Parallel Lives: Mary, Queen of Scots & Ana de Mendoza y de Silva, Princess of Éboli

Parallel Lives: Mary, Queen of Scots & Ana de Mendoza y de Silva, Princess of Éboli

Two powerful women — one a queen, the other a princess — both bound by beauty, intrigue, and political peril.

In this episode of Parallel Lives, we explore the striking similarities between Mary, Queen of Scots, and Ana de Mendoza y de Silva, Princess of Éboli — two women whose lives unfolded under the watchful eyes of monarchs, courtiers, and enemies alike. Both were celebrated for their charisma and intelligence, yet their ambitions and entanglements placed them at the heart of scandal and suspicion.

Join Dr. Emma and Rebecca as they uncover how Mary and Ana navigated power, faith, and betrayal in the tumultuous courts of 16th-century Europe — and how each became a symbol of fascination and tragedy in her own right.
