The Children of Ysabeau de Clermont
Ysabeau loved her children, often changing them to save their lives. Unfortunately, it was when she turned her surviving son and the twins it was realised she carried blood rage disease. So, the de Clermonts attempted to use this and channel their rage into a asset to the family. If not; they were culled.

⭐️𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐞⭐️ 🐰⚓️🛡️⚔️🍿🎦 Coming 2025! Matthew GoodE is the voice of Walter the Rabbit, whose alter ego is “Sir Balderdash” the dashing knight! Photo: David Freedman/Fabrique d’images
The NEW Project is a "family-oriented feature Tally Ho! (also known as Spiked), a co-production staged by Luxembourg’s Fabrique d’images with French and British partners. Penned by David Freedman and Jules de Jongh, it revolves around Holly, a young and courageous hedgehog. The picture is budgeted at around €7.3 million." (Cineuropa) In 2022. Film Fund Luxembourg awarded a production grant of the biggest magnitude (€3 million) for this project. Matthew and the other voice cast recorded earlier in March, right before filming Freud's Last Session in Ireland.
There is a wonderful connection to A Discovery of Witches though. Holly is voiced by Kíla Lord Cassidy, who is the daughter of Elaine Cassidy and Stephen Lord. Her mother plays Louisa de Clermont, Matthew's sister in season 2!

Tally Ho is directed by Caroline Origer (My Fairy Troublemaker 2022). More details from Kasper Animation here. "TALLY HO! A fun and engaging family adventure, which reveals the consequences of taking and making a family from someone else’s and expecting love, rather than earning it.
Holly is a lonely 10-year old orphan living in a lighthouse with her overbearing twin brother, desperate to be part of a real family full of fun and adventure.
She’d really like to be part of Walter’s 52-strong rabbit family next door. But Walter is feeling the weight of family responsibility on his shoulders and has his own dreams of a different life through the comic adventures of a Chivalrous Knight in the graphic novel he reads.
One fateful day Holly witnesses an accident on the nearby busy road. Walter is hit by a car. Remarkably he appears unhurt but he’s lost his memory.
Holly comes to the rescue but soon sees an opportunity to feed a lie – Walter is Holly’s adopted father and they are on an adventure. But the lie quickly escalates and Walter’s deep down desires of his own adventures takes on a twist as he convinces himself he is “Sir Balderdash” the dashing knight from his favourite comic books.
So, the questing begins but this is not a comic book and reckless adventuring has consequences." Coming 2025.

