Summary

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.
