Lifehacker Podcast: 5 Queens Who Were Really Weird

Queen of Castile Juana I the Mad, for example, loved her husband, King Philip I the Handsome so much that even after his death she barely parted with him. The funeral procession rode around Spain for several months, because Juana could not find a place worthy of accepting the remains of her beloved husband.

Other, no less interesting stories are told in the new episode by host Mikhail Volnykh.
