Sobakina, 15 Days Tsarina
Another wife of Ivan the Terrible, another mysterious death. Are we sensing a pattern here?
After the suspicious deaths of his first two wives, Ivan IV is back on the marriage market! This time, he chooses 19-year-old Marfa Sobakina, a young woman from Novgorod, as his third bride.
But Marfa's reign as Tsarina of Russia lasts just 15 days before she suddenly dies. Was she accidentally poisoned by a fertility potion? Was there something more sinister going on? And how many people would pay the price for Ivan's paranoia?
Join Katy for the tragically short story of Ivan the Terrible's third wife, a royal bride whose mysterious death only fueled her husband's increasingly violent behavior.

I feel the same about New Orleans! I’m not big on American history cus it just doesn’t go back very far and I like traveling outside the country but ya New Orleans feels like Europe it’s a magical place ❤️❤️❤️
LOL! Sorry to say, I feel the same way. My hubby’s from Burnley, Lancashire & LOVES them. I’ve tried, even as a kid, but just can’t do it. LOVE other things though. And I ❤️ this podcast series! Thanks for doing it.
