## Resource

Today, I am joined by award-winning historical fiction author Roja Gaston to discuss her novel on Margaret of Austria — daughter of Maximilian I, aunt to Charles V, and one of Renaissance Europe’s most powerful women. Together, they explore Margaret’s remarkable life: her early betrothal to the French king, her marriages to Juan of Spain and Philibert of Savoy, her role as regent of the Burgundian Habsburg Netherlands, and her lasting legacy as a political force, diplomat, patron, and survivor. They also discuss Margaret’s connection to Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, her famous motto — “Fortune, misfortune fortifies one” — and how her resilience shaped both her life and Gaston’s novel.
