I love it when historians go "we need to take this relationship as seriously as this other relationship" before seguing into how the other relationship is totally fake and made up and perpetuated by hack historians.

#ricardians demanding that eleanor talbot and edward iv was real and not a cynical claim by a usurping king...#then saying it should 'at least' be taken as seriously as catherine de valois and owen tudor #and then turning around and arguing that catherine's 'tudor' children were actually fathered by edmund beaufort #a certain edward ii historian making this argument for edward ii and piers gaveston compared to isabella of france and roger mortimer #and then claiming that unlike catherine de valois (apparently)#isabella had too much sense of her royal dignity to fuck roger mortimer who after all wasn't a king like edward ii #(and no i'm not pulling the 'unlike catherine de valois' thing from my arse)#(this historian literally goes 'isabella had too much royal dignity to fuck mortimer #do not cite catherine de valois to me she's an entirely different person')#(fair but it also seems like she's saying a queen would only fuck a non-royal if she didn't have a sense of royal dignity right?)#text posts

Reign 2013-2017

Mary and Francis

Qual ruscello veggiam d’acque sovente

povero scaturir d’alpestre vena

sì, che temprar pon le sue stille à pena

di stanco Peregrin la sete ardente

ricco di pioggia poi farsi repente

superbo sì, che nulla il corso affrena

di lui, che ’mperioso il tutto mena

ampio tributo à l’Ocean possente;

tal da principio havea debil possanza

a danno mio questo tiranno Amore,

e chiese in van de’ miei pensier la palma.

Hora sovra ’l mio cor tanto s’avanza,

che rapido ne porta il suo furore

a morte il Senso, e la Ragione, e l’Alma.

( Sonnet IV, Isabella Andreini, Rime, 1601 )

Below the cut I have made a list of each English and British monarch, the age of their mothers at their births, and which number pregnancy they were the result of.

Note

How come Catherine de Medici loved Henri so much even though he (cheated and) significantly favoured Diane de portiers, and also slighted her at time like with the castle she wanted and he didn’t give it to her?

It is the accepted narrative that Catherine de’ Medici was obsessively in love with her husband King Henri II, despite the fact that--or perhaps because, depending on who you’re reading--he was clearly in love with Diane de Poitiers. It’s not terribly different from the stories told about Juana of Castile, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella and heiress to Castile. She was married to Philip IV Hapsburg, duke of Burgundy, who was reportedly both very handsome and a womanizer. The stories claim that Juana was so wildly in love with her husband that, after he died from illness, she carried his corpse with him wherever she travelled, and renounced the throne of Castile out of grief and madness. In fact, she is popularly known as Juana la Loca or Juana the Mad.

This is almost certainly propaganda spread both during Juana’s lifetime and after her death. Whatever her feelings were for her husband, he repaid them by conspiring with her father King Ferdinand to dethrone Juana in favour of her young son Charles so they could collectively rule on his behalf. Similarly, much of what we know of Catherine de’ Medici’s feelings for her unfaithful husband comes from the same sources that tell us she was a poisoner and the centre of webs of intrigue and murder.

We know Catherine never remarried or showed any interest in remarrying after Henri’s shocking death in 1559, but there are plenty of reasons for that. She and Henri were married when both of them were 14 years old, and for the first ten years, Catherine was blamed for the couple’s inabiilty to conceive any children. Henri took multiple mistresses at first, but finally settled on Diane de Poitiers, who he treated with far greater respect and affection than his wife. In January 1544, after nearly eleven years of marriage, Catherine finally gave birth to the long-awaited heir to the throne. After him, she had nine more children who survived infancy, and nearly died giving birth to two more.

We also know that she adopted the image of a broken lance and the motto “lacrymae hinc, hinc dolor“ (”from this come my sorrow and tears”) after his death in a jousting accident. But it’s worth remembering that her position as Regent of France on behalf of three of her sons over the next half-century at least partly depended on her keeping up an obvious connection to the previous Valois king. How much of Catherine’s grief was real and how much was politically motivated, we honestly can’t say. But she was an extremely clever woman who spent years flying under the radar before ending up all but ruling France, so she was certainly adept at playing dangerous games.

GAME WITH HISTORICAL CHARACTERS :

RULERS DURING THE 16th CENTURY

For this new game with historical characters, I chose to take 4 sovereigns who are considered the most powerful men of their time: Henry VIII Tudor, King of England and Ireland; Francis I of Valois, King of France; Charles V, King of Spain and Emperor of the Holy Roman German Empire (and many other titles); Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent, longest-reigning leader of the Ottoman Empire.

They met (except Süleyman the Magnificent, but he allied himself with Francis I of France), made alliances with each other against each other. They were all beautiful in their youth but did not necessarily become more beautiful when they were older (Süleyman aged well, Francis I of France too, but Henry VIII of England became obese and Charles V's face lengthened and he lost weight).

