on BBC Radio 4 FM

The Sony Award-winning investigative history series unearths another document that sheds new light on past events. 5: Alice's Annulment. In 1433, a "sufficiently pretty" woman who was "scarcely 26" gathered together seven female witnesses to testify in the church court at York Minster that her husband John was impotent. How the seven women came to be so sure and what conclusions thejudge drew from their certainty make the basis of a fascinating tale that reveals a great deal about women's lib in the Middle Ages.
