Welcome back to Queens Podcast's Wars of the Roses week. Today we're spilling the (trauma) tea on Elizabeth of York. You may know her as the first Tudor Queen, but in this episode we're going over her life during the Wars of the Roses and her part to FINALLY END THE WAR! (tho not quite yet) Rife with political in-fighting, betrayal, murder, and long periods of refuge in ‘sanctuary.’ This George R. R. Martin-esque tale’s silver lining is after years of being a political pawn and simply trying to survive, Elizabeth of York’s tale ends about as happily as you could ask. Elizabeth of York’s story includes: Multiple familial murders Absolute political drama (War of the Roses) Secret engagement A love-to-hate antagonist we refer to affectionately as Uncle Dick (Richard Duke of Gloucester, Richard III) It pairs best with the Rose May (Heyyy) Sangria ([00:02:30] for the recipe).

We are so excited to venture to the East to dive into Korean politics and just the bananas royal family that Empress Myeongseong married into. Queen Min really won our hearts over with her love of books, learning, and tried to move her people into the forward-thinking future. The downside? She had a father-in-law from hell!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to Re. Welcome back to season 5! We are SO excited to show some respect to the one and only Queen of Soul... Aretha Franklin! Aretha Franklin was one of the most iconic singers ever. But her life wasn't without drama. Raised in a very busy and religious household, Aretha first got noticed singing gospel, but it wasn't until she made her move to pop in the 1960's that she really started to turn heads. And in a serious way! Franklin rose to fame with her iconic rendition of "Respect" (which, fun fact: is actually a cover) and then went on to have a decades-long career as one of the most renowned vocalists of all time. Throughout her career, she recorded over 40 albums and won 18 Grammys. We paired our lady of soul with a Soul Kiss cocktail that we think you're going to love.

Irene of Athens was the Byzantine empress who ruled from 797 to 802 AD. And guys, she was brutal. She was born in Athens, Greece and married Emperor Leo IV at a young age. That marriage wasn't great. The two had opposing religious views in a time and place where that wasn't something most relationships really ever got past. After his death, she became regent for their son, Constantine VI. However, you could say that she was never exactly going to be winning any Mother of the Year awards. However, she is remembered as a fierce lady. Her legacy as a powerful female leader continues to inspire today. Grab a cocktail and tune in to learn more! Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.
