Agnes Sorel: The First Royal Mistress and Her Scandalous Legacy.
Today on Queens podcast, we revisit a cursed episode from 2021. We are having another look at the controversial life of Agnes Sorel, the official mistress of King Charles VII of France.
We'll get into the scandal of her life along with a conspiracy theory or two. This is also a great time to revisit our episodes on Isabeau of Bavaria or Yolande of Aragon too!
The episode explores whether there was a conspiracy to install Agnes as a political tool and covers her humanitarian efforts, fashion impact, and her untimely death under suspicious circumstances.
