Can we have a limited series about Margaret of Austria? She’s so interesting! Betrothed to the King of France, she was dumped by him in favor of her would-be stepmother. Then she was engaged to the Prince of Asturias, but he died, and afterward, she married the Duke of Savoy, who passed away three years later. After that, she became regent and governor of the Low Countries for her nephew, raising him and her nieces.

Get my girl her moment!
