Have you ever heard the phrase, "let them eat cake"? If so, you probably attribute the phrase to the last queen of France. The infamous Marie Antoinette. Let's get this out of the way right now. She didn't say that. The phrase actually originated from a German folk tale that predates her birth. Are we saying that she was the perfect queen though? No. Marie was not raised to rule. Brought at the Austrian court of her impressive mother, Maria Theresa, Marie should not have lacked for education. Yet, little Marie Antonia was not inclined to reading. Anyway, she was never meant to be queen of France.But, as fate would have it, the unprepared teenage Marie finds herself thrown into the French court and the political intrigue at Versaille.Marie's tale is truly heartbreaking and we wish we had better news. Either way, she's definitely made an impression since we're still talking about her to this day.Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.

Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded survived. The wives of Henry VIII, king of England are all famous, but sometimes his first queen, Catherine of Aragon can be overlooked.She was born in Spain in 1485 and was the daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who had unified Spain. She was betrothed to Arthur, Prince of Wales, from a super young age. Sadly, things did not go as planned when Arthur Tudor died after just a few months of marriage. And now the Tudors (namely, Henry VII) just didn't know what to do with their little Spanish princess.Today we pair a pomegranate-based cocktail with a fascinating princess turned Queen, Catherine of Aragon. Also, Arthur Tudor. Did they or didn't they!?Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network. Please contact advertising@airwavemedia.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

On this episode, we drink ale & talk about the OTHER Queen-B. Boudica! The woman scorned who almost took down the Roman army. The truth is that we may never be 100% sure what part of Boudica's story is legend and which part is fact. But regardless, her story has been an inspiration for thousands ever since the interest in her grew during the Victorian period.Queen Boudica lived during the time when the Romans occupied the Brittania (aka, modern-day Brittian) and was leader of the Iceni tribe. When Nero's dudes decided they didn't like a woman being in charge of a major clan, they did some pretty messed up stuff to Bouidca and her daughters. She and her people decided they had enough of Rome and nearly drove them out of their lands.Some even believe that evidence of her scorched earth (literally) tactics remains today in parts of England today. (You can read more about that here). While largely forgotten to history, queen Victoria took a shine to her and she came to be the legend that we know of today.If you like this episode you might also like these other Boudica-centric episodes from Ancient history fangirls The Other half ----------------------------Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.
