Who was Yolande of Aragon, you ask? Only one of the most fascinating women in history.She was the Duchess of Anjou, Countess of Maine, and Queen of Naples. But she was more than just a political figure. Yolande was known for her intelligence and strategic thinking, often advising her husband and sons on matters of state. She was also a patron of the arts and a keen supporter of the poet Christine de Pisan. But perhaps Yolande's most interesting role was as a rumored practitioner of the dark arts. Some historians have suggested that she dabbled in witchcraft, using her powers to help her family in times of need. Whether true or not, Yolande of Aragon is a woman worth knowing.Some sources: https://www.monstrousregimentofwomen.com/2019/08/yolande-of-aragon-queen-of-four-kingdoms.htmlhttps://thehundredyearswar.co.uk/yolande-of-aragon/https://www.monstrousregimentofwomen.com/2023/07/violant-of-bar-queen-lieutenant-of.htmlhttps://olivialongueville.com/2021/08/13/yolande-of-aragon-her-mother-as-a-role-model/ https://www.unofficialroyalty.com/columnists/emily-mcmahon/yolande-of-aragon-ceo-of-france/----------------------------------------------------------------Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.
