Margoth was a woman in the 13th Century; a woman with no title, no assets that we know of - other than her voice, her loyalty and her ability to blend in. We don't know much about her, other than she donned male clothing and worked for Prince Edward, helping him fight simon de montfort, who had rebelled against the crown. Margoth arrived with Edward, relaying to him crucial evidence that would enable him for form a surprise attack on de montfort.

In this series of work I have responded to the 2025 folktale week prompts by creating non-fictional narrative pieces, based on this amazing woman from the middle ages.
