✧ "Elizabeth of York's responsibilities included acts of charity, keeping her household, and, of course, bearing heirs. As the queen of Henry Tudor, she had the additional charge of demonstrating support for him that would help unite the country and end the infighting between Lancaster and York. To this end, each appointment and gift had to be considered for the impression that it made. From the beginning of their marriage, Elizabeth accepted a submissive role, seeing it as her duty to God and country to support her husband.
Henry and Elizabeth agreed that her first concern was for children, and they were almost immediately blessed with their first. Prince Arthur was born a scant eight months after their marriage, so Elizabeth’s time as queen coincides with her time as a mother. Even before Arthur was born, she would have begun planning for his education and household. Elizabeth spent significant time directing the care of her children and participating in their life herself much more than many queens of her era. Still, her priority was Henry, and the two were seldom apart, even after separate households were set up for the children." — Samantha Wilcoxson

Elizabeth of York, fashion character design, c. 1472-1473.
The fleur-de-lys on the dress make me think of the moment when Elizabeth was engaged to Charles, the Dauphin of France.

A copy of Napoleon’s Notes on English History, edited by Henry Foljmabe Hall came in the mail for me and it already looks so wild
Just skimming and for the highlights of English history I tend to be interested in, so far we have Napoleon just losing track of all the genealogies in the War of the Roses. Relatable.
Richard III? Definitely had the princess smothered, move over Philippe Langley, Napoleon has already made his ruling in like 1788.
Later, he straight up makes up where Henry VII gets his “claim” to the throne from. Not on purpose but it’s clear he has no idea. Probably from his mom? Who was descended from…a…daughter? Of Edward iii? Right? Sure, says Napoleon, let’s go with that
He does note some “niche” history like how Anne Boleyn was accused of incest by Lady Rochford. He doesn’t note who she’s accused of committing it with. He also later and erroneously notes that Katherine Howard was accused of incest.
Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded primarily, he says, because she was Christian.
And those are my highlights baby
