Welcome to the first episode of the podcast, which I have shared here on Substack.
Estelle Paranque is the author of a groundbreaking new dual-biography of Elizabeth I and Catherine de Medici, powerful contemporaries one of which took her power from being a virgin, the other from being a mother. We talk about Catherine de Medici's tragic but fascinating life and the relationship between her and England's Queen, Elizabeth I.
