My latest illustration of a knight I retouched to feature the signature colours and faction iconography of “House Lyonheart,” the ruling, dynastic house of “The Kingdom of Albion” in my low-fantasy setting. Both this artwork and it’s associated faction iconography were designed for a low-fantasy world of my original conception, with technology and material culture roughly equivalent to the late medieval and renaissance periods of European history. Where formations of heavily armoured and mounted knights in either suits of full plate armour or heavy coats of chainmail fight alongside professional armies of pikemen and matchlock musketeers. Where medieval-style stone castles are gradually being outsourced in favour of both sumptuous country estates and devoted military fortifications, or “bastions,” due to the technological advancements being made in artillery design. And where fledgling nation-states in the form of both kingdoms and empires look beyond the great oceans and the frontiers of the known world in search of even greater wealth and territory. In context to the canon lore of my low-fantasy world, “House Lyonheart” is the reigning, dynastic house of “The Kingdom of Albion.” An island kingdom loosely inspired by late medieval and early modern England under the Lancaster, Tudor, and Stuart kings, while also drawing fictional sources of inspiration from “Ulthuan,” or the land of the “Asur” or “High Elves” from Warhammer Fantasy as well as “The Kingdom of The Westerlands” under House Lannister in Game of Thrones. “The Kingdom of Albion,” under the hereditary, dynastic rule of the kings of “House Lyonheart,” practices a limited from of consensual government known as “constitutional monarchy.” An unusual form of monarchy where the military, executive, legislative, and fiscal power and authority of the Kings of Albion from House Lyonheart are limited by the constitutional “rule of law,” ultimately derived from the voluminous bodies of “Albionic Common Law” and governed by the constitutional mandates of “The Magna Rhetra” as well as thoroughly regulated by a bicameral legislative body known as “parliament.” Albionic Parliament as the chief, national, legislative body of The Kingdom of Albion consists of an upper “House of Lords” containing official representatives of the greater and lesser dynastic houses of feudal aristocracy and nobility within The Kingdom of Albion, as well as high-ranking ecclesiastical and monastic offices of “The Conservative Church of The New Gods” as the official, state religion of The Kingdom of Albion, as well as a lower “House of Commons,” containing elected representatives of the country gentlemen, the bourgeoisie, and the merchant guilds within The Kingdom of Albion. “The House of Lords” as the senior, upper legislative house of Albionic Parliament was officially formed in the aftermath of a baronial revolt against Edward Shortsword as the 31st King of Albion and Head of House Lyonheart following his calamitous and failed “Wars of Aquitanian Succession” to usurp Maison Williamson as the reigning, dynastic house of Aquitanian Monarchs, alongside the subsequent drafting of “The Magna Rhetra” as a codified constitution governing the voluminous bodies of “Albionic Common Law” that were first codified and implemented by Albionic court scribes and clergymen under the reign of “Artorius the Lyonhearted” as the culturally Southern Aquitanian son and heir apparent to “Hengist Skullsmasher,” The First King of Albion and The Founding Head of House Lyonheart. “The House of Commons” as the lower, junior legislative house of Albionic Parliament, by contrast, was officially formed during the reign of Robert III as the 40th and late King of Albion and the former head of House Lyonheart in the wake of a massive peasant uprising agitated by over 10 years of brutal taxation to repay the extortionate king’s ransom imposed on Robert III by the court representatives of Maison Williamson as the reigning, dynastic household of Aquitanian Monarchs following his capture by the forces of Prince Tancred Williamson, Duc de Chambord in The Battle of Tourangeau, and the subsequent drafting of “The Treaty of Fontainebleau” officially concluding the last Albionic invasion of Le Royaume d’Aquitaine. The Kingdom of Albion’s system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary legislature is a truly unique and exclusive model of government and society in a world where all monarchs and hereditary, dynastic princes based on the continental mainland of “The Civilized World” aspire to the example of “Maison Williamson du Royaume d’Aquitaine” as the “paragon,” “exemplar,” “ideal,” or otherwise “model” of a strong, powerful, prestigious, prolific, and illustrious “absolute monarchy.” A model of absolute monarchy that is distinctly characterized by a combination of their ancient, carefully cultivated and manicured political and religious alliance forged with “The Conservative Church of The New Gods” based in The Holy Sept of Romulus as the former capital, civilizational kernel, and titular namesake of both The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Republic and “The Empire of Mankind Primus” that once dominated the vast majority of “The Known World” during the long forgotten epoch of “Classical Antiquity.” The superimposition of “The Aquitanian Parlements,” or “royal law courts,” over the provincial jurisdiction of both the feudal, aristocratic, legal traditions and customs of Northern Aquitaine, which collectively descend from the synthesis of Teutogen Tribal Customs with Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan legal traditions and jurisprudence, as well as the old, Classical Romulan law codes of Southern Aquitaine. With both forms of Regional Aquitanian Law being ultimately left over from the closing centuries of The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan “Empire of Mankind Primus” and it’s gradual, eventual collapse at the hands of Teutogen, Norscan, and Moravian tribal invaders during the twilight of “Classical Antiquity” in the long and storied, recorded histories of “The Civilized World.” And the creation of The Civilized World’s first national, professional, state-funded, “royal” army since the historic mass mutiny and the consequent, official dissolution of The Romulan Legions of Classical Antiquity under the Classical Romulan Imperator of Mankind “Demetrius Superbus” as the Classical Romulan Imperator who first prescribed “The Faith of The New Gods” based on the old, Classical Romulan rite and liturgy originally formalized and decreed in the theological reforms traditionally attributed to the Classical Romulan Imperator of Mankind “Cassadorian the Great” as the official “state religion” of The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan “Empire of Mankind Primus.” His official founding of “The Conservative Church of The New Gods” as an administrative institution, or “organ,” within the civil magistracy of The Classical Romulan Empire of Mankind, and his equally historical and infamous “land donation” with the consequent consecration and the construction of the first “Holy Sept” in Romulus. The Kingdom of Aquitaine’s national, professional, state-funded, “royal army” was created using the administrative, legislative, and fiscal power and support of “The Aquitanian Parlements,” or “royal law courts,” at the expense of the feudal, private, aristocratic levies of Le Royaume d’Aquitaine’s “great houses” of “feudal princeps” or “feudal magnates.” Although officially subscribed to “The Conservative Church of The New Gods” based on the old, Classical Romulan rite and liturgy originally formalized and decreed under the Classical Romulan Imperator of Mankind “Cassadorian the Great” during his “Cassadorian Reforms,” and officially seated within “The Holy Sept” of the old capital, civilizational nucleus, and titular namesake of The Cosmopolitan, Classical Romulan Republic and “The Empire of Mankind Primus” since the original founding of The Conservative Church of The New Gods as an administrative institution, or “organ” within the Classical Romulan civil magistracy by the Classical Romulan Imperator of Mankind “Demetrius Superbus.” The Kingdom of Albion under the hereditary reign of Edmund IV as The 41st and Reigning King of Albion and The Current Head of House Lyonheart has officially opened The Kingdom of Albion’s borders to religious asylum for any religious subscribers to The “Reformed” Faith of The New Gods based on the theological reforms officially preached and published by Karl Von Luxembourg, a learned doctor of theology based at The University of Wörtzburch within The Empire of Mankind Proper, as well as the former heir apparent and the official head of “Hohenluxembourg Des Königreich Schönbrunn.” The only hereditary monarchy within The Empire of Mankind Secundus besides “the hereditary state” and “the dynastic house” of The Emperor-Elect, himself. As well as religious subscribers to any of The “Dissenter” Faiths of The New Gods ideologically descended from “The Dissenter Theology” of the Aquitanian vagabond Cassyon Dufresne, a more radical theological reformer officially seated in The Cathedral of Les Œillets in “The Borderlands Confederacy” of culturally “Austere” or “Northern Imperial” states strategically situated between “Der Reichstaat” or “Nymphenburg” as the hereditary state of “The Imperial Household.” “The Exclusive” or otherwise “the preferential” candidates for the formal elections for the title of “Emperor of Mankind,” and “Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg” under “Hohenbiermann.” The last, and arguably the most reluctant constituent member state and hereditary, dynastic, “great house” of “Imperial Princeps” or “Imperial Magnates” within The Empire of Mankind Proper since the stunning and final conclusion of “The Albic Crusade” waged against the apostate, Albic tribes religiously subscribed to the druidic, cult worship of “Erdøk” or “The Great Forest” east of The Empire of Mankind Proper and indigenous to “The Southern Imperial March” or “Die Sudetenmark.” The climactic “Siege of Brenna,” and the consequential, de jure installment of the great Imperial general Friedrich Biermann as “Der erster Markgraf von Brannenborg und Der Gründungschef von Hohenbiermann” over the lands originally pawned and then permanently transferred by the illegitimate issue of The Late House Bartholemew as The Last King of The Midlands to “The Imperial Household” as the hereditary, “Imperial Princeps” or “Imperial Magnates” for “Der Reichstaat” or “Nymphenburg.” Despite officially opening The Kingdom of Albion’s borders to religious asylum for any religious subscribers to the multitude, or the plethora of “Reformed” and “Dissenter” churches of The New Gods fleeing religious persecution and marginalization at the hands of religiously Conservative monarchs and aristocrats. The fourteen year old Edmund IV had already been officially proclaimed as “The Defender of The Faith” by the elderly and ailing Archpatriarch Vexillarius IV as “The 299th and Reigning Bishop of Romulus” and “The Current Head of The Conservative Church of The New Gods” for his written thesis’ openly condemning the theological reforms of Karl Von Luxembourg as the titular “Great Reformer” to the religious establishment of, and the institutions of organized religion within The Conservative Church of The New Gods, as well as Edmund IV’s own maternal grandfather Friedrich I, “Der erster und herrschend König von Middenland und Der Gründungschef von Hohenrotbart” and his older cousin Albrecht Von Biermann, “Der herrschend Markgraf von Brannenborg,” “Der momentan Chef von Hohenbiermann,” and secular, hereditary “Kurfürst Des Selbst Kaiserreich der Menscheit” for their combined actions in both forcibly and unlawfully confiscating the lands, property, and treasuries of any ecclesiastical and monastic clergy of The Conservative Church of The New Gods based within Das Königreich Middenland and Die Markgrafschaft Brannenborg, respectively, for openly refusing to submit before the formal renunciation of their spiritual ties of fealty to The Holy Sept in Romulus as the first and second hereditary, dynastic rulers in both the recorded histories and the geographic enormity of “The Known World” to formally decree state legislation to officially convert to “The Luxembourgian Reformation” on behalf of both their houses and their subjects. The Kingdom of Albion’s unique and exclusive model of “constitutional monarchy” and “parliamentary legislature,” although severely limiting the military, executive, legislative, fiscal, and religious ambitions of House Lyonheart as the reigning dynasty of Kings of Albion. Especially by contrast to the aspiring absolute monarchies and aristocracies based on the continental mainland of “The Civilized World.” The hereditary subjects to The Kings of Albion from House Lyonheart are unironically exempt from all the extortionate taxation and brutal economic recessions that inherently coincide with the perpetual warfare, cutthroat political intrigues, and brutal religious upheaval that characterize daily life on the continental mainland of The Civilized World. With Albionic Parliament’s persistence on consistently vetoing any taxation officially levied by state representatives of the crown in order to fuel House Lyonheart’s continental ambitions. Edmund IV as The 41st and Reigning King of Albion and The Current Head of House Lyonheart has used the legal restrictions imposed upon him by the constitutional mandates of The Magna Rhetra and Albionic Parliament to conceive of a policy of overseas colonialism and maritime trade. By granting “letters of marque” or “colonial charters” to “trade companies” of merchants, traders, and professionals willing to invest their own capital in order to found and develop colonies and territories in overseas trade theatres, Edmund IV, as The 41st and Reigning King of Albion and The Current Head of House Lyonheart has essentially developed a far more efficient, or otherwise effective alternative policy to pursing House Lyonheart’s traditional, historic military and territorial ambitions against the monarchs and princes based on the continental mainland of “The Civilized World.” A policy that Albionic Parliament, and above all the country gentlemen, bourgeoisie, and merchant guilds collectively represented within the lower, junior “House of Commons” are far more willing to support as the chief, national, legislative body of The Kingdom of Albion. These “letters of marque” or “colonial charters,” as officially granted by Edmund IV as The 41st and Reigning King of Albion and The Current Head of House Lyonheart would essentially grant “trade companies” of merchants, traders, and professionals legally exclusive monopolies in overseas trade theatres to found and develop overseas colonies and territories in order to facilitate maritime trade back with The Kingdom of Albion, while also being granted a significant degree of political and military autonomy over any acquired and developed overseas colonial territories. Amongst the largest, most lucrative overseas colonial possessions officially founded and developed by The Kingdom of Albion’s and House Lyonheart’s “trade companies” include “New Albion” under “The King’s Landing Trade Company,” as well as “Arcadia” under “The World’s End Trade Company.” To secure the lucrative trade established between any overseas colonies and territories officially founded and developed by his majesty’s “trade companies” with The Kingdom of Albion, Edmund IV as The 41st and Reigning King of Albion and The Current Head of House Lyonheart has diverted most of the annual, national, state budget for The Kingdom of Albion’s traditionally strong, standing military in favour of founding and developing a national, professional, state-funded, “royal” navy, in contradiction to the traditional and historical policies of all Kings of Albion before him. Edmund IV has also “subsidized,” or otherwise “invested in” local merchant guilds devoted to the construction of ships and the production of maritime goods and resources on an industrial scale to