Dr Ellie Woodacre (Joan of Navarre)


Listen Later

We talk to Dr Ellie Woodacre about one of our recently reviewed consorts, Joan of Navarre. Joan is one of England's less well-known queens but Ellie is publishing the first biography of her, so we went into more detail about Joan, how she fitted in to the complex web of European diplomacy, her status in Brittany, why she married Henry IV and even what her actual name was!

You can follow Ellie on Twitter where she is @monarchyconf and @royalstudies
