France is in ruins. Normandy has fallen to the English, and the rest of the kingdom is being ripped apart by civil war between the Burgundians and Armagnacs. In the midst of this chaos, Queen Isabeau of Bavaria faces an impossible choice. With the crown crumbling and enemies on every side, she makes a decision so shocking, it could change the fate of France forever. This is the story of a queen who dared to gamble everything—power, loyalty, and legacy—for survival.
If you want to find out more about the last English invasion of France, listen back to Edward III’s Calais campaign in season six, episode six. Plus in this week’s bonus episode, Danièle explains to Dan why Isabeau gets a bad wrap, right when she’s given the power to save the kingdom.