As I am someone who loves period drama, historical fashion and buildings and brilliant women, you can understand why I love this book so much!!
Some of my favourite moments:
Diana excitement at being a witch and travelling back to 1590s England.
Ch.1. Pierre, familiar with the signs of a woman on the edge, hastily thrust a set of black britches at my husband so he wouldn't be bare legged when my anger erupted.
All the fashion!!!!
Pierre and Françoise.
The gentle giant named Henry Percy.
Matthew's pride in Diana's academic accomplishments.
Matthew's relationship with his friends.
Ch.4. Though she was a vampire and I was a witch, we had reached unexpected common ground when it came to the idiocy of men.
Gallowglass meeting Diana and him calling her Auntie.
The mastermind that is named Philippe de Clermont
Ch.8. "Every creature for miles was after me then. I had to stop working!"
The knowledge that Ysabeau had foreseen that Matthew and Diana would meet Philippe and that's why she sent the ring to Diana.
Ch.8. "And you think there is time for courtship? For a man who considers himself learned, Matthew, your stupidity is breathtaking."
Philippe's horror at Diana's attempts to speak Latin and Greek.
Ch.9. "We don't lock up books in this house'" Philippe said. "Only food, ale, and wine. Reading Herodotus or Aquinas seldom leads to bad behaviour."
The fact that there was a family council to stop Philippe from making daughters. And also him meeting Diana and finding a loophole to that promise.
The hay barn.
Philippe making Diana a part of his family.
Ch.11. "I just killed a man! This isn't moment to discuss our marriage." "Nonsense. Marrying amid bloodshed is a de Clermont family tradition," Philippe said briskly. "We only seem to mate creatures who are desired by others. It is a messy business."
Ch.12. "The family never puts 'surely' and 'Philippe' in the same sentence. It always ends badly."
The three day wedding celebrations. Philippe giving Diana her wedding gifts, the entire village attending the wedding, Matthew's struggling to pull of Diana's elaborate wedding gown.
The Saturnalia celebrations and Philippe's adventure with the clock.
Diana saying goodbye to Philippe and telling him she will be there with him in the darkness.
Ysabeau reading Philippe's letter.
Matthew realising Diana is pregnant.
Diana getting comfortable in the past.
Diana and Mary Sidney doing experiments together.
Annie Undercroft.
Mary and Henry giving the lockets.
Phoebe meeting Marcus.
Goody Alsop. Her friendship with Diana and teaching her how to be a weaver.
Jack Blackfriars!
The mouse/rat trap 🤣
Diana's love for John Dee's library.
Mary helping Diana to put on her 'armour' for her summons to court.
Matthew and Diana finally meeting Kelley thanks to a chain of relationships forged by women.
Deborah Harkness's description of cities and buildings.
Matthew and Diana visiting Rabbi Loew.
Jack's love for Lobero.
Matthew and Diana reconnecting, Matthew drinking her blood and Diana seeing his memories by witch's kiss.
Matthew and Diana realising she is pregnant again.
A young Elizabeth attacking Matthew with a pair of shears.
Diana meeting her father again.
Ch.37. "Messy? So is life. Stop trying to be perfect. Try being real for a change."
Corra, the firedrake.
Stephen ordering Diana and Matthew to go out on a date.
Spending their last evening in the past looking at the moon.
Question:
After what she had seen he & Louisa attempted to do to Diana, who's dumb idea was it that Annie should work for Christopher Marlowe?

Name: Valeria Bailey (born as Margaret)
Nickname: Val, Peggy, the Bloody Mary of Barbados.
Age: 19, almost 20 when turned. Turned in 1807.
Born: St. Louis, Barbados
Living: New Orleans, USA
Species: Vampire
Occupation: enslaved woman (previously), bartender.
Family: John (father, deceased)
Sally (mother, deceased)
Louisa de Clermont (maker)
Patience MacNeil
Ransome Fayrweather
Geraldine
Loyalty: Patience MacNeil, Ransome Fayrweather, Geraldine and their following.
One fact: Ransome calls her Margaret to make her listen, and she hates that.
History: Valeria Bailey was born into slavery in Barbados, named only Margaret by the plantation owner, Louisa de Clermont. Aged only 13, she was brought into the main house. She was soon after assaulted the first time by another plantation owner who was visiting. The assaults went on regularly, with the men paying Louisa for time with the young girl. Though it’s unsure if she had any living children from these assaults, she did suffer some miscarriages, brought on by herself and other women on the plantation to save the poor children from captivity, and the mother from an early death.
At almost 20, Valeria was turned into a vampire against her will after almost dying from an infection. It wasn’t that Louisa cared for the girl, but she got more money from keeping her alive and healthy, so she turned her. Valeria resented her for it, and vowed she would get back at the older vampire for it. After being turned, Val hunted down her abusers, the ones alive, and killed them slowly, one by one, but making sure the message was given to the other men, that their time was up. She did get her revenge on Louisa though, using her own good looks and charms to turn the other plantation owners against her maker. Once the killing was done, she went on, killing everyone who’d wronged her. Valeria spent a few years in Barbados after being turned, striking fear in the people there, being nicknamed «The Bloody Mary of Barbados».
After she was satisfied she travelled over to New Orleans to start a new chapter of her life. In New Orleans she meets Geraldine, a fellow vampire, and the two become fast friends, Geraldine bringing the newcomer to her brother and aunt in hopes of adding another member to the shrunken family. Her past isn’t immediately laid out there, but as she learns to trust the others she shows them the news paper clippings telling the tale of a mysterious female killer wreaking havoc on Barbados. They’re quite impressed and, and slightly worried.
She’s unsure, like Patience of believing Matthew when he comes knocking, but after some convincing she’s on board too, if only to get rid of Benjamin, who she’s had the misfortune of meeting in the past. She grows close to Ysabeau though, and decides to keep in touch after the fighting is over, when she goes back to New Orleans with her family.

