Queen Margaret of Anjou with son and robber

Queen Margaret of Anjou, wife of King Henry VI, fleeing into a forest after the Battle of Hexham (15 May 1464, Wars of the Roses) with her son, Prince Edward, meets a robber and asks for protection. This legend has little basis in reality, as Margaret was not in England at the time of the battle.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Margaret of Anjou, the resilient and determined queen consort of King Henry VI, is depicted in this 15th-century image, as she and her young son, Prince Edward, seek refuge in the forest after the Battle of Hexham (1464) during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses. The legend surrounding this scene, though unfounded in historical fact, has captivated the imagination for centuries. Margaret, a formidable figure in her own right, is shown here as a protective mother, shielding her child from harm. The pair's desperate plight brings them into contact with a robber, who, instead of taking advantage of their vulnerable situation, offers them his protection. This unexpected act of kindness in the midst of chaos and conflict underscores the complexities of human nature and the enduring power of compassion. The image, set amidst the verdant foliage of the forest, highlights the stark contrast between the tranquility of nature and the turmoil of the battlefield. Margaret's regal attire and the regal bearing of her son, despite their circumstances, serve as a reminder of the unwavering resilience of the royal lineage, even in the face of adversity. The 1460s were a pivotal period in English history, marked by political instability and the struggle for power between the houses of Lancaster and York. This evocative image of Queen Margaret and her son, meeting a robber in the forest, encapsulates the spirit of survival, courage, and the unexpected kindness of strangers that defined the era.
