<p>What really made a royal bastard, and could illegitimacy be a path to power as much as a barrier?</p><p>Dr Eleanor Janega is joined by Lauren Johnson, author of <em>Margaret Beaufort; Survivor, Rebel, Kingmaker </em>to dive into the scandalous world of medieval illegitimacy. They trace how the label of “bastard” developed, why it could upend inheritance, how an explosive accusations could turn the tables of power and how royal children born outside marriage still rose to command armies, influence kings, and reshape dynasties.</p><p>This is a story of sex, power and succession, all the good stuff!</p> <p><strong>MORE</strong></p><p><strong>The Anarchy: Disruptive Women</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-anarchy-disruptive-women/id1564113746?i=1000654826738" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7bSihsIJTKawM7LMQz6ux8?si=f65944b9d3c24891" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p> <p><strong>What Happened to the Princes in the Tower?</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/what-happened-to-the-princes-in-the-tower/id1564113746?i=1000680711739" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/21g66HdGh6KmO9stXZzfGB?si=3f9ba3faaea64471" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p> <p>Gone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Jangea.
