Margaret had survived the dangers of her son’s birth. She had helped protect him during the years that followed, and risked her own life to conspire on his behalf against Richard III. In promoting her son as king, she had sacrificed her own superior claim to the throne. […]  In the post-Reformation England of the seventeenth century Margaret’s spirituality came to be judged mere superstition and her i n t e l l i g e n c e and t o u g h n e s s of character were regarded with equal suspicion. […] That Margaret was responsible for the princes’ deaths is a theory becoming fashionable again and remains linked to cultural p r e j u d i c e s. Margaret’s support for her son had been construed as those of an obsessively ambitious mother, yet for her generation she was fulfilling a d u t y. She was honour bound to help him regain his rightful inheritance, and later to help him restore the House of Lancaster, into which she had been born.
