Jane Shore's Walk of Shame

Hey, queens! Today I’m wrapping up my mini Wars of the Roses series with one of the most infamous scandals of the era: Jane Shore’s walk of shame.

But here’s the twist… what looked like public humiliation actually turned into a brilliant PR move that made Jane one of the most famous women in England.

If this story sounds familiar, it’s because Jane Shore’s punishment later inspired Cersei’s infamous walk of shame in Game of Thrones.

Enjoy!
