We've got a VERY special guest aboard the Queens ship! Greg Jenner, historian, author, and host of the BBC's You're Dead to Me, joins Katy and Nathan to discuss two of the most infamous women of the Golden Age of Piracy: Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
Mary Tudor has already lost her title, her mother, and any illusion that her father is going to come to his senses. And somehow… things are about to get even messier.
Before she became Mary I of England, the queen history remembers as “Bloody Mary,” Mary Tudor was Henry VIII’s beloved only daughter.
Eleanor of Aquitaine was Queen of France, Queen of England, Duchess of Aquitaine, mother to Richard the Lionheart and King John, and one of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages.
Before there was Dubya, there was Ann Richards the sharp-tongued, silver-haired Democrat who went from schoolteacher to Governor of Texas.
