#yeah it would have been very convenient for his brother robert
#but - oh no! - it was also convenient for his other brother who immediately set off for the treasury and then a hasty coronation
#(robert had fucked off on the first crusade that's why he wasn't in the right place at the right time)
#(he later ends up imprisoned by his bro in a castle where he learns welsh and writes some poems)
#(say what you will about henry 1st he was at least VERY good at getting things from his older brothers)
#okay it might have been an actual genuine hunting accident but i only read about dead monarchs for THE DRAMA let me have this
#i always enjoy when a history book gets to this point and you find out if the author thinks it was an accident or an “accident”
#the normans are french vikings and i've yet to come across one whose name is actually norman
#idk if that name existed then but *I* would have named at least one son 'Norman of Normandy' just for giggles
#btw every famous woman of this era is called Matilda. all of them. there's battles between competing English queens called Matilda.
#i have yet to come across any explanation of why this is. i assume there's an OG Matilda who's famous maybe? possibly a saint?
#(there *is* one called Edith too... but then she changes her name to Matilda) (no really) (and it's her husband's mother's name)
#idk how you're supposed to write Norman Monarchy Femslash when all the women have the same name
#what if i want to read about Queen Matilda's epic forbidden love for her husband's arch-enemy Queen Matilda? eh? eh? EH???
#i should probably come up with a tag for my history-related nonsense i wouldn't want people to find it who seek Sensible Thoughts
#history fandom
#(there that'll do for a tag)
