Historian of the medieval period, Helen Castor, presents an in depth and insightful series covering England’s early Queens, from the High Middle Ages with Eleanor and get daughter-in-law Eleanor of Aquitane, through the Late Middle Ages with Isabella of France and Margaret of Anjou and finishing with Lady Jane Grey, Mary I and Elizabeth I.

The series has also been made available on DVD:
