This week, we're looking at the fascinating lives of medieval queens and princesses, royal genealogy, and Queenship Studies! We talk with two historians: Dr. Ellie Woodacre, Researcher from Winchester University and host of the "Royal Studies Podcast," and Susan Abernethy, creator of "The Freelance History Writer" blog. We also hear how co-hosts Briar and Edward found distant links to Iberian royals, disprove the notion of "blue blood," and learn why, if you have medieval European ancestors, it's likely some of them were royal.
