathie Soli.....Margaret was considered the greatest hope for the House of Lancaster (the House of the red rose). The author is more likely to understand the nuances than you are.
Cathie Soli there is in history
Wow. Liz of York was team Richard III, but they made her marry nasty old Henry VII? Ewwww poor girl.
Lady Jay Mac - I know! Richard III is my favorite. 1st cousin, 16 times removed
@@plantagenetsurvivor8771 You act like that is something to be proud of. One of the things I despise about my Plantagenet blood.
Sooo let me get this straight your all for her sleeping with her uncle but marrying the rightful king and bringing peace to England was wrong ? 😅 Um ok sure support the incestuous child murdering tyrant 👍
I sort of stopped listening when she began to speak of the midwives. Midwives, the word itself is Saxon (means, 'with woman.') are women that have been the traditional birth attendants throughout history. Midwives have existed for as long as babies have been born. FEMALE attendants.
When men started coming out of the new universities for the first time, in the 1400s actually, they found themselves in competition with the midwives in Europe. For that reason, the midwives ran the risk of being accused of witchcraft and were often burned.
