Please welcome back historian Susan Abernethy to the show, and today we're talking about the backbone of the medieval Burgundian court, in short, its most formidable women.

This is an intro to this world, there is so much to explore!

Where is Burgundy? How was the Burgundian court and the Tudors connected? What language did they speak and when did this duchy lose its independence?

Susan has just written a book on this topic, published by Pen & Sword.
