Wars of the Roses Week: Elizabeth Woodville

Queens Podcast

Welcome back to another episode in our Wars of the Roses collection, leading up to season 8. Today we are continuing our conversation on the scandalous Woodville women with Elizabeth Woodville.

This episode is from 2017 so LOL at our conversation on confinement (aka quarantine, amirite?) This episode deals with all the good historical stuff. We've got a civil war, family drama, the princes in the tower, witchcraft accusations, MURDER and an introduction into the Tudor dynasty.

All while drinking malmsey wine (which Elizabeth's brother-in-law may have been drowned in)
