Henry was oblivious to their son' s arrival, but Margaret had good reason to be jubilant. With the heir to the throne in her arms, she discovered, just like Isabella before her, that she had a direct stake in the power play that surrounded her. The question now was how far she would go in using it. The answer wasn' t slow in coming. Just three months after her son' s birth, a wellinformed observer in London reported that the Queen, desires to have the whole rule of this land as well as the right to appoint all other officers that the King should make. Margaret was proposing that she should act as Regent for her helpless husband. This dramatic piece of selfassertion was the first step on a road that would eventually lead to Shakespeare' s lacerating portrait of Margaret as the " Shewolf of France". But, if we look behind the caricature, there was much more to Margaret' s position than unthinking aggression. |
