    Welcome back to Queens Podcast's Wars of the Roses week. Today we're spilling the (trauma) tea on Elizabeth of York.

(tho not quite yet) Rife with political in-fighting, betrayal, murder, and long periods of refuge in ‘sanctuary.’ This George R. R. Martin-esque tale’s silver lining is after years of being a political pawn and simply trying to survive, Elizabeth of York’s tale ends about as happily as you could ask. Elizabeth of York’s story includes: Multiple familial murders Absolute political drama (War of the Roses) Secret engagement A love-to-hate antagonist we refer to affectionately as Uncle Dick (Richard Duke of Gloucester, Richard III) It pairs best with the Rose May (Heyyy) Sangria ([00:02:30] for the recipe).
