[00:05.00]1953, a coronation fit for a King[00:10.00]But it's a young Queen[00:11.00]who's about to be crowned.[00:13.00]And the crowd roars its approval[00:17.00]The fact that she's a woman attracts no comment[00:20.00]and she will go on to reign over us for six decades[00:25.00]But England's Queens haven't always been greeted with such adoration.[00:31.00]The first woman who sought to be crowned Queen in her own right[00:35.00]here in Westminster,[00:36.00]800 years earlier,[00:38.00]received a very different response[00:41.00]She wasn't met by cheering crowds[00:44.00]Instead, she was chased away from the capital by an angry mob[00:51.00]That's because throughout our history[00:54.00]women and power have made an uneasy combination.[00:58.00]Never more so than the Middle Ages[01:00.00]when a King was a warrior who had to fight to win power[01:05.00]then battle to keep it.[01:09.00]But despite everything that stood in their way,[01:12.00]a handful of extraordinary women did attempt to rule Medieval England[01:18.00]This series is about the Queens[01:21.00]who challenged male power[01:23.00]and the fierce reactions they provoked.[01:28.00]When they pursued power like Kings,[01:30.00]these royal women were criticised and condemned[01:33.00]Most graphically of all,[01:34.00]they've been vilified as She-Wolves[01:37.00]These are the stories of the She-Wolves of England.[01:41.00]And to explore them is to realise just how far we've come,[01:45.00]and how little has changed.
