O Planalto discute com líderes aliados o envio ao Congresso de projeto para abrir à concorrência a Transpetro, braço da Petrobras que opera terminais de transporte e dutos. O objetivo seria baixar o preço dos combustíveis ao consumidor. O plano é garantir que refinarias, distribuidoras e importadores tenham acesso à infraestrutura da subsidiária. Por lei, a Transpetro teria obrigação de ceder e compartilhar essa infraestrutura, mas na prática isso não acontece.

This week, we’ll be looking at six of the women who came to England and became game-changers: Emma of Normandy, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Henrietta Maria of France, Mary of Modena, and Mary of Teck. In her own way, each of these women had an extraordinary and lasting impact on her son (or, in some cases, sons) and his rule.

Emma’s political alliances and influence helped shaped the monarchy. She also established a family relationship between the dukes of Normandy and the Anglo-Saxon kings of England, which gave the Normans a hereditary claim to the English throne. Emma was involved and influential in politics on both sides of the English Channel and throughout Europe. Less than 15 years after Emma’s death, William of Normandy set out for England. His claim to the throne was based in part on Emma and her influence. 

It was after Henry’s death in 1189 that Eleanor really came into her own. Richard, her favorite son, took the throne on his father’s death. One of his first acts was to release Eleanor from prison; he made her his Regent while he participated in the Third Crusade. Eleanor had a large and strong network across the kingdom, and she successfully promoted Richard’s policies and his reputation. He became known as Richard the Lionheart, in part because of her efforts to establish (or possibly embellish?) his reputation. When he was captured on his way home from the Crusade, Eleanor herself raised the funds for his ransom and traveled to deliver it. She was with him when he died in 1199. She died in 1203 and was buried next to her husband, Henry II.

Isabella of France raised forces against her husband and installed her son on the throne. She ruled as Regent for a few years, then after her son took control, lived an independent and wealthy life. She is the only one of our Queen Mothers to actually overthrow her husband to put her child on the throne.

Mary of Modena gave us one of the strangest scandals of the Stuart regime. After a series of miscarriages, she gave birth to a healthy son in 1688. Appalled at the thought of a Catholic succeeding to the throne, Protestants responded by accusing the Queen of miscarrying again and smuggling in a fake heir in a warming pan! The birth of the prince tipped Parliament into inviting William and Mary to replace James and Mary of Modena on the throne.

Mary of Teck is the last non-English Queen consort and Queen Mother. Actually born and raised in the UK, she was technically Princess of Teck. She was selected as a royal bride by Queen Victoria and married her grandson Prince George. After the death of his father Edward VII, George became King George V and Mary became Queen. She represented continuity of the monarchy through the abdication of her son Edward VIII and helped generate support for her son George VI. She lived to see her granddaughter come to the throne, providing an amazing arc from Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II.

Thanks for playing!

Today we’ll be looking at your questions regarding Queens and Consorts. Recently I posted a trivia questions on Facebook: Who was crowned in the SEVEN Tudor coronations? This raised a host of questions about Tudor Queens and Consorts, so I thought this would be a good time to jump right into that Queen versus Queen Consort question. And we’ll also take a quick look at those Tudor coronations. 

A regnant Queen is a woman who inherits and reigns in her own right. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II inherited the throne from her father, King George VI. She is the reigning monarch. Her claim to the throne is her own, not based on marriage to a king. If Prince Philip dies before Her Majesty, she will remain the Queen. When she dies, she will be succeeded by her heir, Prince Charles.

Because of the laws of succession, which until 2013 were based on preference for a male ruler, there are far more reigning Kings than Queens. Most of these Kings had wives, so we also have numerous Queen Consorts.

The Queen Consort is the woman married to the male monarch. So, most recently, during the reign of King George VI, his wife was known as Queen Elizabeth and served as Queen Consort. This ended when the king died and their daughter became Queen Elizabeth II. (Their both being named Elizabeth is confusing, I agree—the current Queen is Queen Elizabeth II, her mother was known as Queen Elizabeth during her husband’s reign. Queen Consorts do not have a number.) 

Throughout British history, the roles of Queens and Queen Consorts have shaped the perception and success of those around them. From the Empress Matilda to HM Queen Elizabeth II, the influence of royal women has changed everything!

In just about six months, we’ve started exploring British history together. So I thought it would be fun for the end of the year to look back at the Top Ten royals, rebels, and romantics. I’ve looked at likes, comments, popular episodes, questions on social media, and here are YOUR top 10! 

Number 10: Romantic Couples

Number 9: Underwear!

Number 8: John of Gaunt’s Love Life and the Wars of the Roses

Number 7: Queen Victoria

Number 6: John Gerard, Spy Extraordinaire

Number 5: Richard III

Number 4: Secrets of the Six Wives

Number 3: Diamond Rings and All That Bling

Number 2: Elizabeth and Elizabeth

And Number 1: Christmas Celebrations!

The Queen’s Christmas speech in 2020 was unlike any other—delivered from Windsor Castle but with a socially distant and reduced crew and as part of a celebration that, for the first time, she did not share with her family. Her Majesty reflected that, “Remarkably, a year that has necessarily kept people apart has, in many ways, brought us closer,” going on to praise those who have been volunteering and demonstrating a quiet, indomitable spirit in the face of a worldwide pandemic. She expressed gratitude for frontline workers, medical professionals, and good Samaritans. Mentioning those who have lost loved ones and are missing family and friends, the Queen assured them “If you are among them, you are not alone, and let me assure you of my thoughts and prayers.”

That seems a good place to end our look back at the Royals, Rebels, and Romantics. Many were moved by and expressed appreciation for the Queen’s speech, especially this year. And in this challenging time, let’s all learn from the powerful lessons of history and use our words and actions to help others and make the world a bit happier each day.

I’ll end by thanking for your listening ears and wonderful support. I’m so looking forward to exploring history next year with you!  Lots of fun and surprises ahead. Stay tuned!

Shortly after her Coronation, Queen Elizabeth II faced one of the biggest challenges of her reign.

Her only sister, Princess Margaret, had fallen in love with her father's former equerry Peter Townsend -- a divorced father of two, who was twice her age.

In Part Two of Queen of the World, we examine the trials and tribulations the young sovereign faced, and the personal ramifications that comes with putting duty above everything else.
