	Early Years
		The founders of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, chose her as the adopted patroness of the Hall because she was ever a friend to 'poor scholars' a pioneer in education, and 'as a mother to the students of both tJniversities'.
		Margaret's father, the Earl of Somerset, and his brother Edmund, like every one of note in their time, were engaged in the French wars; Somerset was taken prisoner at Bauge in 1421, and had been for more than fifteen years a prisoner of war when he at last obtained an exchange.
		Margaret took the matter seriously, being very anxious to do what was right; having the question greatly on her mind, she dreamed one night that Edmund was introduced to her by a bishop, so (being a well-brought-up child) she felt convinced that he must be the right man, and gave her decision in his favour.

	Lady Margaret
		Margaret Roos, dowager Lady Botreaux and Lady Burgh, was born circa 1431, the daughter of Thomas, 8th Lord Roos of Belvoir Castle and Eleanor Beauchamp (born 1407 at Wedgenock, Warwickshire, second daughter of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick).
		Margaret was not a rich heiress nor a young girl, had to wait for a husband, and when one came along she was in her late twenties and he, in his fifties.
		Lady Burgh would certainly have accompanied her husband whilst he was on duty at court, meeting King Edward IV and his beautiful Queen Elizabeth, Margaret having known many of the senior ladies from her service with Margaret of Anjou’s household in the late fifties.

	Tudor Relatives - Margaret Tudor, queen of Scotland
		Margaret Tudor's life was in many respects as contrary and tempestuous as that of her granddaughter, Mary queen of Scots.

		Margaret reveled in court life and enjoyed her position as princess to the full; she began a lifelong love affair with beautiful clothes, delighted in dancing and music as well as archery and playing cards.

		A daughter of the Beaufort house born on the wrong side of the blanket during John of Gaunt's prolonged affair with Katharine Swynford, Margaret was naturally a Lancastrian by blood.
		Perhaps we could say that Lady Margaret Beaufort both enjoyed and was fit for the exercise of power, both spiritual and political, and that she saw no such contradictions between spirituality and clout.
