Natalie Grueninger speaks with Lacey Bonar Hull about women of the Wars of the Roses
Tune in to hear Natalie and Lacey discuss:
– The political landscape of 15th-century England
– Key players of the Wars of the Roses
– The role women played during this tumultuous period
– Some prominent women, namely Margaret of Anjou, Margaret Beaufort & Elizabeth Woodville
– Lesser-known women of the fifteenth century
– The relationship between women and power
– Challenges associated with writing about women from the past
Thank you – this was a fascinating episode which I plan to listen to again. I am intrigued by the reference to new work being done around the Princes in the Tower as well as the relationship between Richard III and his sister Margaret of Burgundy. Are there any resources you could direct me to in order to learn more? Thanks again, Barbara
