Further Reading

One of the reasons Margaret of Anjou continues to be so maligned by novelists and 

even some writers of nonfiction is that much of the material that is available about 
her (especially online) is out of date or based on dated or discredited sources. Happily, 
a body of careful research about Margaret is slowly growing. Here are some recent 
books and articles about her and her family:
