I was a medieval princess and I had a French tennis instructor named Corset, but he insisted it was pronounced “Core-SAY”.

Medieval peasants did not behave in a manner modern social scientists think of as optimal for their circumstances.

--Barbara A. Hanawalt, The Ties That Bound: Peasant Families in Medieval England.

(Dr. Hanawalt explains that there is no real evidence that English peasants were living in or even particularly acknowledging the existence of extended kinship groups in the 14th-15th century, no matter how much anthropologists think they should have been.)

What an incredible voyage through history as over 100 love letters from the 18th century have finally been opened! Penned over 250 years ago, these letters offer an extraordinary window into the lives of French Navy sailors and their loved ones.

Historical Mermay prompt 4: French Medieval Mermaid

I was stumped for a while on the direction for this one. French Medieval sounds more broad than it probably is. Either way I eventually picked up on the repetition of blonde women in blue Houppelandes and decided to try it out for myself. Making sure to have long decorative sleeves, and of course (I can never resist) a whole lot of princess hair.

christ in the winepress

in the 'bible moralisée de philippe le hardi', france, 15th c.

source: Paris, BnF, Français 166, fol. 123v

(footnote for transparency/academic integrity: these miniatures do stand next to each other in the manuscript, but in reverse order, and i'm not entirely sure how they relate to each other and what or who is being pressed in the one i put in second place for humorous effect)

UNHINGE YOUR JAW

the act of translating can be a horror. acts of creation can be a horror. many things that are capable of being eaten are also capable of rot and decay so unhinge your jaw.

✧ The neglected Margaret of Scotland, Dauphine of France tried to centre her thoughts upon her own interests. She loved poetry above all things and gathered round her several women who occupied themselves with literary composition. (…) Alas, the French Court lacked the simplicity and purity which ought ever to surround a woman of Margaret's idealistic nature. Her love of the beautiful and unusual was to lead her into difficulties and suffering. She liked to sit evening after evening with the young courtiers and her maidens, reciting verse and singing love-songs, trying to keep out of her life the sordid ambitions and ugly intrigue which played a large part in the doings of others, and to bring into it some of the artistic atmosphere and culture she found congenial. – The Dauphines of France by Frank Hamel
