For over seventy years a woman steadfastly helmed the ship of modern Britain. As we move on from the second Elizabethan age, let’s stop to consider the queens throughout history who never were

**'A fantastic, feminist dance through history.' - Julia Quinn

What queens would England have had if firstborn daughters, not firstborn sons, had inherited the throne?

We may think of princesses as dutiful and elegant, wearing long flowing dresses, but the eldest daughters of England’s kings have been very different.

Political intriguers. Abducted nuns who demanded divorces. Murderers.

It’s time we rediscovered the politicians we lost, the masterminds we see negotiating nunneries not armies, the personalities shining brilliantly even hundreds of years later: the queens who should have been.

Let’s meet them.

EMILY MURDOCH PERKINS is an historian and author with a varied career to date: from medieval manuscripts to researching documentaries to marketing, and now, historical non-fiction. She lives with her supportive husband, eats more cheese than is good for her, and is attempting not to buy another sword.
