THE CHILDREN OF KING GEORGE III & QUEEN CHARLOTTE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

The royal couple welcomed a total of fifteen children together, but sadly not all of them survived into adulthood. Two, Prince Octavius and Prince Alfred, passed away in infancy, at the ages of 2 and 4, respectively, from smallpox. Later on, Princess Amelia also sadly died young, albeit it at the age of 27, after succumbing to tuberculosis. As for when their brood started to arrive, it seems George and Charlotte wasted no time in getting to know one another and less than a year into their marriage, on 12 August 1762

"our dear little blasted seaman"

It is somewhat refreshing to know that even royal siblings in the 18th century were sometimes not all that different from brothers and sisters nowadays.

George, Prince of Wales to his brother Frederick, Duke of York, July 31, 1783:

My best compliments & love to our dear little blasted seaman [Prince William]. Do not tell him what I call him upon any account.

A. Aspinall, D. Litt, editors, The Correspondence of George, Prince of Wales 1770-1812, Volume 1, 1770-1789, Cassell & Company Ltd., 1963, p. 130-131.

Prince Frederick and Prince William were both in Hannover at this point in time, to further their education and many letter were exchanges between the family in England and Hannover.

A Brief History of British Coronations 1902-1937

On 6 May King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony that has its origins dating back a thousand years to King Edgar the Peaceful. It will also be the first coronation in nearly 70 years and much like his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation which was the first to be televised, Charles III’s coronation will be the first to utilise both social media and YouTube as well as…

Friends, enemies, comrades, Jacobins, Monarchist, Bonapartists, gather round. We have an important announcement:

The continent is beset with war. A tenacious general from Corsica has ignited conflict from Madrid to Moscow and made ancient dynasties tremble. Depending on your particular political leanings, this is either the triumph of a great man out of the chaos of The Terror, a betrayal of the values of the French Revolution, or the rule of the greatest upstart tyrant since Caesar.

But, our grand tournament is here to ask the most important question: Now that the flower of European nobility is arrayed on the battlefield in the sexiest uniforms that European history has yet produced (or indeed, may ever produce), who is the most fuckable?

The bracket is here: full bracket and just quadrant I

Builders Find Time Capsule Containing 19th-Century ‘Coins and Documents’ in Germany

Builders have stumbled across a German time capsule containing documents and coins from the second half of the 19th century.

The glass capsule was found on Tuesday, March 7, during work on a roundabout in the town of Oława in Lower Silesia when workers removed a previously existing historical column.

Contained in a transparent glass container, documents in German bearing the date 1864 and coins from the second half of the 19th century can be seen.

Several gold, silver and copper coins are visible in the transparent container, but they will only be able to be identified precisely when the capsule is opened.

Oława District Council said: “During the work of moving part of the column, which now stands on the site of a kindergarten, and where a new roundabout is being built - a time capsule was found.

“What exactly is inside the glass container is not yet known. Photos show coins and a paper document. The find will now be dealt with by archaeologists."

However, according to treasure-hunting website Zwiadowca Historii, one of the coins is a silver thaler known as a "vereinsthaler" and was minted in 1866 in Vienna during the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I.

Oława is a historic town in Lower Silesia and was the German town Ohlau before World War Two.

In the 19th century and even earlier, Germans were fond of burying time capsules inside construction projects that they were particularly proud of, for example, bridges and church steeples.

They often included coins and official documents in these capsules, and sometimes handwritten notes and photographs as a way of immortalising their civic efforts for future generations.

Such time capsules are periodically discovered in parts of Poland.

In May 2020, the oldest time capsule ever discovered in Europe from 1797 and equal in age to the oldest in the world was discovered in Lower Silesia during repair work in a former evangelist church in Ziębice.

Meanwhile, in 2019, a time capsule dating back to 1851 buried by the Prussian king Frederick William IV was sensationally discovered during work on an historic 19th-century bridge in the northern Polish town of Tczew.

La Fayette and the Monarchy – a Summary

La Fayette’s relationship with the Monarchy, both in France and elsewhere in Europe, was often a rather strained one. While he was not opposed to the institution of the monarchy as such, he often found himself at odds with the ruling families. But regardless of the times and the relationship then existing between La Fayette and Europe’s crowned heads – there was almost always also a certain comedic or even ironical element to it.

So here is a little list of some of La Fayette “best moments”:

La Fayette insulted the future Louis XVIII (and angered his father-in-law in the process)

La Fayette on the future William IV (aka the “Royal Little Tar”)

La Fayette trying to apologize to Louis XVI after going against his direct orders not to sail to America

La Fayette at a dinner party with Lord Cornwallis, Frederick, Duke of York and Frederick the Great

La Fayette featured in rather explicit prints with Marie Antoinette

Queen Charlotte’s approval of La Fayette’s imprisonment

La Fayette’s descendant currently sits on the Belgian Throne
