1308年，年仅12岁的法兰西公主伊莎贝拉嫁给了英格兰国王，成为英格兰王后。一个世纪之后，另一个年轻的法兰西女孩儿，安茹的玛格丽特，步了她的后尘。两个女人都在不知情的情况下，被卷入了混乱暴力的英格兰战争；这两个女人，都在不得已的情况下，走出幕后，力挽狂澜，控制了最终的王权。伊莎贝拉被指控谋杀，而玛格丽特的野心足以摧毁一切。其实，她们的坚持已见和毫不动摇，这些素质在男人身上就会显得正常无比，而如果是女人表现出这些素质，就会被认为是不近人情，甚至是荒谬变态的！

1953, a coronation fit for a King. But it's a young Queen who's about to be crowned. And the crowd roars its approval. The fact that she's a woman attracts no comment and she will go on to reign over us for six decades. But England's Queens haven't always been greeted with such adoration. The first woman who sought to be crowned Queen in her own right, here in Westminster, 800 years earlier, received a very different response. She wasn't met by cheering crowds. Instead, she was chased away from the capital by an angry mob. That's because throughout our history, women and power have made an uneasy combination. Never more so than the Middle Ages when a King was a warrior who had to fight to win power, then battle to keep it. But despite everything that stood in their way, a handful of extraordinary women did attempt to rule Medieval England. This series is about the Queens who challenged male power and the fierce reactions they provoked. When they pursued power like Kings, these royal women were criticised and condemned. Most graphically of all, they've been vilified as She-Wolves. These are the stories of the She-Wolves of England. And to explore them is to realise just how far we've come, and how little has changed. |
