Det anspændte forhold mellem Maria og Elizabeth, døtre af Henrik VIII, er efterhånden velkendt stof. Kampen om tronen, om troen, om folkets kærlighed, om den spanske prins Filips kærlighed, ja om så mange ting, forpestede stemningen ved det engelske hof og fik alle hoffolk til at krybe langs væggene af skræk. Hannah har en evne: Hun ser ting, eller rettere en gang imellem tager tungen magten over hende, og hun siger ting, taler om noget, der endnu ikke er sket, advarer om endnu ikke erkendte farer.

Tre unge kvinder, tre skrækkelige skæbner. Henrik VIII's ulykkelige ægteskab med Anne Boleyn gav langvarige efterdønninger. Efter dronning Janes død i barselsseng skal kongen have en ny dronning, og valget falder på Anne af Cleeves fra et lille hertugdømme i Tyskland. Maleren Holbein sendes af sted for at lave et portræt af den unge pige, og kongen er godt tilfreds, da han ser det. Det er han imidlertid ikke, da han og Anne møder hinanden første gang. Mødet er en katastrofe, og ægteskabet er kuldsejlet på forhånd.

Hvad de færreste ved, er at kongen først var forelsket i Annes søster Mary og faktisk fik to børn med hende. I Kongens Frille hører vi om denne historie, om en purung pige belastet med en familie, så ambitiøs at de sendte først Mary og dernæst Anne af sted til kongens seng i håb om vinde magtkampen blandt Englands allerfornemmeste familier. Da kampen var forbi, havde Anne mistet sit hoved, Henrik var blevet bandlyst af paven, familien Boleyn havde tabt al magt, og kimen var lagt til arvefølgestridigheder og voldsom religiøs uro i landet i mange år derefter.

Elizabeth den Første krones i 1558 og følges tæt af sin barndomsven og tilbeder Sir Robert Dudley. Mens hans søger magten ved hoffet, lever hans hustru en trist og forsømt tilværelse, og dronningens nærmeste begynder at se skævt til ham.

Normal Women is a radical retelling of our nation’s story – not of the rise and fall of kings and the occasional queen – but of social and cultural change, powered by the determination, persistence and effectiveness of women – from 1066 to modern times. Did women really do nothing to shape England’s culture and traditions in nine centuries of turmoil, plague, famine, religious reform and the rise of empire and industry?
