The White Duchess I The White Queen I

Born and orphaned at 3, Marguerite of Bourbon was a child when she became Duchess of Bourbon after her father fell in battle. Her regents ruled Bourbon in her name. They kept the promise that her father made on his deathbed that Bourbon mustn't join France as King Louis XI is keen on getting his hands on Bourbon.

But King Edward IV was keen on allying England with Bourbon. He proposed a marriage between his second son, Richard of Shrewsbury and Marguerite. The Duchess arrived in England. But the France isn't that keen on letting Bourbon ally with the English (given bad blood between England and France).

She got the first taste on deadly world of politics and tension. She had to navigate through the courtly life and fight tooth and nail for herself and her people.
