Vulgar History

Women Behaving Badly, part 2: She Poisoned Her Enemy In Jail (Rerelease)

90 min • 20 december 2023

This week is a re-release of season 1, episode 2 of Vulgar History, telling the scandalicious saga of OG tits out icon/ our patron saint, Frances Howard.

This rerelease includes a new edit of the original recording and a bunch of new updates about Frances, two other people ALSO called Frances Howard, what is Bobby Duds doing in this narrative, and: Lettice Knollys! I also reassess Frances's score on the Fredegund Memorial Scandilicious Scale.
