WITH HISTORIAN AND AUTHOR DEBORAH BREZINA

Was the wife and mother of four British kings guilty of kidnapping, torture and treachery? Emma of Normandy was a central figure in the Norman, Saxon and Viking kingdoms and had as much influence on the shaping of western civilization as Queens Eleanor of Aquitaine, Elizabeth I, Victoria and Bloody Mary. Emma, Queen of England goes on trial…now.
