Coming from modest beginnings in Savona, Liguria, the family rose to prominence through nepotism and ambitious marriages arranged by two Della Rovere popes, Francesco della Rovere, who ruled as Pope Sixtus IV ( 1471 – 1484 ) and his nephew Giuliano ( Pope Julius II, 1503 – 1513 ).

The Renaissance saw the continuation of interest in magic that had been found in the Mediaeval period, and in this period, there was an increased interest in Hermeticism amongst occultists and ceremonial magicians in Europe, largely fuelled by the 1471 translation of the ancient Corpus hermeticum into Latin by Marsilio Ficino ( 1433 – 1499 ).

George the Bearded, Duke of Saxony ( Meissen, 27 August 1471 – Dresden, 17 April 1539 ), was duke of Saxony from 1500 to 1539.

Edward IV ( 28 April 1442 – 9 April 1483 ) was King of England from 4 March 1461 until 3 October 1470, and again from 11 April 1471 until his death.

Henry VI ( 6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471 ) was King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and disputed King of France from 1422 to 1453.

As such, she was Queen consort of England from 1445 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471.

It was she who called for a Great Council in May 1455 that excluded the Yorkist faction headed by Richard, Duke of York, and thus provided the spark that ignited a civil conflict that lasted for over thirty years, decimated the old nobility of England, and caused the deaths of thousands of men, including her only son Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales, at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471.

By the time Margaret, her son and daughter-in-law were ready to follow Warwick back to England, the tables had again turned in favour of the Yorkists, and the Earl was defeated and killed by the returning King Edward IV in the Battle of Barnet on 14 April 1471.

The Earl of Warwick, who had been dispatched by Margaret to England to restore King Henry to the throne, succeeded in this task but was defeated and killed in battle ( battle of Barnet, April 1471 ) a few months later.

The throne of England was temporarily restored to Henry VI ; on 14 March 1471, Edward brought an army back across the English Channel, precipitating the Battle of Barnet a month later.

When Edward invaded England in 1471, not many common people openly celebrated his return.

When Edward launched his campaign to retake England, Clarence accepted his brother's offer of pardon and rejoined the Yorkists at Coventry on 2 April 1471.

Even so, by 4 January 1471, Charles had agreed to support the King-in-exile in regaining the English throne, and this renewal of friendship between the two men was followed by Edward visiting Margaret at Hesdin until 13 January, the first time the pair had seen one another since Margaret's departure from England.

The family provided England with three kings: Henry IV of England, who ruled 1399 – 1413 ; Henry V of England, who ruled 1413 – 1422 ; and Henry VI of England and ( II of ) France, who ruled 1422 – 1461 and 1470 – 1471.
