Margaret of York that year allowed her to be spared the grief of Philip's untimely death of typhoid fever in 1506. William Caxton, who introduced the new art of printing into the Kingdom of England and was a staunch Yorkist supporter, counted Margaret as one of his patrons. A presentation copy of "Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye", the first book printed in the English language (late 1473 – early 1474), has a specially made engraving showing Caxton presenting the book to Margaret. The volume is now in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. This "patronage" may be more advertising than analogous to
Iliad earth and realistic eyewitness accounts of the Trojan War written by Dares and Dictys Cretensis, who were supposedly present at the events. These late antique forged accounts formed the basis of several eminently popular medieval chivalric romances, most notably those of Benoît de Sainte-Maure and Guido delle Colonne. These in turn spawned many others in various European languages, such as the first printed English book, the 1473 "Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye". Other accounts read in the Middle Ages were antique Latin retellings such as the "Excidium Troiae" and works in the vernaculars such as the Icelandic Troy Saga.
