A king was a warrior who literally fought to win power |
| [00:05.31] |
then battled to keep it |
| [00:07.27] |
Yet despite everything that stood in their way |
| [00:11.33] |
a handful of extraordinary women did attempt to rule medieval and Tudor England |
| [00:18.94] |
This series is about the queens who challenged male power |
| [00:22.92] |
and the fierce reactions they provoked |
| [00:26.30] |
When they pursued power like kings |
| [00:28.21] |
these royal women were criticised and condemned |
| [00:31.36] |
Most graphically of all,they'd been vilified as She-Wolves |
| [00:35.98] |
These are the stories of the She-Wolves of England |
| [00:39.22] |
and to explore them is to realise just how far we've come |
| [00:42.67] |
and how little has changed |
