🎧 Becoming a Queen in Early Modern Europe
Archive of Dan Snow's History Hit 🎧 • 41m
In Early Modern Europe, Queens did not come fully formed. Rather, a series of rites, rituals and ceremonies transformed a hesitant bride into a fully fledged monarch. And beneath all of these contracts and customs were real live women, their emotions running high as they left behind their birth families and embarked on an exciting and terrifying journey into a foreign land to marry a stranger.
In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Dr. Katarzyna Kosior, to look at what it meant to become a Queen particularly in two interconnected dynasties - the Valois of France and the Jagiellonians of Poland.
The Senior Producer on this episode was Elena Guthrie.
The Producer was Rob Weinberg.
It was edited by Seyi Adaobi.
