Descrizione Memoir Of Margaret, Countess Of Richmond And Derby (1874)
Memoir of Margaret, Countess of Richmond and Derby is a biographical work written by Charles Henry Cooper and originally published in 1874. The book tells the story of Margaret Beaufort, a prominent figure in English history who was the mother of King Henry VII and a powerful political and religious figure in her own right. Cooper's memoir explores Margaret's life from her early years as a wealthy heiress to her marriage to Edmund Tudor and her subsequent role as a key player in the Wars of the Roses. The book also delves into Margaret's philanthropic work, including her founding of St. John's College, Cambridge and her patronage of various religious organizations. Throughout the memoir, Cooper provides a detailed and intimate portrait of Margaret, drawing on a range of primary sources to paint a vivid picture of this remarkable woman and her impact on English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
