Emma of Normandy, pt 2

Emma of Normandy wasn't interested in being just the king's wife. She wanted a seat at the table, but it seems like her husband, king Ethelred (the unready) had other ideas. See how our girl went from the new girl in town to a full-blown powerhouse queen in part 1 of our season 4 finale.

We've now come to the end of the story, and wow what a story it was. Empress Catherine II of Russia (aka The Great) wasn't perfect. She's complicated, contradictory but endlessly fascinating and we can't wait to tell you the rest of her story. Despite what she did there is no doubt that Catherine the Great Empress of Russia is one of the most influential women in history. Cheers!

Catherine the Great, pt 4

Catherine the Great, pt 3

Catherine the Great pt 2

Catherine the Great was actually born into relative obscurity. She was never meant to rise to much, but with a little luck (and a really pushy stage mom) this random German princess became the GREAT! Full show notes at: https://queenshistorypodcast.com/catherine-the-great-part-1Intro music by J Sparks Featuring Beyond Belief. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Licensed under creative commons by Attribution license 4.0 InternationaSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/queenshistorypodcast.
