Long may she reign

Killers of the Flower Moon has brought the world's attention to one of the most vile murder cases in American history, and at the center of it all was Mollie Kyle-Burkhart. Mollie would have grown up in the traditional way of her Osage ancestors, but by the time she was an adult, her family was wealthy, and she lived in a big home with white servants and with a white husband. Mollie lost all of her family members during the reign of terror, and I can't imagine what it must have been like to go through something that horrible. On today's episode, we get into her story of resilience.

If I had an award to give out for the messiest Queen of England, I’m sure Isabella of Angoulême would be in the running. Isabella started out as a young child heiress in France and had the unfortunate experience of being married to bad King John. It gets worse from there. Come join me this week to hear her crazy story.

Happy Black History Month everybody. To kick off this month I wanted to start with a story of one of my favourite African queens Yaa Asantewaa. Yaa Asantewaa was not born to be a leader but when her brother appointed her to the important position of queen mother it thrusted her into a world of complicated politics and a war against the British. Today she’s remembered in the modern nation of Ghana as a hero and I’m so excited to present her story this month. Come join me to learn about this badass gun wielding queen on today’s episode.

Very recently, I’ve become obsessed with the HBO TV show the Gilded Age and it has led me to a new appreciation for this time. And what a better way to explore it, then to talk about the queen bee of the Gilded Age Caroline Astor. Caroline set the standard for gilded age New York society and she had to be petty to keep society the way she thought it ought to run. Join me on my season, premiere and learn about the fascinating life of Caroline Astor.

Malinche’s name is synonymous with betrayal. She has been called all sorts of names throughout history, but does she really deserve such a bad reputation? Malinche was a slave girl sold to the Spanish as they arrived in Mexico, and when they realized she had a talent for languages, she was an instrumental tool in the takedown of the Aztec empire. Malinche was lucky to have a decent amount of agency for her situation, but it’s also important to remember she was a teenage girl who had no idea what the long-running consequences of her actions would be. Join me to learn about the incredible story of the translator La Malinche!

Many people are familiar with the stories that come out of the Hundred Years War, like the heroism of Joan of Arc or the battle of Agincourt, but few know the story of the queen of four kingdoms who helped France win the war. Yolande was born the daughter of the king of Aragon and, over her life, was the unofficial queen of four nations. As a teen, she was strategically married off to the Duke of Anjou, but despite being Spanish, she became a full-blown Francophile and was key to the continued survival of the French monarchy.

Many people have never heard of Sarah Winnemucca, but they really should have. Sarah was born amongst the Paiute people at a time when Americans were flocking west by the thousands and causing lots of issues for Native Americans. Sarah’s family sought out a strategy of being kind and helpful to settlers coming west, and as a child, she performed shows to teach settlers about her culture. Despite much hardship as an adult, she would go on to lecture and write about her people and was one of the first Native American women to write an autobiography.

We’re back at it again entering the Tudor era. However instead of discussing women married to Henry VIII it’s time to discuss the women unfortunate enough to be related to him. Margaret was Henry VIII older sister and a force to be reckoned with.
