British History: Royals, Rebels, and Romantics

Caroline of Brunswick might be the most fascinating woman we never talk about! Her life was full of accusations of scandals, trials for adultery, accusations of illegitimate children--and she was barred from her own coronation. Author, historian, and podcaster Ann Foster brings us into the world of the Regency to explore the life of a powerful and overlooked woman, Caroline of Brunswick.
