Hello! I have a question.

Do you know what did Margaret of Anjou spent her time doing during her last years in France? Was she helping her family run estates, did she go hunting, or devoted her time to any hobby?

There's not much about her life after the downfall of House Lancaster...

Thanks!

Hi! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like a lot is known about Margaret's last years in France. I don't know whether that's because there's a lack of evidence or because historians haven't been looking because it's not a terribly important to English or French history, plus the associated barriers (travel, expense, language) for non-French historians. The best coverage I've found is B. M. Cron's Margaret of Anjou and the men around her and Margaret L. Kekewich's The Good King: René of Anjou and Fifteenth Century Europe

We know that Louis XI required Margaret to sign over all claims she might have to her parents' lands in exchange for 6,000 livres tournois a year. Her father, René, allowed her to live at his manor of Reculée near Angers but that she later lived at the castle Dampierre, near Saumur, along with a small household and her damsel, Katherine Vaux. We might imagine that she was acting as head of the household during that time and carrying the duties that a gentlewoman would have been expected to perform, which probably did include visiting family members (though possibly not her sister Yolande, who Kekewich notes was said to be hostile to her). We don't know if Margaret attended René's funeral in Angers after his death in 1480. We know that Louis XI required her to vest in him anything she received from her father's will. At the time of her death, the only thing of value (or of interest to Louis) she possessed were hunting dogs. This indicates that she probably did hunt - I find it tempting to imagine Margaret also taking up dog breeding as a hobby in these years too. She was buried near her parents' tombs at St. Maurice

Susan Higginbotham's novel about Margaret (Queen of Lost Hopes) depicts her visited by Jasper Tudor shortly before her death to foreshadow Yorkist defeat in 1485 as a kind of vindication for Margaret. I don't know enough about Jasper Tudor at this time to say whether that's plausible and frankly, given the way Tudor-era writers continued the Yorkist denigration of Margaret, I don't find it a satisfying or vindicating end for Margaret.

Hopefully that helps! I'm sorry there's truly not much known about Margaret's last eleven years of life.

I saw this comment "it's a company apology and not an apology from the person(s) themselves so this shit does not count 1 fuckin bit"

??? 😭 there are plenty of companies that won't even acknowledge anything happened. Its a small step but a good step! I wish people would diminish attempts made to right wrongs

honestly do these people think ateez should just cancel their tour so san yunho and seonghwa could go back to sk and make a formal apology or smth ???

i get being upset but these ridiculous demands came mostly from people who are not affected. that's what pisses me off. the same people who said "if you're not desi, just shut up" but then their next tweet is "well i'm noy desi but...." and it's followed by "we should spam kq emails and bstag" or "people need to shut up about the tour, your experience is not important bc people on the internet is trying to say smth" and even "those who are going to the fansign should sacrifice their time to address this issue directly to the boys" like oh my god you sound insane

and dude it's not like kq said "ok we heard you. we'll get back to you" they jumped into action as best they could heck they managed to get mbc to make the video private or smth but point is people can't see it anymore. the steps will not be acknowledge as long as it's not EXACTLY to what these knuckleheads demand and it's SICKENING

Ok, I got it, I will only upload pictures on tumblr, I really should not post yinyang doctrine or any complaints under rwby and bstag.

Sorry guys, it's my fault.I'm overreacting

Also, just because I support bs doesn't mean I don't like other les ships or that I'm homophobic

I really should learn to control my emotions.
