#Count of Feria
Text
Elizabeth apparently told Gomez Suarez de Figueroa, Count of Feria, and one of Philip’s leading councillors, that she was aware “that when she was in prison, your majesty [Philip] had shown her favour and helped to obtain her release.” At the same meeting, Feria told Elizabeth that it was Philip who “who had procured her recent recognition as the queen’s sister and successor, and not the queen or the council, and that this was something your majesty had been trying to secure for some time.”

A note from the editors...
On First Kill and What it Says About Netflix, Media and the Undo Burden Queer Women Have to Carry
I have no criticisms for First Kill. The people who worked on it did their best with the limited budget and experience they had. Even with its flaws the concept was good and the story of the two girls alone managed to get more viewership than many Netflix series that are constantly renewed.
I will however talk about Netflix. I have been very vocal of my criticism of Netflix in the past but always put that aside so we can promote wlw media on this blog wherever they came from. But it was always blatant how the idea of queer women leads is viewed on the platform.
Netflix initially launched into mainstream culture in great part due to offering diverse shows like Orange is the new Black (a show specifically diverse in terms of women's sexuality, with queer women leads). Shows that were considered alternative and progressive compared to Network TV. After succeeding in gaining popularity because they offered the thing others didn't, Netflix content shifted. Even though investing in creating a quality show with a wlw main couple had paid off in the past they decided being more like network TV was the best strategy. Any attempt at inclusion for queer women was either carefully veiled behind projects that "are not really about the gay girls, the gay girls are just there" like The Prom, promoted without a hint of the lgbt content like Everything Sucks and Teenage Bounty Hunters or not promoted at all like Feria The Darkest Light, The Half of It and I'm Not Ok With This. They were generally given very little room to succeed. Most of the wlw focused projects were never promoted, had unknown actors and given a small budget.
If the project was big, well promoted and expensive it meant the screentime of the queer woman was limited. Even Warrior Nun (based on very gay source material) and Babysitter's Club (with everyone thinking the lead has to be queer) simply gave a side character 2 minutes to be out as a gay girl and called it a day. If they're investing big you can count on the gay woman part to be small. This came to a head when they changed the lead's sexuality in Archive 81 (who was a lesbian with a wife in the original podcast) and made her wife her gay roommate. "And they were roommates!". It was in some ways laughable to what lengths they'd go to because of their need to limit queer women to side characters in big projects they're actually invested in.
But First Kill was a series putting the wlw couple front and center so we had to believe all of the above was a coincidence right? We gave them another chance and they proved everything we had been seeing was right. They set it up to fail and when it didn't they justified the cancellation by saying it didn't succeed enough. That's the thing. It would have succeeded enough if they hadn't set it up to fail so blatantly.
Netflix will rain unbelievable amounts of money to get the biggest names from the TikTok, acting and music worlds to star in their big budget straight cheesy romances. They gave First Kill 10 dollars and candy to paraphrase a person who worked on the show. They were unwilling to pay for the really good, experienced writing team needed to turn a vampire romance story into a well fleshed out TV show. As a result the writing was acceptable for a vampire romance novel but not for live action TV dialogue. They were unwilling to pay for good cgi. As a result the cgi made CW shows look good in comparison. They were unwilling to pay for expensive, popular actors. They were unwilling to pay for any sort of production value. Why? Because they don't have enough faith in projects about queer women to invest in them. But the wlw shows have to succeed anyway or else we confirm their aversion to invest in our projects was right. We are asked and creators are asked to make a hit out of something without given the proper tools and then told we don't sell.
That is our vicious circle with Netflix even if it's proven that when money and work is put in to a project that centers wlw, people will come. Even if millions are lost on failed projects that center straight ppl. Even in a world where Gen Z is set to rule the world and it's a generation that is more and more queer.
Queer women are expected to consume projects that are lesser than those of straight ppl and even those of gay men. Unfortunately, we live in that messed up intersection of misogyny and homophobia that makes investing in us somehow the last risk to take. As they liberally throw money away on worthless trash. But it's straight trash so...
Good news is Network TV is dying. Netflix imitating their focus on a default basic straight audience (and the white gay pretty boys they can fetishize) does not seem like a good strategy for the future. Other services that are putting real effort into bringing queer women out of the TV margins will become the entertainment providers of the most sexually diverse generation of women we've ever had. Let's bring about that future as soon as possible. Go watch Paper Girls, Yellowjackets, Harley Quinn animated series, Dickinson, Crush... If you're a woman, or non-binary person, and not straight, fuck Netflix. Cancel your Netflix account.
Do fear for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Expect as little from Netflix as possible. That's what they're willing to give you.

