    Episode 16: Some Castilian Context

    Before we dive into the life and times of Eleanor of Castile, wife of Edward I AKA Ya Boi Longshanks, let's get a little context on the world of women in which she grew up. EC was also a descendant of Eleanor of Aquitaine through her daughter... also named Eleanor. We'll learn more about this great-grandma Eleanor AKA Leonor, her daughter Berenguela, and why you should look out for falling tiles. This bonus episode contains a remastered excerpt from a Patreon bonus episode. To hear about Leonor's sisters Matilda and Joanna in the same episode, check out our Patreon for the full original version! ⁠⁠Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram
