Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury

This second episode in this series about Women In Towers And the Assholes Who Sent Them There is the season’s second Margaret. Margaret Pole was just about as royal as you could be back then without being an actual royal. She worked hard to restore her family’s name, but it didn’t help literally every male relative was constantly doing treason around her.
