Justinian and Theodora
Before Kim and Kanye there was Justinian and Theodora – discover a love story for the Byzantine ages. Greg is joined by comedian Shappi Khorshandi and historian Peter Frankopan.
Forget Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Justinian and Theodora were the power couple of the Byzantine era. From withstanding riots to protecting women’s rights, how did a woman from such humble beginnings (and who did *that* with a swan…) fall in love with one of the most powerful men of the time and secure her place in the history books? Join public historian Greg Jenner, comedian Shappi Khorsandi and historian Prof Peter Frankopan.
