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).
