The New Murrey and Blue blog

There are two articles in this series about Queens’ College, Cambridge. The first covers the college’s early history and can be read here and the second, which covers the later medieval period, is available here here 

The college received its name because no fewer than three 15th-century Queens of England became its patrons. Margaret of Anjou was the first, then Elizabeth Woodville and finally Anne Neville. Then Margaret Beaufort had a hand in matters as well, but she of course was never a queen. She might as well have been, but the crown never actually graced her head.

Being from Country Life, both articles contain magnificent illustrations.
