"According to the criterion of stipend, the haseki, or favorite concubine, enjoyed the greatest status in the imperial harem after the valide sultan. The haseki, a slave concubine and no blood relation to the reigning sultan, ranked higher than the sultan's own sisters and aunts, the princesses of the dynasty." - The Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire by Leslie P. Peirce

Reading the US Arbitration for the San Juan Island Dispute right now, and in their opening the U.S. rep has referred to the U.S. as “the heir of Spain”. I’m about 85 pages in and it’s come up two times. This was written in 1869-70(ish).

The reason the lawyers are bringing it up now is basically to say “We should be allowed to have everything Spain used to own above the 42nd, since Spain’s empire is basically dead and we’re not, and that would include ALL of Oregon, so you see your Highness, German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm I (he was the judge), it was actually very generous of us to offer up the 49th parallel as the border and give Britain all that land they had no right to and despite all that now they’re being dicks about who gets the San Juan Islands which is pretty lame of them tbh”

It’s just a fascinating detail to me because it’s sooo different from the way we think of the U.S. empire now. I see the word “heir” used a lot for Alfred in the fandom, but always in reference to Arthur and the British Empire. Now, that makes a lot of sense to me. The first 13 colonies were British. English is still the majority language in the US. America really took off as a global superpower right as the British empire was collapsing. As an American, I have never once seen someone call Alfred “Arthur’s heir” and thought “wait, but where’s Spain in all this?”

The people who wrote this document probably never imagined the British Empire could collapse, or that having an empire wouldn’t always require physical possession of the actual land.

#like one of those animal species that dies after giving birth so the babies can eat it #young America feasts on the corpse of its forebear #Spain in this case #hetalia #hws america #hws england #hws spain #historical hetalia #very tempted to tag Germany but it’s only sort of related to him #the document is publicly available should anybody want it I can post the link #its literally a book though #I know about Manifest Destiny and all I've just never heard it connected directly to Spain like that before #is there a part of the fandom dedicated to 1800s Spain and America drama content?#I don't know that much about Spain personally and I gotta finish the fic that inspired me to read this document first

The Kings feast

As free women of the city, we were invited, and partook in the grand ting this fall. And as custom, the king held a big feast(gille) afterwards for everyone in attendance.

With sausage, minced meat, fried pork, herbal sauces, risen sourdough bread, butter, seasoned flatbread and a stew with this year's harvest of root vegetables and onions.

With plenty of ale to go around, mead, even for the lower tables, and wine for the tables closest to the king's. A night to remember, and one we will sing about for many years to come. Skål!

Chapters: 7/7 Fandom: 15th Century CE RPF, platonic academy of florence, Historical RPF, Original Work Rating: Mature Relationships: Marsilio Ficino/Giovanni Cavalcanti Additional Tags: Pazzi Conspiracy, overwrought catholic gays living in dangerous times, flag that this takes place both in 1478 and in the early 1460s, this is 15th century florence therefore, the approach to m/m relationships is more or less period appropriate, which is to say Giovanni is about 17 and Marsilio 28 when they meet, Marsilio just wants to unify platonic philosophy with catholic theology, Period Typical Violence, lots of feelings about plato and faith and queerness Summary:

It is 1478 and the Pazzi Conspiracy occurred not four weeks ago, Giovanni is made of nerves and has many feelings about Marsilio who may, or may not, have known about the assassination ahead of time. Also, he has many feelings about the nature of Desire and Touch and Love and wants to know why Marsilio hasn't figured out a solution to their relationship dilemma yet.

In 1461/62 Giovanni is meeting Marsilio for the first time and thinks this small, strange man might be worth knowing even if he is utterly odd and disappears for long periods of time in his room while telling everyone that he is utterly fine.

Essentially, this is more or less a bit of a long winded meditation on a relationship.

---

Obligatory Excerpt

‘I meant to apologise,’ Giovanni adds. ‘For not being the most diligent correspondent.’

‘You were busy, I am sure.’ Perhaps an embarrassed smile. ‘Also, I know that I write many letters.’

‘It is more, you would ask questions and I felt I had nothing to say in response that was wise or philosophical. Or, you would ask me to tell you what had happened in my life recently and I would have no news.’

‘No news is no reason not to write. If only to tell me that you are well and in good health. You could write me three lines and I would be happy with it.’ Plucking up a long bit of grass, Marsilio twines it through his fingers. ‘As for a philosophical reply—well, not all our letters need to be serious or even that wise. In fact, it’s best not to be. Aristotle advocates for the importance and power of laughter, as do Socrates and Plato. Though,’ Marsilio smiles, mischievous, ‘it is best not to linger too long on the debate of the role of laughter. Some men become testy about the subject, drives them mad, makes them eat books.’

‘I can’t speak to the consumption of books, but I will be a disappointment—’

‘Never.’

‘But if you want laughter, that is another rarity for me. I am sure you have noticed.’

‘Then it is all the more precious. A stone buried deep on the earth but when it is discovered shines brightest in the sun. But what I mean to say is that we are allowed to be dull and uninspiring when we write one another. Not everything needs to be worthy of intellectual contemplation. I am perfectly stupid half of the time.’

And we are at the end!! The boys are dumb, as always, but there’s some semblance of a resolution.

also, please enjoy my cheesy reference to Name of the Rose ;)

Apparently IG doesn’t share to tumblr or Twitter anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️ so here we go:

I recently read “The Twentieth Wife” and “The Feast of Roses” by Indu Sundaresan. I had read the first book back in high school but had never read the sequel. Both books follow the life of Mehrunissa ( also known as Nur Jahan ), the twentieth and final wife to Jahingar, who was the fourth Mughal Emperor. The first book is just as captivating as I remembered it to be. I absolutely LOVED rereading this historical fiction book. The second book wasn’t as much of a hit for me as the first unfortunately. I was still super into it for the first half but the second half didn’t grab me anymore. I do still want to read the third book though. Which follows Jahingar’s son as emperor after he has finished building the Taj Mahal, where his favorite wife was entombed. And it focuses on his daughters.

Over all I still say you should definitely read the first book. And I’m so glad it stood the test of time for me. And I absolutely loved reading Indian historical fiction written by an Indian Woman. If you all have more book reccs that fall into the category let me know. Thanks ❤️
