QUEENS AT WAR England's Medieval Queens, Book 4

History as complex as that of 15th-century England, including the ending of the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of the Roses, requires a clear voice and precise diction. Esther Wane provides exactly that. This audiobook chronicles the lives of five queens--from Joan of Navarre, queen of Henry IV, through Anne, queen of Richard III. Wane works hard to concentrate on the women despite the tendency of the battling men to take center stage. The story bursts into life with the arrival of Margaret of Anjou, the warrior queen, wife of the ineffectual Henry VI. Not for her the endless listing of jewels, robes, and feasts. Margaret strides off the page and into battle; her bravery and adventures were extraordinary. S.H.H. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
