Women Trapped in Towers, part 3: The Mad Queen Who Lived With Ghosts

43 min19 maj 2021

Isabel of Portugal, Queen of Castile and León, is still often referred to as "The Mad Queen." But as Taylor Swift would say, "no one likes a mad woman/ you made her like that." And in Isabel's case, the people who made her like that included her husband, her husband's EVIL advisor, and her stepson.
