She was 23 when she had Edward of Westminster (1453-71).

Battle of Wakefield, near Sandals, Yorkshire was in 1460; Margaret was merely 30.

Cover art for Lucy Heuschen's debut poetry collection DAUGHTER OF FIRE. Due out 13th April from Yaffle Press. Anna Saunders calls Daughter of Fire "a book of immense heat and power, not 'just' in the subject matter, but in the fierce and searing voice of a gifted and courageous ppet. This is extraordinary writing and a must-read book."

Grateful to #NHS #NHSFife for the excellent treatment delivered to my OH at #QueenMargaret hospital yesterday. He was really nervous but felt so safe, well informed and fully supported throughout his procedure. He didn't have to wait long for the appointment either. Well done 👍
