Henry VIII is famous for his six wives, but what about the women
who almost wore the crown? In this episode, we explore the
stories of six women Henry considered marrying but didn’t:
Eleanor of Austria, Mary of Guise, Christina of Denmark, Anna of
Lorraine, Amalia of Cleves, and Katherine Willoughby. Discover
the political intrigue, diplomatic negotiations, and personal
dynamics behind these nearly-queens, and how their stories reveal
another side of Henry’s reign.
