Elizabeth of Anjou was a notable historical figure born in 1430, known for her role as the Queen consort of Henry VI of England. She was the daughter of Charles VII of France and played a significant part in the Hundred Years' War by supporting her husband's claim to the English throne. As a member of the House of Anjou, Elizabeth's marriage to Henry VI in 1445 was intended to strengthen ties between England and France. She became a key player in the political struggles of her time, particularly during the Wars of the Roses, advocating for her son's rights and the Lancastrian cause.