5th February >> Mass Readings (USA)
Saint Agatha, Virgin, Martyr
on
Monday, Fifth Week in Ordinary Time.
Monday, Fifth Week in Ordinary Time
(Liturgical Colour: Red: B (2))
(Readings for the feria (Monday))
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Monday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
First Reading
1 Kings 8:1-7, 9-13
They brought the ark of the covenant into the holy of holies, and a cloud filled the temple of the Lord.
The elders of Israel and all the leaders of the tribes, the princes in the ancestral houses of the children of Israel, came to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant from the City of David, which is Zion. All the people of Israel assembled before King Solomon during the festival in the month of Ethanim (the seventh month). When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark; they carried the ark of the LORD and the meeting tent with all the sacred vessels that were in the tent. (The priests and Levites carried them.)
King Solomon and the entire community of Israel present for the occasion sacrificed before the ark sheep and oxen too many to number or count. The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place beneath the wings of the cherubim in the sanctuary, the holy of holies of the temple. The cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark, sheltering the ark and its poles from above. There was nothing in the ark but the two stone tablets which Moses had put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel at their departure from the land of Egypt.
When the priests left the holy place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD so that the priests could no longer minister because of the cloud, since the LORD’s glory had filled the temple of the LORD. Then Solomon said, “The LORD intends to dwell in the dark cloud; I have truly built you a princely house, a dwelling where you may abide forever.”
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 132:6-7, 8-10
R/ Lord, go up to the place of your rest!
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar. Let us enter into his dwelling, let us worship at his footstool.
R/ Lord, go up to the place of your rest!
Advance, O LORD, to your resting place, you and the ark of your majesty. May your priests be clothed with justice; let your faithful ones shout merrily for joy. For the sake of David your servant, reject not the plea of your anointed.
R/ Lord, go up to the place of your rest!
Gospel Acclamation
cf. Matthew 4:23
Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and cured every disease among the people.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
Mark 6:53-56
As many as touched it were healed.
After making the crossing to the other side of the sea, Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Agatha, Virgin, Martyr
(Liturgical Colour: Red: B (2))
(Readings for the memorial)
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Monday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
First Reading
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
God chose the weak of the world.
Consider your own calling, brothers and sisters. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong, and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something, so that no human being might boast before God. It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 31:3cd-4, 6 and 8ab, 16bc and 17
R/ Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to give me safety. You are my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake you will lead and guide me.
R/ Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Into your hands I commend my spirit; you will redeem me, O LORD, O faithful God. I will rejoice and be glad because of your mercy.
R/ Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Rescue me from the clutches of my enemies and my persecutors. Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your kindness.
R/ Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
Gospel Acclamation
1 Peter 4:14
Alleluia, alleluia.
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of God rests upon you.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
Luke 9:23-26
Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Jesus said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Do you think Philip marrying Elizabeth could've ever happened? Like I'm reading this Armada book and the guys saying basically it was happening since she really liked him as much as he liked her and got in trouble with Mary. But then she like wanted him to win her over more and wait but he took it as rejection so married another woman, but that it would've been real but idk politics got in the way I guess
I'm intrigued - could you tell me which Armada book you are reading?
The problem with them marrying was that Elizabeth could marry Philip only on his conditions, he required her conversion to Catholicism and England remaining Catholic (not only because of his personal faith and conviction but also because without these conditions there was no chance for him to get a dispensation from the pope to marry her which he needed because Elizabeth was his sister-in-law). These two moments were non-negotiable and at the existing conjuncture they were unacceptable to Elizabeth, as she famously put it to Feria, I can't marry your king because I'm a heretic.
The thing you mention about her wanting him to wait longer - I think I understand where it comes from. When Elizabeth found out about Philip's engagement to Elisabeth of Valois she commented to Feria that Philip:
could not have been so much in love with her as I had said, as you had not had patience to wait four months for her ; and many things of the same sort, as if she was not at all pleased at the decision adopted by your Majesty.
(See Feria to Philip, London, 11th April 1559. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-state-papers/simancas/vol1/pp46-64)
This passage sometimes is interpreted exactly as you said, but it's far more likely that Elizabeth as other English was not pleased by this turn of events because they were worried about the prospect of alliance between France and Spain against England, let's remember that France championed the rights of Mary Queen of Scots (the daughter-in-law of Henri II, the French king) to the throne of England. Elizabeth knew about France-Spain antagonism and counted on the fact that Mary Queen of Scots becoming queen of England was an unacceptable scenario to Philip. On her accession and afterwards the situation was Elizabeth and Philip against France, Philip had supported her accession. Now, with Philip marrying Elisabeth of Valois and becoming son-in-law to Henri II, it seemed in England that Philip was abandoning his alliance with England, and him turning against England allied with France was the worst nightmare to the English. I can tell you that their concerns were not unfounded because Henri II indeed offered to Philip to go to fight England together but he rejected these offers. So he really didn't abandon Elizabeth even when married to Elisabeth of Valois (my boy!).
If Elizabeth had had a sudden change of heart that winter and had said like "hey whatever, I agree to be a Catholic" and married Philip, her Protestant friends, followers, supporters would have perceived it as a betrayal and probably she would have lost their support. But I don't think she would have lost her throne or power because a) England still was a Catholic country where Protestants were in minority; b) although Philip had become more unpopular due to the loss of Calais he had brains and resources to improve English opinion of him; c) there were actually people like English merchants in the Netherlands who supported this match.
And I think in certain circumstances Elizabeth may have married Philip, like if their marriage were arranged by their parents when they were in their teens (explored in this excellent AU fic) or if Philip and Mary had had a living child but Mary had died and Philip proposed to Elizabeth.

