Welcome back to another installation in our Wars of the Roses week. We are looking at the endlessly fascinating Margaret Beaufort. In later years, she may be viewed as a bit of a controversial figure, but today we're just looking at her early years. Maggie was not only influential on her own right, but also the mother of the Tudor Dynasty (maybe you've heard of them)
