Whip It! - Lola Montez 1867

It's 1847 and Europe’s most exciting woman has just seduced a king and started a revolution. 
Join 19th-century dancer, actress, courtesan and adventuress, Lola Montez as she scandalises Bavaria, horrifies London and terrifies Ludwig I.

• How did a whip-wielding exotic dancer become a controversial star on the London stage?
• Why did she pretend to be Spanish?
• What happened when she took her scandalous act out on tour?
• How did she end up exiled?

It’s a literally bodice-ripping story of high maintenance, hubris and horsewhips.
All in episode 6 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
