It's almost Valentine's! I was able to finish the Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou piece for my Wars of the Roses series <3

Henry VI tends to be brushed off as a mentally-ill and ineffective monarch to this day, and it's difficult to find information that does not infantalize or malign him. Margaret of Anjou, my favorite figure from this period, would was a steadfast pillar of support for Henry until the day he died. A lot of historians paint Margaret as only supporting her husband to secure the throne for their son, but I find that narrative difficult to be the only reason. Margaret campaigned for Henry's release from captivity tirelessly and worked extremely hard to gather support for his reign and even raised armies for him. While their relationship doesn't have the passion and flare that Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville did, I think their kind of devotion is exemplary in royal diplomatic marriages from the period.

#art #wars of the roses #henry vi #margaret of anjou #english history #english costume #watercolor #colored pencil #artists on tumblr #anyway justice for henry vi every account i read of him either speculated on his mental illness or his lack of sex drive but usually both #also margaret is depicted as this like stone cold bitch thank youuuuu shakespeare

Thinking about Henry V attending his first parliament as Prince of Wales at 13 years old and being bored out of his skull and imagining how much worse it would've been for Richard II, who attended his first parliament as Prince of Wales at 9 years old.

Thinking about Henry VI attending parliament as a literal infant too.

#verily they should have been in the medieval playground #richard ii #henry v #henry vi #all of this is iirc #i think richard might have just turned up been invested as prince of wales and gone home #and i'm pretty sure hal attended parliament when he was younger (i want to say around 9?) before becoming prince of wales #(possibly with his brother thomas?) #but he could have probably slacked off a lot more then because he wouldn't have quite as on display as the earl of derby's son #blog

“I think his perceived flaws as a king are to do with his great genius, which is that he can hold these two conflicting ideas in his head and have love, essentially, for both parties. That was considered weak at the time, because it means he can’t make decisions in the aggressive-minded way that is required in medieval England. Despite wearing the crown, Henry’s place is not to be a king. His primary evolution is through that realisation. He says at the end that all he wants to do is spend his last days in devotion.”

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.

Being in a Shakespeare class is great because everyone else in the class is a nerd. One of my classmates posited a theory that Iago is either in league with the devil or actually Satan and they had convinced most of the class by the end. I can talk about how Henry VI did absolutely nothing wrong and people know what I’m talking about and we can talk about how it’s hard to know what’s really true because of all the propaganda. Ophelia is the entire class’s girl, we all love her. It’s fantastic.
