Historical Women Spill the Tea - 4

Updated: Jun 3, 2024

Welcome to our hilarious and historically dubious series, where I've exhumed some fierce ladies from the Wars of the Roses era for an exclusive text interview. LOLs through history? Absolutely. These medieval powerhouses have their gauntlets typing furiously as they dish out complaints about life, love, and the utter nuisance of hubbies with more ambition than sense.



Heartstrings and Court Intrigue with Jane Shore

Moderator: Jane, your love life has been the subject of much speculation and intrigue. Can you give us any juicy details?

Jane 💋: Oh, where to start! Love in the court is like dancing on a tapestry of razor blades—thrilling but perilous. My heart, though often whispered about in the dim corners of the court, beats fiercely for those who have dared to dance with me amidst the shadows. Love here isn’t found in grand gestures, but in stolen moments and secret glances that speak volumes. Yet, remember, in this snake pit of power, love must be as cunning as it is passionate. #HeartOfACourtLady


A Royal Reflection with Elizabeth Woodville

Moderator: Elizabeth, any revelations after your time as queen?

Elizabeth 👸: Reflections? Well, I’d say never underestimate the power of a well-timed smile or frown at court. It’s all about the subtleties, the unspoken games of chess played at every banquet. And, perhaps, finding a good hiding spot for those secret love letters. 😉 #QueenlyWisdom


The Ups and Downs of Wearing the Crown

Moderator: What were the toughest and most rewarding parts of being queen?

Elizabeth 👸: The crown is a mixed bag, like a box of chocolates with some fillings you don’t like. The hardest part was navigating the court drama and backstabbing, knowing any trip could put my family in jeopardy. The sweet moments? Bonding with my subjects, making a difference, and watching my children grow in a world that I had a hand in moulding. #RoyalRuminations


Remember, readers, this is all in good jest. These women certainly aren't laughing from their portraits—but imagine if they could text! Stay tuned as our 'interviews' might just include more timely complaints from timeless women through the scrolls of history. 😂 #MedievalTexts #TimeTravelTalks
