She-Wolves: England's Early Queens - Matilda and Eleanor

Seizoen: 1 - Aflevering: 1 / 1 - Eerst uitgezonden: 07 maart 2012 - Episode ID: 621662

800 years ago, Matilda came within a hair's breadth of being the first woman to be crowned queen of England in her own right. Castor explores how Matilda reached this point and why her bid for the throne ultimately failed. Her daughter-in-law Eleanor of Aquitaine was an equally formidable woman. Despite being remembered as the queen of courtly love, in reality during her long life she divorced one king and married another, only to lead a rebellion against him. She only finally achieved the power she craved in her seventies.
