Episode 166 | Get the Red String Ready
This week’s unhinged stories feature two women largely forgotten by history.
Starting off strong, Theresa tells the story of Madame Montour, the interpreter who spoke English, German, and several Native American languages. Her work as an interpreter brokered several treaties. We have one small problem with Madame Montour – she is history’s most unreliable narrator. Follow along as Theresa lays out a myriad of conflicting sources.
Angie’s story is wildly different, as she regales us with the story of Jane Boleyn, Queen Anne Boleyn’s sister-in-law. Surprisingly, Jane’s story relates to several royal deaths. This woman served three queens in Tudor England before being sentenced for assisting Queen Catherine Howard in her affair.
