I've always been fascinated by the Lennox jewel. I think it's probably the most symbolically complex of any piece of historic jewelry. And a nice way to segue into the life of Margaret Douglas:) So now you've featured one of my trio of favorite Margarets. You mentioned you will be covering Margaret Beaufort in the upcoming Wars of the Roses women. Can I hope you will also include Margaret of Anjou?

Well, this is certainly a very interesting topic. Margaret was playing a dangerous game in the jewel’s creation that broadcasted her dreams for her descendants.

The one issue that Elizabeth probably hated the most was succession. While her sister was Queen, many groups sought to overthrow Mary to put Elizabeth on the throne. That in turn pissed off Mary who then ordered Elizabeth interrogated and eventually ordered to the tower of London. This is one of the reasons why people got sent to the tower, executed, and completely disbarred from the throne (lady Katherine Grey Seymour) during Elizabeth's reign. This is also the reason Elizabeth waited literally the last moment of her life to name James as King of England. This jewelry would have sent Elizabeth through the damn roof had she seen it.

What a beautiful and intriguing jewel this is, and a superb piece of craftsmanship! I would also suggest that, the family being Catholic, the Pelican is a symbol of Christ and Margaret would have seen this as a symbol of divine favour to the family's claim to the English throne. (There are Catholic prayers in which Christ is referred to as 'Oh Divine Pelican.' This is because pelicans were believed to feed their young with their blood, as you said, so symbolic of Christ giving his blood for humanity.) This must have reinforced Margaret's faith and given her fortitude through all of the family's tribulations. Thank you very much for a most interesting video, so beautifully illustrated throughout.
