Summary

Margaret Pole, Pt. 1: The Last Plantagenet Standing Birthright, backstabbing, barrels of wine, missing princes, and a marriage meant to keep her head attached. All in the early life of Margaret Pole.

This episode only brings Maggie into her 20's and she lived a very long life (especially for the times), so this will certainly be a multi-part series! See y'all for part 2.
