We Found Love Right Where We Are: Arranged Love Blossoming

On this episode we’re looking at the Royal Couples, who were brought together by an arranged marriage. Despite this, they found love and comfort in the union. We have great historians with us today. Darren Baker, Sharon Bennett Connolly and Heather R Darsie.

The couples in question saluted today will include:

• Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence (Darren Baker)
• Henry IV of England and Mary de Bohun (Sharon Bennett Connolly)
• John II of Castile or Juan de Castilla the Second & Isabel of Portugal (Heather R Darsie)
• Johann Friedrich I Elector of Saxony & Sybilla von der Marck
