The First Emancipated Duel (Part 1‪)‬ Bustles & Broadswords

    • History

It's a first episode! And we're starting (very) strong and ~scandalous~ with a duel that has remained legendary...the duel between a Princess and Countess at the end of the 19th century that was allegedly fought...topless?! As we follow the story of how exactly Princess Pauline von Metternich ended up in this situation (or not), we encounter queer vibes, fashion, ridiculous duels, operas, and an alarming amount of plot-relevant flowers.

Season 1 of Bustles and Broadswords will update weekly throughout June/July 2022. Tune in every week for a new episode!
