Margaret of Burgundy (1446–1503) was a sister of Edward IV. After considerable negotiation, she was married in 1468 to Charles, duke of Burgundy, amid lavish celebrations. The marriage had great diplomatic significance in creating an alliance against Louis XI of France, and the duke gave assistance to Edward IV in 1470 when he was driven into exile. Margaret's husband was killed at the battle of Nancy in 1477 fighting against the Swiss. After Henry VII took the throne of England, she continued to support the Yorkist cause, giving refuge to both Lambert
Simnel and Perkin
Warbeck.
Caxton was in her service 1470–6.

Poor man's Burgundy is still a rich sensation; TASTING NOTES Montagny Premier Cru pleasant, fruity Louis Latour, Montagny Premier Cru, 1995, $12. Louis Latour is one of Burgundy's best-known negociant firms. Their Montagny Premier Cru, made from the Chardonnay grape, often represents a good value. The 1995 vintage has plenty of fruit and just enough acidity. There is some oak, but it doesn't overpower. The pleasantly lingering finish, or aftertaste, is especially noticeable if the wine isn't served too cold. Allow it to warm up a few degrees after taking it from the refrigerator. Enjoy this wine with fish or a meatless pasta dish. Drink it over the next year or two.
