This week on the pocast, Michaela and Alex discuss the role of queens through the Middle Ages - both what they were supposed to do as well as what was expected of them. They draw connections between the Middle Ages and the present to show that, while the relevance of the royals may not be as important to the running of society as it was in the Middle Ages, they still play a very important role.
