Tour de Nesle affair (our first patreon episode!)
This is it: our very first Patreon episode ever 🍾 Right off the heels of our Isabella of France 2 part series from 2018.
In this loose, unhinged bonus, we spiral from Braveheart slander (sorry, Mel Gibson) into a deep dive on the infamous Tour de Nesle Affair. We break down how a few embroidered purses exposed alleged affairs between French princesses and a pair of knights, triggering arrests, torture, public executions, imprisonments, and one truly grim lesson in medieval misogyny.
We unpack who was involved, why adultery was considered treason for women, and what happened to Margaret of Burgundy, Blanche of Burgundy, and Joan of Burgundy — with plenty of dark humor along the way.
Messy history. Zero structure. Maximum vibes. Cheers, boo. 🥂
