imagines she had an exceptionally active sex life. Margaret of Anjou appears in Philippa Gregory's series The Cousins' War, most notably in The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory (2011), narrated by Jacquetta of Luxembourg, but also in The White Queen (2009) and The Kingmaker's Daughter (2012). Margaret of Anjou is the main character in Susan Higginbotham's 2011 novel The Queen of Last Hopes – a sympathetic portrayal. Margaret of Anjou is a major subject in Stormbird and Bloodline, the first two books of Conn Iggulden's trilogy about The Wars of the Roses. She also is the subject of a fictional biography, The Royal Tigress by a fictional character, David Powlett-Jones who is the main subject of To Serve Them All My Days, R. F. Delderfield's novel of a Welsh schoolmaster at a Devon public school from World War I to the Battle of Britain in the 1940s. Delderfield, in the person of Powlett-Jones, appears to have a very good grasp of Margaret's life and the Wars of the Roses, and the content and development of the book give us an entertaining sub-plot to the book's main narrative. In the television series The White Queen (2013), based on Gregory's The Cousins' War novels, Margaret of Anjou is portrayed by Veerle Baetens. She is also depicted in the German historical novel Das Spiel der Könige (The game of kings; covering the period 1455–1485, from 1st St Albans to Bosworth Field) by Rebecca Gablé. In 2020, Philippa Stefani portrayed Margaret of Anjou on the cast recording of A Mother's War, a musical based on the Wars of the Roses.
