Previous Episode: Empress Matilda, Part 2
Next Episode: Lady Murasaki

Welcome back to part 3 of our Empress Matilda saga. And this episode is where the action happens. Get ready for lots of Game of Thrones references, given that Empress Matilda and the Anarchy (the 18-year civil war that goes down in this episode) are the inspiration for George RR Martin's "Fire and Blood" aka, House of the Dragon.
And if you just found us, you may want to check out part 1 and part 2 before jumping in!
