Elizabeth of York brings the drama on her road to becoming Queen of England. She married Henry Tudor, AKA Henry VII, after the War of the Roses, but did they actually love each other?Grab a glass of bubbly as we dive into what could easily be a plot line in Game of Thrones, which is Elizabeth of York’s life. You might want to get comfy in preparation for this one because a lot of Elizabeth’s family gets #NedStarked.Rife with political in-fighting, betrayal, murder, and long periods of refuge in ‘sanctuary.’ This George R. R. Martin-esque tale’s silver lining is after years of being a political pawn and simply trying to survive, Elizabeth of York’s tale ends about as happily as you could ask.Elizabeth of York’s story includes: Multiple familial murders Absolute political drama (War of the Roses) Secret engagement A love-to-hate antagonist we refer to affectionately as Uncle Dick (Richard Duke of Gloucester, Richard III) It pairs best with the Rose May (Heyyy) Sangria ([00:02:30] for the recipe).Must listen Moments:[00:38:00] (Louis the 11th)... was always starting sh**, always like making alliances with somebody's enemy. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so, unsurprisingly, it turns out he had other marriage alliances going on for his son. Once Edward (IV) caught wind of it, he was just like, we don't need him. We'll find you someone better. And like cut ties.[00:42:00] Uncle Dick and the new young King have Elizabeth Woodville's brother arrested and executed. He also has Lizzie's older half-brother executed.[01:11:00] Then (King Richard III) was stabbed, and his crown rolls off and it, like, basically rolls into a bush, right By Henry Tudor (King Henry VII), who then just puts it on. Like, nope, this is how this works. It's mine now, b****. And then Henry becomes the last king of England to become king by conquest.Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.

Today we will be discussing the life and legacy of Queen Lili'uokalani of Hawaii. Born on September 2, 1838, Lili'uokalani was the last reigning monarch of Hawaii. She was the first queen to write her own music and composed the most famous Hawaiian song, Aloha Oe. After her brother, King Kalakaua, passed away in 1891, Lili'uokalani assumed the throne and sought to restore power to the Hawaiian monarchy. She was successful in introducing a new constitution, but her efforts were thwarted by the U.S. government which sought to overthrow her and annex Hawaii as a Territory. Queen Lili’uokalani was then deposed and arrested in 1895. She was pardoned in 1896 and spent the rest of her life advocating for Hawaiian independence. Queen Lili'uokalani was a powerful symbol of Hawaiian sovereignty, and her legacy still lives on in the music, culture and politics of Hawaii today. Thank you for tuning in, and we hope you’ve enjoyed learning about Queen Lili'uokalani.-----------------------------------You can find the full show notes here: queenshistorypodcast.com/queen-liliuokalani-of-hawaiiQueens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.

Victoria Woodhull would eventually go on to be the first woman to run for president in the United States, but how did she get started? Would you believe if we told you that by the time she ran for president she was already a retired child psychic? Yup, the Spiritual movement of the late 19th century played a huge part in the young presidential hopeful. But, it wasn't all great Vicky. But it was always interesting. Today we discuss the early years of this trailblazer and sip on a nice rum cocktail called the President. Head here to see all three episodes! Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.
