Margaret of Anjou and the robber
Flight of Queen Margaret and Prince Edward. Queen Margaret of Anjou, wife of King Henry VI, fleeing into a forest after the Battle of Hexham (15 May 1464, Wars of the Roses) with her son, Prince Edward, meets a robber and asks for his protection. Astonished at their beauty he drops his sword at his feet. This legend has little basis in reality, as Margaret was not in England at the time of the battle
