THE CONQUERESSES OF NORMANDY

From Rollo to William the Conqueror, the history of Normandy has long been told through the lend of male heroism – warlords and powerbrokers whose deeds filled the chronicles. But beyond that masculine prism, other destinies just as remarkable left their indelible mark: women who, through their daring, their intellect, and their far-reaching influence, forged the very might of the Normand world.

From Caen to Winchester, via Oxford, Bruges, and Cambridge, this two-part docudrama brings back into the light the decisive political influence of six forgotten queens, strategists, conquerors, founders and heirs of the great Norman story.

Blending spectacular reconstructions with insights from leading women historians, The Conqueresses takes us on a little-known epic journey across 200 years of medieval history – restoring these women to their rightful place, not as mere pawns in a dynastic game, but as major political players in their own right.
