✨ In today’s Parallel Lives episode, Dr. Emma and I dive into the lives of two extraordinary women—Eleanor of Aquitaine and her daughter, Eleanor of Castile. A powerful mother-daughter duo whose stories shaped medieval Europe!

⏳ Don’t forget—time is running out to join Forging a Queen, my 6-week online course on Katherine of Aragon’s remarkable life before she became England’s queen. We begin September 17th!

🎤 Looking for something shorter? The brilliant Matt Lewis will be joining us LIVE on September 27th for a 90-minute talk on why Empress Matilda couldn’t win the crown. Early Bird tickets are on sale now—grab yours while they last!
