Eleanor Crosses

When Queen Eleanor of Castile died in 1290, King Edward I marked her final journey with twelve towering stone crosses, monuments of love, loss, and legacy. But who was Eleanor really, and what do these extraordinary structures reveal about her life and afterlife? In this episode of Heroine City, host historian, Lynsey Shaw is joined by writer and researcher Decca Warrington, author of The Eleanor Crosses: The Story of King Edward I’s Lost Queen and Her Architectural Legacy. Together, they uncover the story behind the crosses, the queen who inspired them, and why these remarkable medieval monuments still matter today. Hosted on Acast.

Murder in Miami traces the connection between the murder of a missing Miami private investigator to the sprawling roots of an international money laundering scheme as Stanford tries to make sense of his role in a surreal story of spies, smugglers, killers and corruption.
