DAIĻĀ MARGARETA Raiders Hegardsno angļu valodas tulkojusi R. Koka«Daiļā Margareta»,  ir viens no  labākajiem šā žanra darbiem. Par romāna darbības fonu rakstnieks izvēlējies 15. gs. pēdējo ceturksni, kad Anglijā un Spānijā norisinājās sīva cīņa starp absolūto monarhiju un feodālo sadrum­stalotību. Anglijā, ko bija galīgi novājinājusi divu feodāļu dzimtu — Lankasteras un Jorkas — ilgstoša un asiņaina cīņa, kura iegājusi vēsturē kā Sarkanās un Baltās Rozes karš, pie varas nāca jauna karaļu dinastija — Tjūdori. Jaunās dinastijas nodibinātājam Henrijam VII, kura valdīšanas sestajā gadā norisinās romāna darbība, izdevās nostiprināties uz troņa un sekmīgi cīnīties pret feodāļiem. Kaut gan romāna darbība norit galvenokārt Spānijā, Hegards veiksmīgi attēlojis arī vēsturisko situāciju tālaika Anglijā. Galvenais varonis — Pīters Broums — ir nabadzīgs tāpēc, ka viņa tēvs, būdams karaļa Ričarda III piekritējs, kritis kaujā pie Bosvortas, kurā uzvarēja Henrijs Tjūdors. Hegards ļoti īsi, bet precīzi rak­sturo Henriju VII — viņa nedrošo stāvokli tronī, cenšanos uzturēt draudzīgas attiecības ar Spāniju.
