There are two Queens Consort particularly connected to the history of the Medieval Palace at the Tower of London; Eleanor of Provence and Eleanor of Castile. Although less famous than other queens, these women are emblematic of how medieval queenship could perform and embody power in the 13th century. To find out more, Curator Charles Farris is joined by Professor Louise Wilkinson. Today marks the third and final episode in a mini-series to celebrate the reopening of the Medieval Palace at the Tower of London. Read more about the life of Eleanor of Provence.
