It’s a choose your own adventure episode and Kat chose murder!
Queen Fredegund is quite possibly one of the most ruthless, vicious and downright villainous queens you have never heard of!
From kitchen slave to concubine to queen, Fredegund’s rise to power earned her the enmity of another powerful queen in Frankia and stoke a rivalry that eventually devastated Western Europe for 40 years. In one of the most unhinged stories we have ever told on this podcast, we follow Fredegund as she gives birth in the midst of a siege, strategically assassinates her brother-in-law, plots to overthrow two stepsons and unrepentantly bullies, poisons and/or tortures anyone unfortunate enough to look upon her wrong.
And that’s all just in part 1!
Difficult Damsel’s third cohost, Anya, is also in top form this episode; insisting on making her presence known. Fredegund would be proud!
