War Queens

A bastard child whose mother was beheaded by her father, imprisoned in the Tower of London, and threatened by her half-sister “Bloody Mary,” young Elizabeth Tudor was unlikely to survive long enough to sit on the English Throne. But when she took the crown, she skillfully navigated the shoals of a divided Europe. Determined to avoid her father’s mistakes of plunging England into war with France, she found herself forced into wars in Spain, France, Scotland, the Netherlands, Ireland, the Atlantic Ocean, and the New World. Elizabeth’s management of generals and admirals would lead England into its golden age of exploration, science, literature and art: The Elizabethan Age.

Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Elizabeth I.

Indira Gandhi led the world’s largest democracy when war broke out on two sides of her country in 1971. She climbed a slippery political ladder to become India’s first female prime minister as her homeland emerged from uncertain days of independence to take its place as a power in South Asia. Facing a humanitarian crisis on her border, confronted by enemies in Pakistan and China, and despised by an American president, the yoga practitioner from Kashmir fused military might with diplomatic skill as she sent modern armies to liberate Bangladesh from a repressive Pakistani government.

Whipped, then forced to watch her daughters raped in her village center, Boudica, Celtic queen of the Iceni tribe of Britons, vowed revenge on the Romans who violated women and children. Leading a mass revolt of British peoples who had been driven from their lands by Emperor Nero’s invaders, Boudica fought three Roman legions and burned London to the ground. Cutting a swath of destruction across southern England, she chased down the main Roman army and set the stage for a battle that would echo through the ages.

Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Boudica.
