A year later she endured a traumatic birth that brought her and her son close to death. She was just thirteen years old.<br><br>As the battle for royal supremacy raged between the houses of Lancaster and York, Margaret, who was descended from Edward III and thus a critical threat, was forced to give up her son she would be separated from him for fourteen years. But few could match Margaret for her boundless determination and steely courage.
