On this episode, Mark welcomes Dr Elisabeth Norton to the pod to discuss her latest book, 'Women Who Ruled The World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy'. Mark and Beth discuss what is considered as monarchy, what it means to be a ruler and some of the more unknown female monarchs from history. Discussions range from ancient rulers throughout pre-modern, early modern and modern monarchs, including Maria Thersea, Isabella I of Castile, Mary I of England and more.
