What do we know about the woman’s lot at the court of Charles II? Breeze Barrington’s new book The Graces (published by Bloomsbury) explores the lives of several women of the Stuart court. These ladies include Maria d’Este, a.k.a. Mary of Modena, consort to James VII & II, as well as those of her Maids of Honour: Anne Finch, a revered poet, Hortense Mancini, a favourite of Charles II, Sarah Jennings, future Duchess of Marlborough and of course, the future Queen Anne of Great Britain. Let’s welcome Breeze Barrington to the podcast.