Jane Dormer was born in 1538, the daughter of a former suitor to Jane Seymour, Henry VIII's third wife. She served Mary I when she became queen and was close to her, marrying one of Mary's closest advisors, the Spanish Count de Feria, soon after the Queen's death. Jane, a devout Catholic, left England after Elizabeth I's accession and never returned to her homeland. She did, however, retain an interest in its affairs, as a letter she wrote to James VI of Scotland demonstrates. In her letter, Jane, who had been acquainted with his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots, assured the King that the surest path to the English throne was for him to convert to Catholicism—advice that he was to prudently ignore.

As an example of the kind of historical background to which I devote attention, consider the international array of diplomats and courtiers that came together for the marriage of Queen Mary Tudor and Prince Philip of Spain in July of 1554. This group includes the henchman of the late King Edward VI, Henry Sidney (1529-86), who named two of his children, Philip and Mary, in honor of the marriage; the second Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca and son of the conqueror of Mexico, Martín Cortés (1532-89); the future ambassador to France and England, Bernardino de Mendoza (1541?-1604), who would report Philip Sidney’s doings to King Philip II thirty years later; and the prince’s confidant, Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, the fifth Count of Feria, who was the third cousin once removed of the adolescent mestizo in Cuzco later to rename himself the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and who would become Philip Sidney’s cousin by marriage. We tend to think insensibly of these historical figures as occupying discrete worlds, and certainly scholarship has colluded in keeping them apart, but I will argue that they personify the emergence of a transatlantic European society behind many works and events in this period.

