The open of the Parliament in the reign of King Henry III of England. 

Be noticed, according to author Darren Baker, that in 1254, “Henry names his wife Eleanor of Provence regent before he goes abroad. She becomes the first woman to attend parliament and orders the sheriffs to elect local knights, the first time commoners and the monarchy converge under a democratic mandate.”

B-b-but Rhaenyra's siblings were always in danger and even if she didn't think she'd need to kill them she definitely would have because of all these historical figures who killed or imprisoned those they saw as a threat to their claim:

[Insert list of historical rulers who were not named heirs and who came into power during a power vacuum or crisis where there was either no clear line of succession or where they used force to supplant the line of succession. Also insert list of competing heirs who refused to renounce their claim.]

#the irony of using Henry vs the fucking PLANTAGENETS is not lost on me #Yes very smart historian tell us ALL ABOUT the Plantagenets would you??????? #& honestly if Mary had stfu about being the “rightful Queen” while she was at QE's mercy she had a pretty good chance of QE naming her heir #asoiaf #hotd #team black #asoiaf fandom #anti team green #fire and blood #anti team green stans

Tudor Week Day 7: Fave Mentor/Mentee Relationship: Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury and her charge Mary I

“On 28 May Mary suffered another blow to her emotions. Lady Salisbury was taken from her cell and executed, protesting that she did not know what her crime had been- there had been no trial and no opportunity for her to protest against the Act of Attainder…. Her [Margaret’s] last speech was a prayer for the king, queen, prince and Mary. There is no direct evidence of Mary’s reaction, but unless she were completely heartless, which is not the impression to be gained from her letters or general demeanor, she grieved deeply for the woman who had been her “second mother” and who had loved and cherished her since childhood…” - Melita Thomas, “The King’s Pearl”

What do you feel about the house of york

I feel like it's a medieval dynasty that one a war. That's about it.

I also think that Richard Duke of York was nothing more than a jealous cousin that saw the perfect opportunity to climb the ladder and took it, justly paying the price. Edward IV's anger over his and his brother's death is understandable and so were his actions. Too bad that he didn't saw that the Duke of York's ruthless ambitions had trickled down to his sons Richard and George before they tried it with him. I think the Woodvilles were overtly greedy and took too much of the hand that fed them making the nobility hate them, and they also paid for it. I mean, arranging prestige marriages for every single Woodville? I get it, one of them was the Queen, but come on now, they clearly overplayed.

On the whole, I find this representation of the Yorks as this typical Good HeirsTM that took their rightful place on the throne and stepped up through harsh times that persists so much to this day lame and reductive. The truth of the matter is, they were never more just and GoodTM than the Lancasters. The Lancasters successfully organized a coup and sat the throne, the Yorks did the same, demonizing Henry VI and Queen Margaret of Anjou through propaganda as a freak and an overly ambitious femme fatale respectively, while casting their teenage son as a cruel bastard. All for defending fiercely what was by right theirs (we have Shakespeare to blame for that as well).

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.
