Bonus! Even the Royals - Queen Christina of Sweden Sep 27, 2024

Show notes

Being a part of a royal family might seem enticing. But more often than not, it comes at the expense of

everything else – like your freedom, your privacy, and sometimes, even your head.

Even the Royals is a podcast from Wondery that pulls back the curtain on royal families, past and present

from all over the world, to show you the darker side of what it means to be royalty.

This is just a preview of Even the Royals. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, or at

Irene of Athens, Byzantine Empress Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

Queens of the World Series: Irene of Athens ruled as regent for her son, Easter Roman Emperor, Constantine VI. But when he rose up against her and threatened her religious conviction, she had his eyes gouged out. Thus she became the first Roman Empress to rule in her own right. But because the Pope did not believe a woman could hold the title, he awarded it to Charlemagne, thus creating two rival Roman empires, one in the east and the other in the West.

Queens of England Sep 17, 2024

Show notes

Episode originally aired in 2019, I have added a 2024 update.

Of the 66 monarchs who have ruled over England since the Norman conquest only 8 have been Queens. These women have had to fight to gain and hold power. Through most of English history men outranked women in the line of succession so the only way for a woman to inherit the throne was if she had no living brothers. The wives of Kings, while called Queens are not monarchs in their own right and are referred to as Queen Consorts. Some of these female monarchs who were fortunate enough to occupy the throne were less than brilliant rulers. But some reigned with wisdom and justice proving a woman could do the job just as well as a man. Here are their stories...

Matilda (1141-1148)

Jane (1553)

Mary I (1553-1558)

Elizabeth II (1558-1603)

Mary II (1689-1694)

Anne (1702-1714)

Victoria (1837-1901)

Elizabeth II (1952-2022)

Crowned Before Birth Sep 10, 2024

Show notes

Anyone who has spent time around a newborn baby knows that while adorable, they are mostly preoccupied with milk, sleep and soiling themselves and don’t exactly have the skills to govern a nation. Though some my argue that a baby might make a better head of state than a politician. Throughout history, the combination of hereditary monarchy and brutally short life expectancy meant that many rulers did inherited their thrones when they were mere infants. Some were even unfortunate enough to loose their fathers while still in the womb and be born directly onto the throne. In one case a crown was even placed on the belly of the pregnant queen and in another a 3 month old king wailed through his tedious coronation ceremony. Today we’ll meet 6 rulers who became monarchs before they even took their first breath:

King Alexander IV of Macedonia

Shah Shapur II of Iran

King Jean I of France & Navarre

Ladislaus the Posthumous

William III, Prince of Orange

King Alfonso XIII of Spain

Agrippina The Younger, Roman Empress Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

Agrippina was the great granddaughter of the first Roman Emperor, Augustus; the grand niece of the second Emperor, Tiberius, the sister of the third, Caligula, wife of the fourth, Claudius and mother of the fifth, Nero. After several personal tragedies, Agrippina became ruthless in her pursuit of security and power. As a woman, she couldn’t rule herself, so she manipulated and murdered her way into the Emperors bed; then secured her own son’s place on the throne. Only to have him turn on her and order her elaborate assassination.

Royal Olympic Athletes Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

Every 4 years the Olympics draws the very best elite athletes from around the world to it’s host city. The games attract many other elites as well. From its origins in ancient Greece, to it’s modern revival in 1896, the Olympics has long been closely associated with royalty. There have even been a handful of Princes, Princesses and Kings who’ve made their way onto the field of competition as Olympic athletes. A few have even won gold, silver or bronze medals to go with their golden crowns. From a Spartan Princess who became the first female Olympic champion at a race she wasn’t allowed to watch; to games designed for Emperor Nero to win. And from a Gold-winning Greek sailor to silver-clenching British equestrians, and a bronze decorated handball player who won the heart of a princess. Plus two Princes who started their own winter sports teams so they could chase Olympic glory. Let’s meet the royals who have practices and purchased their way into Olympic history!
