Wondering what Penelope Featherington's life would have really been like as a "spinster?" What about newlywed Kate Bridgerton as a married woman? Or how about Lady Danbury as a widow? In our final episode of Beyond Bridgerton we speak with author and historian Charlotte Furness about the real lives of married, single and widowed women in upper class Britain during the Regency period and compare them to their Bridgerton counterparts. We explored what it really would have been like to look for husbands on the marriage mart, live an independent life like ambitious Eloise Bridgerton and how women lived through scandal and heartbreak in Georgian society. Through examples from her book Lady of the House: Elite 19th Century Women and Their Role in the English Country House, Charlotte chats with us about women in history who were instrumental in running estates such as Lampton Hall,  Belvoir Castle and Shibden Hall and reality vs fiction of depictionsof these upperclass women in period dramas and historical fiction. Don't miss this exciting chat as we head into season 3 of Bridgerton!    Check out Charlotte Furness: Website: https://www.charlottefurnesswriter.co.uk/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@CharlotteFurnessWriter   Also, we're now on Youtube, subscribe for more period drama content!   Listen to the Regency Rumours Podcast!

In our latest podcast episode, we break down the first three episodes of Disney+’s historical drama A Thousand Blows. The series, created by the makers of Peaky Blinders, features Malachi Kirby as Hezekiah Moscow, Stephen Graham as the formidable bare-knuckle boxing champion Sugar Goodson, and Erin Doherty as Mary Carr, the cunning leader of the infamous all‐female criminal gang, the Forty Elephants. In this episode we dive into the dangerous world of Victorian London, where we explore the lives of working class thieves and boxers, trying to survive in a world that's trying to keep them in their place. Then, we explore the history of the 40 Elephants, whose reign lasted longer than Al Capone's.    Also, we're now on Youtube, subscribe for more period drama content!

In the next podcast episode, we break down the final three episodes of Disney+’s historical drama A Thousand Blows. We explore the dangerous underground world of boxing in Victorian London, where we talk about bare knuckle boxing and the lives of real boxers like Hezekiah and Alec, who were risking their lives in and outside of the ring. We also look into Mary's budding relationship with the rising boxer and our speculation for adventure in Season 2.  The series, created by the makers of Peaky Blinders, features Malachi Kirby as Hezekiah Moscow, Stephen Graham as the formidable bare-knuckle boxing champion Sugar Goodson, and Erin Doherty as Mary Carr, the cunning leader of the infamous all‐female criminal gang, the Forty Elephants.
