Janet McTeer absolutely killed it as Jacquetta of Luxembourg!

@alessa. Месяц назад

Indeed

Sorcery ? Yeah, you're only calling it sorcery because you cannot control Edward.

She took that trial down with three words: Margaret of Anjou. lol.

This is truly brilliant. Jacquetta knows that Warwick is dependent on Margaret of Anjou at this point. Both through politics and military standpoints. He won’t be able to oppose her in trial because of this. This gets her acquitted later

Aside from threatening Warwick, calling upon "Queen" Margaret of Anjou was a genius move. Calling upon her Lancastrian origins and reminding the court of her continuous Lancastrian loyalties despite being the Yorkist King's *mother-in-law* and *grandmother to the heir presumptive* throws a wrench into any allegations that she wanted Elizabeth to be the York Queen. It conveys the impression that she disapproved of the union from the start, and had she been a witch, she would've used her witchcraft to tear their union apart in its early days. Tore all his arguments down in one fell swoop.

Jacquetta witnessed the marriage of her daughter Elizabeth Woodville to King Henry IV in a secret ceremony on Walpurgis Eve. That is not something that would have been popular with most prospective mothers-in-law of that era. While this doesn't prove anything, it does at least suggest that "orthodoxy" didn't unduly trouble Jacquetta, and that she was more than capable of participating in rites considered then - and now - to be witchcraft.

Jacquetta was just iconic in this scene.

The mothers were so important back then. The experience and advice. The connections they made at court

@queenesther09 4 месяца назад

Such satisfaction seeing that smug, self-righteous confidence wiped off Warwick's face at Queen Margaret's name. Must have been a nasty shock to realize there was a witness he couldn't bribe or threaten into supporting his vendetta.

She killed this role

Many might wonder "Why would Margaret of Anjou protect and even save Jacquetta of Luxemboug, the mother of the woman who had repleced her as queen?" Well, the answer is rather simple - Margaret and Jacquetta were close, very close. Their bond is not just of friendship, it is also by kinship. Before Margaret of Anjou became queen, Jacquetta was the highest ranking woman in England - above both Eleonor, Duchess of Gloucester and Cecily, Duchess of York. Margaret's uncle Charles IV, Count of Maine was married to Isabelle of Luxemboug, sister to Jacquetta. In the Lancanstrian court, Jacquetta was Margaret's closest friend and confidant.

okay but wouldn't that change when Jacquetta betrayed her?

@ameliaflynnhayes Год назад

Who can see where Elizabeth got her strength from.

Pretty sure every queen’s mother was accused of witchcraft.

Jacquetta was commonly thought to be a melusine. I refer you to "Melusine," by Jean D' Arras, or, it's more modern mutation in the 1960 movie, "Night Tide." It is not at all unlikely that Jacquetta participated in what was then - and now - considered witchcraft. She witnessed her daughter Elizabeth Woodville marry King Edward IV on Walpurgis Eve in a secret ceremony. That is not the action that would meet with the approval of most prospective mother-in-laws in that era.
