Description
|
|
|
|
Medieval and Tudor England was built for and ruled by men; women who sought to rule in their own right were viewed with horror and vilified as "she-wolves." Yet beginning 800 years ago with Matilda—daughter of Henry I, granddaughter of William the Conqueror—a handful of extraordinary women decided they would wear England’s crown. This DVD chronicles the reigns of seven such distaff rulers: Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabel of France, Margaret of Anjou, Lady Jane Grey, Elizabeth I, and Mary I ("Bloody Mary"). This over-three-hour program is hosted by and based on the book by Dr. Helen Castor. A 16-page booklet examines women's lot in medieval England and other powerful women in history.
