Blood, Thrones, and Emma of Normandy

Blood, Thrones, and Emma of Normandy

In this episode, Rebecca Larson uncovers the extraordinary life of Emma of Normandy—a woman who defied the limitations of her time to become Queen of England not once, but twice. From child bride to political powerbroker, Emma navigated Viking invasions, shifting allegiances, and royal rivalries with unwavering determination. As wife to both Æthelred the Unready and King Cnut, and mother to two future kings, her influence shaped the English monarchy during one of its most turbulent eras. Discover the woman behind the crown—and why her story deserves to be remembered.
