Tonight on Ancient History With Harry, we journey into the quiet but fascinating life of Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter, the forgotten sister of Edward IV and Richard III.
Born into the powerful House of York, Anne lived through one of the most dangerous and dramatic periods in English history: the Wars of the Roses. Her life was shaped by royal ambition, family loyalty, political conflict, and two very different marriages, first to Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter, and later to Thomas St Leger.
In this gentle history for sleep, we explore Anne’s place within the Plantagenet family, her connection to the Yorkist kings, and the world of castles, courts, noble households, and shifting alliances that surrounded her.
Close your eyes, get comfortable, and drift into the story of a royal woman history nearly forgot.