In the television series about their reign, they are played by tall and muscular actors (Francis I was giant in size, but Henry VIII was muscular in his youth and Süleyman was considered Magnificent as much for his physique as for his reign). All four of them are the embodiment of their country's power, their reign symbolizing a golden age for their country.

They were also all four seducers, two of them having been rather faithful to their true love (Süleyman renounced his concubines to marry the Ukrainian slave Roxelane, renamed Hürrem; Emperor Charles V only deceived only once his wife and cousin the beautiful Isabella of Portugal), while two others were very unfaithful to their wives (Francis I humiliated his two wives Claude of France and Eleonore of Austria, sister of Charles V, by having favorites; Henry VIII divorced or beheaded his wives).

JEU AVEC DES PERSONNAGES HISTORIQUES :

SOUVERAINS DU XVIe SIÈCLE

Pour ce nouveau jeu avec des personnages historiques, j'ai choisi de prendre 4 souverains qui sont considérés comme les hommes les plus puissants de leur temps : Henry VIII Tudor, Roi d'Angleterre et d'Irlande ; François Ier de Valois, Roi de France ; Charles Quint de Habsbourg, Roi d'Espagne et Empereur du Saint-Empire Romain Germanique (et plein d'autres titres) ; le Sultan Süleyman le Magnifique, chef au plus long règne de l'Empire Ottoman.

Ils se sont rencontrés (sauf Süleyman le Magnifique, mais il s'est allié à François Ier de France), ont fait des alliances les uns avec les autres les uns contre les autres. Ils ont tous été beaux dans leur jeunesse mais n'ont pas forcément embelli (Süleyman a bien vieilli, François Ier de France aussi, mais Henry VIII d'Angleterre est devenu obèse et le visage de Charles Quint s'est allongé et il a maigri).

Dans les séries télévisées portant sur leur règne, ils sont incarnés par des acteurs grands et musclés (François Ier était géant en taille, mais Henry VIII était musclé dans sa jeunesse et Süleyman était considéré comme Magnifique autant pour son physique que pour son règne). Ils sont tous les quatre l'incarnation de la puissance de leur pays, leur régne symbolisant un âge d'or pour leur pays.

Ils étaient aussi tous les quatre des séducteurs, deux d'entre eux ayant été plutôt fidèle à leur véritable amour (Süleyman a renoncé à ses concubines pour épouser l'esclave ukrainienne Roxelane, renommée Hürrem ; l'Empereur Charles Quint n'a trompé qu'une seule fois son épouse et cousine la belle Isabelle du Portugal), alors que deux autres ont été très infidèles à leurs épouses (François Ier a humilié ses deux épouses Claude de France et Éléonore d'Autriche, sœur de Charles Quint, en ayant des favorites ; Henry VIII a divorcé ou décapité ses épouses).

🇬🇧 You have to chose between these versions : All of them are shown as loyal to their lover (depending if they prefer their mistress or wife), fucking rough (Henry VIII, Francis I) or tenderly (Carlos V, Süleyman). Towards their servants, they are cocky and arrogant (Francis I in Carlos Rey Emperador is shown as someone who likes being served), or who treats them as objects or sometimes as friends (Henry VIII), who doesn't even looks at them (Carlos V) or who treats them well as long as they are obedient.

🇨🇵 Vous devez choisir parmi ces versions :

1. King Carlos V of Spain, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (played by the Spanish actor Álvaro Cervantes in the Spanish tv series CARLOS REY EMPERADOR, 2015)

2. Henry VIII Tudor, King of England and Ireland (played by the Irish actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in THE TUDORS, 2007-2010)

3. King Francis I of France (Alfonso Bassave in CARLOS REY EMPERADOR (2015-2016))

4. Sultan Süleyman of the Ottoman Empire (played by the Turkish actor Halit Ergenç in the Turkish tv series MUHTEŞEM YÜZYIL, 2011-2014)

Why did the 100 Years War happen? Well its simple! King Charles IV died without a son so the crown passed to his first cousin Phillip de Valois, but Charles's nephew by his sister Isabella, King Edward III of England, argued that by English succession law, he would get the crown not Phillip. While that was technically in England, it was the French crown, so French succession law was used and Edward had to use war to enforce that claim, thus sparking a century of sporadic wars based off Edward's claim to the French throne through English right.

This (forced) succession crisis is incredibly complicated for how dumb it is so you should be thanking me for simplifying it to "English Law said one guy and French Law said another and the English guy declared war about it."

#100 years war #this is for my own benefit because I get lost with it too but I'm a total Joan of Arc fanboy so I have to understand the causes of the war #part of what makes it so complicated is that Charles inherited from his brother who inherited from their brother #so the succession was already messy before the English got involved
