I found this by complete chance here around a year ago before promptly proceeding to lose it like a dumbass when I got a new phone. I rediscovered it while going through some old messages with a friend, so I'm posting it here for posterity.

"Written at Saint Michael, in bare, with my own hand, that you may see how good a writer I am." is especially adorable.

Today ( the 9th day of April) is the 611th anniversary of the coronation of Henry V of England in the year 1413 wherein it snowed heavily which some people took as a bad omen while some others foresaw a brilliant reign

Are you Lancaster

1) This is indeed @whiteswanoflancaster — I just have a very strange blogging setup going on that I haven’t bothered to do anything about yet😭

2) a little self-consciously, but yeah! I find it rather strange to take sides in a 550–year–old conflict, but despite that I’d say I support the Lancastrians! This is because:

- While Richard of York was undoubtedly more competent than Henry VI — and while I’d even argue he didn’t want to take the crown — there’s no getting around either the fact that he did or the fact that, in doing so, he completely destabilised the system of government in England, which probably wasn’t a price worth paying — many historians argue that Edward IV and Henry VII introduced a “new monarchy,” their financial systems and tight control of the nobility actually resembled the systems of earlier rulers such as Edward III, and weren’t all that new at all! There isn’t really a huge difference between Edward IV giving land to his brothers and Edward III giving it to his sons, in my opinion — and so the Wars of the Roses and by extension York’s decision to disrupt the system by claiming the crown led to politics taking a bit of a “backward step” towards a less efficient system. Without that disruption, England might have been better able to flourish in the sixteenth century — and there’d have been far less death.

- Their story is just appealing in my opinion! There’s a certain romance to it that caught my attention and refused to let go — and it’s also there at the end of the wars, with Henry Tudor and his allies standing for Lancaster. It’s a little bit shallow, but I do love a good story — and this is certainly that!

- Margaret of Anjou was very, very cool and deserves to be more widely known about and appreciated. Enough said 😭

Selected images from “The Bute Book of Hours”.Above we spot Henry VII, King of England (1485-1509) with his wife, Elizabeth of York, Queen of England (1486-1503) praying with their offspring: Arthur, Prince of Wales (1486-1502), Margaret, Queen of Scots (1489-1541), Henry VIII (1491-1547) and Mary, Queen of France (1496-1533).

We also see Henry VI, King of England (1421-1471) portrayed as saint. Worth noting is that Henry VI was the main link to the Tudors (being the uncle to Henry VII), without whom there would be no dynasty to inherit the claim to English throne. Furthermore, Henry’s sainthood, despite unacknowledged by the Church (notwithstanding Henry VII’s efforts), was already sparkling in the twilight of Edward IV’s reign--much to his dismay as Lauren Johnson, Henry VI’s biographer, states. Yet, to be related to this saint king is also showing how God blessed the rise of a new dynasty. It is also said that Henry VIII was devoted to his great-uncle’s sainthood, in spite of all the reformation process that marked his reign.

This book of hours, probably produced in the last years of the reign of Henry VII, was later given to his son and sucessor, Henry VIII.

You make one joke and suddenly you can't stop thinking of a gothic retelling of the Lancasters

#House of Lancaster #A bit salty that I'm only thinking of this now and not last year when there was like five Shakespeare Horror journals #but c'mon... Mary and Henry's wedding technically began with a kidnapping #Hal is basically a combination of the two people whose deaths haunt Henry the most #the crown is basically the precusor to the haunted house #add a little generational curse in there some hauntings maybe #even if the ghosts aren't seen they are Always There

i have been listening to Numb - Linkin Park on repeat these past few days and to me, it literally sums up pretty well the relationship of the second House of Lancaster (John of Gaunt, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Edward of Lancaster) with each other pretty well

#house of lancaster #john of gaunt #henry iv #henry v #henry vi #edward of lancaster #especially the bridge imo #“and i know i may end up failing too but i know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you” #I've had a House of Lancaster playlist since 2021 (CANNOT BELIEVE it's been that long???) #that i've been meaning to remake for the longest since 99% of the music i straight up hate nowadays #honestly i have songs for basically every historical scenario since it's an essential part of how i can remember so many things at all #in the first place

“Margaret must have been devastated when she heard of Henry’s condition but there was little that she could do and it must have been with a heavy heart that she entered her confinement in London in September.” 

- She Wolves: The Notorious Queens of Medieval England by Elizabeth Norton.

Margaret of Anjou prays before she retires to her confinment. She is quite anxious and worried about her husband's health and the future of the kingdom of England, so I imagined her becoming very vulnerable. It's an intimate moment, she entrusts both her worries and her tears to God, only out of love for her beloved Henry.
