	Review: Margaret of Anjou: Queenship and Power in Late Medieval England
		The principal thesis of the book is that Margaret's response to the failure of her king's authority and the need to exercise some form of power on behalf of the Lancastrian dynasty was striking, not because it transgressed gender expectations, but for the extent to which the queen endeavoured to live up to them.
		Maurer's important study of Margaret's gift-giving indicates that the queen was careful to signal that she favoured Somerset and York equally in the early 1450s and that Somerset only began to rise in her favour after he had increased his influence with the king.
		Because Margaret, as a woman with no official political role, could not be party to the formal settlement of recompense for St Albans, the Loveday procession was a crucial opportunity to involve her in the demonstrations of reconciliation that both she and the king desired.

		In 1445, Margaret crossed the Channel and was married to Henry at Titchfield Abbey in Hampshire.

		Margaret was disappointed with Henry, she thought he was going to be chivalrous and strong like Suffolk.
		Although Margaret was instrumental in the War of the Roses and a strong influence over her weak husband, Shakespeare has taken considerable liberties in creating her character to be more evil, more conniving, and more powerful than she actually was.
		Margaret did not necessarily influence the King as much as Shakespeare depicts; however, she did in fact try to become Queen herself.
