    War Queens

    Game of Thrones and Fast & Furious actor Nathalie Emmanuel presents: Every week father-daughter team Jon and Emily Jordan examine the incredible stories of history’s most powerful female battle leaders, the brilliant methods and maneuvers history’s “killer queens” used to defend themselves and their people from enemy forces—and both father and daughter find out something about each other and how each generation appreciates these incredible women. From ancient Persia to modern-day Britain, experience the daunting thresholds these exceptional women had to cross and the clever, sometimes violent ways in which they smashed obstacles in their paths.

    History’s killer queens come in all colors, ages, and leadership styles, and from countries and cultures around the world. Elizabeth Tudor and Golda Meir played the roles of high-stakes gamblers who studied maps with an unblinking, calculating eye. Angola’s Queen Njinga was willing to shed (and occasionally drink) blood to establish a stable kingdom in an Africa ravaged by the slave trade. Caterina Sforza defended her Italian holdings with cannon and scimitar, and Indira Gandhi launched a war to solve a refugee crisis.

    Boudica: A Battle to Echo Through Ages Feb 13, 2023
    Show notes

    Whipped, then forced to watch her daughters raped in her village center, Boudica, Celtic queen of the Iceni tribe of Britons, vowed revenge on the Romans who violated women and children. Leading a mass revolt of British peoples who had been driven from their lands by Emperor Nero’s invaders, Boudica fought three Roman legions and burned London to the ground. Cutting a swath of destruction across southern England, she chased down the main Roman army and set the stage for a battle that would echo through the ages.


    Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Boudica.

    Tomyris: Quiet Diplomat & Hardcore Savage Jan 17, 2023
    Show notes

    Queen Tomyris led her hard-riding, hard-fighting Massagetae horsemen one of the ancient world’s fiercest battles—against one of history’s greatest superpowers. Using quiet diplomacy and hardcore savagery, Queen Tomyris leads her people up against the might of the Persian Empire and its legendary founder, King Cyrus the Great. Her battle, documented by the Greek historian Herodotus, the “Father of History,” is one of the earliest recorded battles of a woman commanding armies against a king. Her fight would become the stuff of legends.

    Caterina Sforza: Survivor, Executioner, Fighter Jan 10, 2023
    Show notes

    Bride at 10, widow at 25, general, tyrant, cosmetologist, mother, countess, botanist, and war leader, Countess Caterina Sforza di Riario led the most interesting life of any woman of the Italian Renaissance. Trained to fight by a powerful Milanese warlord, she learned that a Renaissance woman’s duty is to support her husband – whether in the home, or by providing medicines to peasants during the plague, or galloping on horseback to take command of a castle. She aimed cannons from the battlements of Rome and cowed cardinals into recognizing her husband’s legal rights. She survived assassination plots, executed traitors, and fought papal armies led by the Borgia pope’s son, Cesare. Mingling with da Vinci and Botticelli, out-negotiating Machiavelli, Caterina defined the woman warrior leader of 15th century Italy.

    Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Caterina Sforza.

    Tamar: Lion of the Caucasus (AKA Georgia on My Mind) Dec 27, 2022
    Show notes

    In a scene out of “House of the Dragon,” an elderly king appoints his young daughter to rule his medieval realm after his death. But the beautiful, pious, and wise Queen Tamar would find her claim to the Kingdom of Georgia challenged by nobles, religious leaders, courtiers, sultans—and the most annoying ex-husband in history. Waging war on her borders while setting an example of mercy and restraint, Tamar’s armies fought with sword, spear and shield to expand her kingdom and usher Georgia into its golden age of wealth, literature and stability.

    Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Tamar.

    Show notes

    Queen Artemisia of Caria joins the world’s biggest empire in a legendary campaign to wipe out the rebellious cities of ancient Greece. In a council filled with men, she gives sound advice and strategic insight, which the men leading the coalition rejected. When Artemisia’s advice was not heeded, she dutifully led her fleet in the sea battle that would decide the fate of the world – and pulled off one of history’s most audacious escapes, earning the admiration of the Father of History.

    Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Artemisia.

    Catherine The Great: Philosopher Warlord Dec 13, 2022
    Show notes

    In one of history’s delicious ironies, the abused wife of a psychotic drunkard turned into a tiger who destroyed her oppressor. Catherine the Great launched a palace coup from atop a war horse and wrested the throne of Imperial Russia from her incompetent husband. For 33 years, she shepherded the world’s largest empire through a time of enlightenment and revolution, a time when French philosophies she embraced brought down monarchs and threatened her rule. Skillfully leading Russia through wars with the Ottoman Empire, Sweden, Poland, and a mob of embittered peasants, Catherine alloyed lofty principles of the Enlightenment with an iron fist. Her brilliant tactics would be studied and copied by dictators like Stalin and Putin in the 20th and 21st centuries.

    Margaret Thatcher: The Grocer’s Daughter Fights Back Dec 06, 2022
    Show notes

    "Margaret Thatcher takes the reins of Her Majesty’s Government and leads Britain through a time of economic depression, threats of nuclear annihilation, and political restlessness. Within months of her becoming Britain’s first woman prime minister, she faces down Irish Republican Army terrorists and stands up to Soviet communism. Her mettle meets it test of wills when Argentina launches a surprise invasion of the Falkland Islands, one of the last vestiges of the British Empire. Counseled by men to take the insult and let the islands go, Thatcher is determined to face down aggression. She sends an army to the far side of the world, through terrible winter storms, to take back a land belonging to her queen – and earns the nickname “The Iron Lady” for her courage.

    Golda Meir: You’re Never Too Old to Fight Nov 29, 2022
    Show notes

    At nearly 75, a Jewish grandma named Golda Meir made critical military decisions as she led the young nation of Israel through the Egyptian-Syrian surprise attack known as the Yom Kippur War. Brilliantly playing a three-dimensional game of diplomatic chess, Golda triangulated the battlefield, superpower détente, and long-term peace prospects to bring Israel out on top of a two-front war. Golda’s decisions not to strike first, to refuse the use of nuclear weapons, and to end the war on terms Egypt’s president could accept without losing face led to a lasting peace between Egypt and Israel and changed forever the history of the Middle East.

    Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Golda Meir.

    Indira Gandhi: A War to Save Millions Nov 22, 2022
    Show notes

    Indira Gandhi led the world’s largest democracy when war broke out on two sides of her country in 1971. She climbed a slippery political ladder to become India’s first female prime minister as her homeland emerged from uncertain days of independence to take its place as a power in South Asia. Facing a humanitarian crisis on her border, confronted by enemies in Pakistan and China, and despised by an American president, the yoga practitioner from Kashmir fused military might with diplomatic skill as she sent modern armies to liberate Bangladesh from a repressive Pakistani government.

    Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Indira Gandhi.
