Survivor. Rebel. Conspirator. Mother and grandmother of kings. Margaret Beaufort was one of the most remarkable and influential women of the Middle Ages. Married at twelve; a mother and widow at thirteen; Margaret rode the vicissitudes of the Wars of the Roses, and two further marriages, to see her only child ascend the throne of England as the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Join historian Lauren Johnson as she brings Margaret Beaufort vividly and memorably to life. Signed copies of her latest book will be available after the talk.
