Queen Elizabeth I, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Queen Victoria, please? Lol, without context that looks weird. 😉

Hello! :D Ahaha, don’t worry about it.

Queen Elizabeth I. : What’s your favorite period drama?

Alright, I’ve watched a lot of period dramas so I’m probably going to forget something, sorry. In no particular oder I’d say:

Gentleman Jack: Perfection does not exists, but this show comes pretty close. Excellent acting, realistic characters (Yes, Anne Lister is the heroine and she is classist because this is the XIXth century and she is a landowner) and the soundtrack is also lovely. The hill-top scene in the eight episode redefined the concept of romance. The only downside is probably the mutton-leg sleeves but eh, fashion.

The Tudors: Does it have its flaws? Sure, but this is still one of the most compelling rendition of Tudor history. Their Thomas Cromwell? Iconic, thanks James Frain. All the characters are depicted as complex human beings, there are no saints, which is more than any shows have done with the same topic tbh. Ah yes, Dormer did a terrific job with Anne Boleyn and to this day this is still my favourite performance of her.

Black Sails: THIS SHOW. Another show that comes pretty close to perfection. I must admit that the first season left me kind of lukewarm, but from the second season onward? It just get better and better. Incredible storytelling, lot of queer characters and a splendid soudtrack. Ah yes: James Flint is an icon and his “freedom in the darkness” speech kind of changed me as a person.

Special mentions to:

Spartacus: Yes it’s over the top and kind of gory sometimes, but me and @oketipoketifafifurni​ cried so much over the last season. And you know what? It’s one of the first period drama show that not only doesn’t kill off the gay couple but makes them survive until the end. Which, in this show, is  A LOT.

Borgia: Faith and Fear: Yes it’s (very) over the top and kind of gory just as Spartacus, but their rendition of the Renaissance zeitgeist is splendid, plus I really liked the costumes. The cast is also incredible tbh.

 Harlots: The first two seasons are very interesting and tackle a lot of topics often ignored. Sadly, the third (and last) season is a little bit all over the place.

The White Queen: Is Philippa Gregory biased storytelling annoying? Yes, sure. But I get to watch Rebecca Ferguson doing witchy things and wearing lovely gowns to a nice soundtrack, and sometimes this is enough.

 The Name of the Rose (2019): Lovely soundtrack and cast, overall an excellent adaptation. I’ve liked it far more than the movie.

Vikings: I’ve stopped watching it but I love its first 3 seasons! We need more mythology inspired shows tbh.

I’ll stop here because this is already long enough lol, I’m so sorry.

Eleanor of Aquitaine : Who should play your favorite historical person?

I’m choosing Elizabeth I because I did my bachelor thesis on her :P From existing adaptations, I’m partial to Marleen Loohse, even is she doesn’t have dark eyes, which is kind of my thing when it comes to casting Elizabeth. So the answer is: Marleen with a pair of dark contact lenses :P

Queen Victoria : Favorite historical fiction?

Does Moby Dick counts, since it’s set in XIXth century? :P No, well, I really like Wolf Hall (H. Mantel) even if the author has an huge bias against the Boleyns; the prose is really lovely and the book captures perfectly the historical context.

Thanks for asking! Sadly, when it gets to historical stuff I’m definitely too chatty lol.
