Back to 14th century France for this week's episode, which focuses on one of the biggest scandals in Medieval Europe. Two wives of French princes, the daughters-in-law of the French King, are caught having affairs with a pair of Norman knights. Was it really true, or was it just an attempt to discredit the princesses? Were they victims of a wider political scheme?