fashion at Chatsworth house through the years
THE EMPRESS’s OF FASHION
Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire 1757-1806
Tumblr media
picture painted roughly 1785-1787
if the court of Versailles was the the centre of taste and fashion in the eighteenth century, the court of at James was the ‘residence of fullness’ in the damning phrase of a visiting Prussian dignitary. Rather than the conservative court, English fashion was led by an elite group of conservatives court, English fashion was led by an elite group of aristocratic women in the circle of the prince of wales, who presided over a rival ‘court’ of powerful, pleasure-loving Whigs opposed to the ruling Tory party. Among these titles luminaries one name was Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire. From an early age Georgina was tutored in the art of dress by a mother whose renowned intellect and piety did nothing to dampen her own love of fashion, spending £1,486 on gown, riding habits, shoes, fans, hats and mantles.
Tumblr media
confections of feathers, flowers and other ornaments, nestled in sculptures of scent of powder and pomade. The trend began in Paris by Georgina had several of our place in four months in November 1774, her friend Lady Clermont wrote to her from Paris with news of a surprising fashion trend started by Madame de boufflers: “there is no describing her headdress and of all young people they sit at the bottom of their coaches, as I have no room if they sit on the seat”. As she was unable to describe the new headdress, Lady Clermont drew a picture of it in the text of her letter. It was not long before Georgina began wearing similar high feathered coiffures.
Louisa Cavendish Duchess of Devonshire 1858-1859
The history of fancy dress goes back many centuries, costumed masked balls were a feature of sixteenth century Italy and were especially popular in Venice, with the custom spreading across Europe. Legend has it that a Swiss count, John James Heidegger introduced public subscription masked balls from Venice to London in the early years of the eighteenth century. The masked balls were held in theatres and assembly rooms, and later in public gardens such as Ranelagh and Vauxhall.
Tumblr media
Every season the 8th Duke of Devonshire and his Duchess Louise gave a number of parties and entertainments, including an annual dance the night after the Derby, but Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 was the perfect opportunity to give the ball of the century. Since fancy dress was all the rage, Louise decided to give her guests plenty of scope for imagination, and stipulated on the invitation that dress should be "allegorical or historical costume before 1815.

THE MITFORD STYLE
A photograph of five of the six Mitford sisters taken in the mid-1930s fixed the 'Mitford style' in the public imagination: tweed suit, Fair Isle jumper, a string of pearls and flat, no-nonsense shoes (fig. 108). How ironic that such a conventional style should be associated with such highly unconventional women.Their lives were anything but ordinary; at the time the photograph was taken, they were defying family expectations and scandalising society with their political views.But however little the 'Mitford style' might reveal about the women who wore it, certain of its features nevertheless remained constant in their wardrobes. They favoured clothes that were comfortable, practical, long-lasting and, when they could afford it, expensively but discreetly elegant. 'No one is going to look at you', their nanny drummed into them from a young age, even into Diana, the most beautiful of the sisters, on her wedding day.

Nancy Mitford in her costume for the famous beauties ball at the Dorchester hotel 1931
Married and was raising a family of seven children on never quite enough money, she could not afford many clothes, but those she had were original and exactly right for her.The pretty uniform she designed for her housekeeper and parlour maid was also original: a blue and white Toile-de-Jouy dress in a traditional bird pattern, a white linen apron and an organdy cap threaded with black velvet ribbon. She had a talent for making herself and her surroundings har-monious, and she too made her clothes last. When Jessica was over from America in 1959, she helped her mother pack up her winter clothes and came across a black silk brocade evening dress. "This looks awfully familiar', she said. 'Yes, I should think it does', Sydney replied, 'I got it in 1926 for Pam's coming-out dance.'As a debutante, Nancy went to parties in frocks run up by her mother's retired maid for £1, but she longed for creations from the London dressmakers. Sadly, her husband, Peter Rodd, was feckless and a gambler. But Nancy had natural elegance and looked chic even in homemade or inexpensive outfits.
