Herstory

In today’s episode I spoke to the wonderful Dr Gabby Storey about one of England’s forgotten Queen consorts, Berengaria of Navarre, Queen Consort of King Richard I. This was an episode where I learnt a lot! Berengaria is an interesting figure and should be highlighted more often!

In her play, Laura hopes to challenge some well known myths about Jane. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to Laura and learning about her play.
