In Her Words: Thus Bestowed On Me the Name of Sophia

In the last episode we learned about Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, and in that episode there was reference made to her daughter Sophia.

But, as noted by our last guest Professor Dr Nadine Akkerman, this book is written as satire, and should be taken as such.
