The Backstory: Losing your head over royalty

from The Backstory with Patty Steele · host Elvis Duran Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

The Boleyn sisters were red-hot English socialites in the early 1500s. Their rise and fall, one as the mistress of King Henry the Eighth and one as his queen, was shocking even by the standards of the time. Why did a bishop call one of them the “most infamous whore of all”? How did they catch the king? And how did they lose him, along with one of their heads? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
