I want to make it easier for you to get my content in the way you prefer, so I’ll be releasing most of my YouTube videos here on the podcast feed as well. Let me know if you like the format!
In this mini episode, meet Margaret Paston, the 15th-century Norfolk matriarch who juggled lawsuits, sieges, and so much family drama—all while writing letters that have survived for over 500 years. We’ll look at her incredible story through her surviving correspondence: managing estates while her husband was away, getting caught in violent local feuds, and battling her in-laws in court.
It’s a snapshot of medieval life—and one woman’s fierce determination to hold it all together.