4th August >> Mass Readings (Except USA)
Saint John Mary Vianney, Priest
on
Friday, Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time.
Friday, Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time
(Liturgical Colour: White: A (1))
(Readings for the feria (Friday))
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Friday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
First Reading
Leviticus 23:1,4-11,15-16,27,34-37
The law of the festivals of the Lord.
The Lord spoke to Moses. He said:
‘These are the Lord’s solemn festivals, the sacred assemblies to which you are to summon the sons of Israel on the appointed day.
‘The fourteenth day of the first month, between the two evenings, is the Passover of the Lord; and the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of Unleavened Bread for the Lord. For seven days you shall eat bread without leaven. On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you must do no heavy work. For seven days you shall offer a burnt offering to the Lord. The seventh day is to be a day of sacred assembly; you must do no work.’
The Lord spoke to Moses. He said:
‘Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them:
‘“When you enter the land that I give you, and gather in the harvest there, you must bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest, and he is to present it to the Lord with the gesture of offering, so that you may be acceptable. The priest shall make this offering on the day after the sabbath.
‘“From the day after the sabbath, the day on which you bring the sheaf of offering, you are to count seven full weeks. You are to count fifty days, to the day after the seventh sabbath, and then you are to offer the Lord a new oblation.
‘“The tenth day of the seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly. You must fast, and you must offer a burnt offering to the Lord.
‘“The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of Tabernacles for the Lord, lasting seven days. The first day is a day of sacred assembly; you must do no heavy work. For seven days you must offer a burnt offering to the Lord. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly, you must offer a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a day of solemn meeting; you must do no heavy work.
‘“These are the solemn festivals of the Lord to which you are to summon the children of Israel, sacred assemblies for the purpose of offering burnt offerings, holocausts, oblations, sacrifices and libations to the Lord, according to the ritual of each day.”’
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 80(81):3-6,10-11
R/ Ring out your joy to God our strength.
Raise a song and sound the timbrel,
the sweet-sounding harp and the lute;
blow the trumpet at the new moon,
when the moon is full, on our feast.
R/ Ring out your joy to God our strength.
For this is Israel’s law,
a command of the God of Jacob.
He imposed it as a rule on Joseph,
when he went out against the land of Egypt.
R/ Ring out your joy to God our strength.
Let there be no foreign god among you,
no worship of an alien god.
I am the Lord your God,
who brought you from the land of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
R/ Ring out your joy to God our strength.
Gospel Acclamation
cf. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
Alleluia, alleluia!
Accept God’s message for what it really is:
God’s message, and not some human thinking.
Alleluia!
Or:
1 Peter 1:25
Alleluia, alleluia!
The word of the Lord remains for ever:
What is this word?
It is the Good News that has been brought to you.
Alleluia!
Gospel
Matthew 13:54-58
A prophet is only despised in his own country.
Coming to his home town, Jesus taught the people in their synagogue in such a way that they were astonished and said, ‘Where did the man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? This is the carpenter’s son, surely? Is not his mother the woman called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Jude? His sisters, too, are they not all here with us? So where did the man get it all?’ And they would not accept him. But Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is only despised in his own country and in his own house’, and he did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint John Mary Vianney, Priest
(Liturgical Colour: White: A (1))
(Readings for the memorial)
(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Friday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)
First Reading
Ezekiel 3:17-21
Warn the wicked man, and you will live.
The word of the Lord was addressed to me as follows, ‘Son of man, I have appointed you as sentry to the House of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from me, warn them in my Name. If I say to a wicked man, “You are to die,” and you do not warn him; if you do not speak and warn him to renounce his evil ways and so live, then he shall die for his sin, but I will hold you responsible for his death. If, however, you do warn a wicked man and he does not renounce his wickedness and his evil ways, then he shall die for his sin, but you yourself will have saved your life. When the upright man renounces his integrity to do evil and I set a trap for him, he too shall die; since you failed to warn him, he shall die for his sin and the integrity he practised will no longer be remembered; but I will hold you responsible for his death. If, however, you warn the upright man not to sin and he abstains from sinning, he shall live, thanks to your warning, and you too will have saved your life.’
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 116(117):1-2
R/ Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News.
or
R/ Alleluia!
O praise the Lord, all you nations,
acclaim him all you peoples!
R/ Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News.
or
R/ Alleluia!
Strong is his love for us;
he is faithful for ever.
R/ Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News.
or
R/ Alleluia!
Gospel Acclamation
Luke 4:17
Alleluia, alleluia!
The Lord has sent me to bring the good news to the poor,
to proclaim liberty to captives.
Alleluia!
Gospel
Matthew 9:35-10:1
The harvest is rich but the labourers are few.
Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases and sickness.
And when he saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest.’
He summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness.
The Gospel of the Lord
R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Elizabeth [I] lived under intense scrutiny. All aspects of her body and behaviour, however intimate, were the stuff of ambassadorial despatches and the subject of prurient interest on both a national and international level. On her accession to the throne, the Count of Feria claimed that Elizabeth 'was not likely to have a long life.' Her constitution, he told Philip of Spain, 'cannot be very strong.' The French ambassador de Noailles agreed: 'those who have seen her do not promise her long to live.'
The Image and Perception of Monarchy in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
#lol...lmao; even#it is interesting how much her illness in the 1550s in underwritten tho#also the de noailles quote is not from her queenship. so

Derecho al olvido
Derecho al olvido o al descanso.
(I don't think I will be interested in a book or poem or a painting) Feria de fe.
No puedo imaginar cómo pasar los días, como un ser más que el resultado de una coincidencia. Un mensaje de transmisión vinculado al Atlántico. Buenas horas, PaddyP.
Waking up this morning, from deep slumber, I realized that I could not remember the last time I went back to bed.
The last time I had a good night sleep, I can't remember either.
I know I need to go on vacation to find myself and to get this difusing feeling out of my head.
To better understand the feeling of being small, of being cornered, of being dwarfed.
I am going to see myself from a better angle.
With a sharper and more relaxed look at the self, from the outside.
You can bet I'll be counting my blessings on the way.
For one, I'll be in touch with my muse, who for the last few days has been MIA.
And I'll be in a better place, and free of so many people who seem to think they know me better than I do.
As I rode my scooter from the parking lot, in front of my house, to the main road, a young man, wearing a heavy leather jacket, with his arms at the sides, seemed to be signaling at me to take a look at him.

“I was glad to hear that you had gone to see the Lady Elizabeth. When you come, you will report what happened between her and you.”
Philip II of Spain to the Count of Feria. 27 May, 1558. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-state-papers/spain/vol13/pp378-393
“I went to visit the Lady Elizabeth, as your Majesty instructed me to do. She was very much pleased; and I was also, for reasons I will tell your Majesty when I arrive over there.”
Count of Feria to Philip II of Spain. 23 June, 1558. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-state-papers/spain/vol13/pp394-402
I would really love to know what they were talking about. What was so secret and important in these conversations that couldn’t be laid on paper? What did Elizabeth tell Feria that made him so pleased?
