Join us this month and explore the love stories of the past.
This February we're sharing our chats to various historians and covering all the ways that Royals can come together, be it through arranged marriage, secret engagements or chance meetings.
Strange Bedfellows..
On this episode of our Valentines Series, we’re looking at couples, where the couple didn't take to each other and in the world of Royal Tinder, it resulted in a Swipe Left kind of situation. Let's see how these couples tolerated each other's forced presence in their lives: today we talk about Empress Matilda & her hubs Geoffrey of Anjou, Henry VIII & Anna of Kleves, Mary Queen of Scots & her second (but not last) hubs Lord Darnley, and
Catherine the Great & Peter III.
How do I Loathe Thee? Let Me Count The Ways...
We’ve invited historians Chris Riley, Clemmie Bennett, Leah Redmond Chang and Catherine the Great (sorry, Catherine Curzon).

Our favourite book of Catherine's when it comes to the Georgian era; it covers most of the courts of Europe and connects the royal dots in most surprising of ways. P.S. If you love your Romanovs or Marie Antoinette, this is a must!
