Absolutely Disgusting Fate of Poland’s Most Hated Queen

Poland's parliament knelt and begged their king to abandon his wife. He refused, they crowned her, and five months later she was dead at 27. This is the full story of Barbara Radziwill, the most hated Queen of Poland, and her secret marriage to Sigismund II Augustus. Her gruesome illness had the whole court blaming poison and pointing at his mother, Bona Sforza. We also cover the love letters, the funeral march to Vilnius, the king who wore black for 21 years, and the sorcerer hired to summon her ghost. It ends in 1931, when a flood gave her back.
