A king was a warrior who literally fought to win power
then battled to keep it
Yet despite everything that stood in their way
a handful of extraordinary women did attempt to rule medieval and Tudor 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'd 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
