Their story
Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, a prominent figure of the House of Plantagenet, was born at Framlingham Castle in 1320. Throughout her long life, she held significant influence and prestige within English society. Inheriting vast estates, she became a powerful landowner in her own right. Her prominence was further cemented by her distinguished service as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, a crucial role in the defense of the realm. Margaret’s life spanned a tumultuous period in English history, yet she maintained her position and standing until her passing in 1399, leaving a notable legacy for her descendants.
