Linda Porter & Sophie Shorland: Forgotten Queens

12 Oct 2024

12:00 - 13:00

Ilkley Playhouse

Think you know your royal history? Think again. Meet Margaret Tudor, elder sister of Henry VIII and mother to James V of Scotland, whose dramatic life laid the groundwork for a future British state. And Catherine of Braganza, Charles II’s long-overshadowed wife, who we have to thank for popularising trousers for women, Baroque art and music, and – perhaps most long-lastingly – tea drinking. Join authors *Sophie Shorland * and *Linda Porter* for a fascinating discussion of the royal women who historians have consistently overlooked, and come away with a new understanding of our past.
