Jacquetta of Luxembourg and Elizabeth Woodville. A mother and daughter who would make history rather than allow history to be made about them. Women who took matters into their own hands no matter what befell them. They asserted their dominance in a world where female dominance wasn’t just taboo but could, and almost did, cost them their lives. Tales of divination, spell craft, and divine lineage to the river Goddess Melusine are woven around their names and charges of witchcraft were laid at their feet in the 1400s.

But are the tales true?

Join us in this episode as we untangle myth from fact in exploring the famous witches from the war of the roses.
