Join us as we explore the love stories of the past.

Uneasy Lies the Spouse that Wears the Crown: Trouble in Paradise...

On this episode, we’ll be talking about the many royal couples that didn’t have a happy ending. Their Happily Ever After seemed to have an expiration date.

Please welcome Sharon Bennett Connolly, Heather R Darsie and Amy McElroy back on the podcast as we learn more about the couples today.

Sharon gives us a teaser on the Henry IV of England/ Mary Bohun relationship that we will cover in the future episode... But for what it's worth, Henry and Mary's love story did end tragically...

On this episode, we’ll talking about:

• Enguerrand de Coucy and Isabella of England (Sharon Bennett Connolly)
• Philip the Handsome of Burgundy and Juana of Castile (Heather R Darsie)
• And Henry VIII and Katharine of Aragon (Amy McElroy)
