"Top Female Historians Debate The Greatest Queens In History"

Who was the greatest queen in history? Five top female historians arrive at the History Hit debating chamber to decide.

The celebrations marking the platinum jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II present the perfect opportunity to take the long view on some of the other women who have been queen in Britain - from the 12th century Empress Matilda right through to Queen Victoria. In a lively and fascinating debate, Prof Suzannah Lipscomb, Dr Eleanor Janega, Prof. Anna Whitelock, Dr Hannah Greig and Prof. Kate Williams discuss what makes a great queen and map out some of the successes and failures of Elizabeth II's famous predecessors.

This is a free flowing conversation amongst some of our top historians, celebrating and scrutinising female monarchs - they even debate which one would be the most fun in the pub and who were the best and worst female rulers.
