Henry VI was weak and feeble, but his wife Margaret of Anjou, 'a great and strong laboured woman', became a formidable political force in her own right. The dynastic struggle that became known as the Wars of the Roses brought the usurpation of Edward IV, the humiliation and exile of Margaret, and the murder of Henry in the Tower of London.
