Notorious Women of the Middle Ages July 19, 2012

This fun and fact filled course will look at the bad girls of the Middle Ages, women who gained a reputation of being notorious through their determination to live their lives in the way they chose, or who were determined to do what they thought was right, to the detriment of those around them! Eleanor of Aquitaine is the only woman to have been married to both the King of France and then the King of England. And what a life she led them both! Isabella, known as the She Wolf of France, is said to have murdered her husband in XXXX. Margaret of Anjou fought for the throne of England for her son, despite all odds and making enemies wherever she went. Lastly, Joan of Arc, after saving France for the French in 1430, was tried by the English for heresy and witchcraft and burnt at the stake in 1431. Details of this event may be subject to change.
