EDITORS COMMENTS
Margaret of Anjou: A Devout Queen in 15th Century England This evocative tapestry depicts Margaret of Anjou, the queen consort of King Henry VI of England, in a moment of deep prayer. Daughter of Rene, Duke of Anjou, Margaret's regal presence is accentuated by the elegant company of her ladies-in-waiting, who stand attentively behind her. The scene unfolds in the grand St Mary's Hall in Coventry, a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the royal court during the 15th century. Margaret of Anjou (1430-1482) was a formidable figure in British history. Born in Sicily, she was raised in the French court before her marriage to Henry VI in 1445. Her reign as queen consort was marked by her strong support for her husband and her unwavering commitment to the Lancaster cause during the Wars of the Roses. This tapestry offers a glimpse into the social and historical context of Margaret's life. The intricately woven fabric captures the rich textures and colors of the period, from the luxurious fabrics worn by the queen and her ladies to the ornate details of the tapestry itself. The scene of prayer underscores Margaret's piety and her role as a devoted wife and queen. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to the court of Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou, a fascinating era of British history marked by political intrigue, power struggles, and the enduring strength of a queen who defied the odds to maintain her position and influence.