give both his growing professional navy and his trade companies the necessary assets they need in order to both secure and facilitate the lucrative trade established between any acquired and developed overseas colonies and territories with The Kingdom of Albion, itself. Despite, or rather because of Edmund IV’s policy of overseas colonialism and maritime trade, as well as the necessity of both financing and developing a growing professional navy at the expense of The Kingdom of Albion’s traditionally strong, standing army. Specifically for the purpose of securing any maritime trade lanes officially established between The Kingdom of Albion with it’s multitude, or plethora of overseas colonial possessions. The Kingdom of Albion under the hereditary, dynastic reign of House Lyonheart oddly continues to employ peasant levies of billmen and longbowmen in an age where both the continental, mainland states of “The Civilized World,” as well as their reigning, dynastic houses of monarchs and aristocratic princes have moved on to employing professional regiments of pikemen and matchlock musketeers as the line, core, and bulk of their campaigning armies. However, in likeness to the continental states based on the mainland of “The Civilized World,” as well as the reigning, dynastic houses that rule them. The Kingdom of Albion under the hereditary, dynastic rule of House Lyonheart has successfully outsourced it’s antiquated arsenal of classical and feudal-style windlass artillery pieces such as ballistae, catapults, trebuchets, mangonels, and onagers with the more novel, yet far more potent and brutally efficient gunpowder-based, siege artillery pieces such as bombards, culverins, mortars, chambered demi-cannons, and even the dreaded “basilisks.” Despite the seemingly antiquated military technology and tactics employed by the infantry regiments serving both House Lyonheart in particular, and The Kingdom of Albion in general. The peasant levies of billmen and longbowmen indigenous to The Kingdom of Albion more often than not rival, if not occasionally outperform the more modern, professional, pike-and-shotte infantry regiments employed by both the continental powers of The Civilized World and the reigning, dynastic houses that rule them. Most notably those employed by “Maison Williamson du Royaume d’Aquitaine,” as well as “Die Sudkreuzritterstaaten,” or “The Teutogen” or “Southern Austere” cultural and linguistic bloc of hereditary, dynastic states such as “Hohenrotbart Des Königreich Middenland” and “Hohenbiermann Der Markgrafschaft Brannenborg.”

Edmund x Rosie + kid
a note on the bg here!
ok, so obv he could've been born after ~everything if edmund and rosie end up working things out, which is def possible, but for the drama, im saying smth else entirely! alksdjflksdjafdsf now, obv things will probs change etc esp if/when edmund tells her abt what really happened to her dad re: his own involvement etc, BUT! as things currently stand bc i can guess but not really ~know how she'll react till we get there, imma say mr fiachna (which ~also means raven btw so he's named after both his dad and his granddad <3) was conceived like...probs right abt now, actually, or maybe at or right before the ball, in the timeline, since i think its probs safe to say that would've been ~before the big reveal situation haha (also not sure abt surname bc if there was some sort of ~secret marriage -- which ~does feel ~v rosie ngl but idk if it feels edmund or not hahaha -- or whatever, he'd be varmont, but if not ig malconaire, or if there's a bastard name in this world...that hahaha not me like 'what if, if there are regional bastard names, 'macdara' aka 'son of oak' is the malconaire bastard name' oops ;DDD jk jk) anyway, since we've plotted the witch!reveal situation (that awk moment where in this au roderick unwittingly almost burned his unborn grandson oops), imma say he was born while rosie was on the run etc so!! that was doubtless suuuuch a fun time! lkjasdkfjlksdjf
Name: Fiachna Varmont Malconaire ????
Gender: Male
General Appearance: it is a strange thing that, although not particularly tall, fiachna's bearing gives the impression of height. born hunted and on the run, fiachna learned early the value of the appearance of strength and confidence at his mother's knee as she, herself, was learning these lessons. fiachna tends to wear a bit of a mask when with strangers, never quite trusting due to the lessons of his past, but when he does smile, it lights up the room. tho the shade of his eyes are his mother's, their shape, and indeed, that of his upper face is owing entirely to his father from his cheekbones to the top of his head and well as his aquiline nose. his jaw and chin are far more a reflection of his malconaire roots (hehe, see what i did there? ;D), however, echoing rosie's own, so that he can readily be said to take after both parents.
Personality: fiachna's early childhood was a serious and dangerous affair, a fact which forever marked his psyche much to his mother's great grief, who only ever wanted joy for her chilren. always intent upon being helpful, fiachna is a deeply deliberate person, carefully considering his moves before he makes them and thus somewhat balancing rosie's much more impulsive nature. still, amongst those he knows well, he is quick to joy and laughter, and even displays a streak of rashness all his own. for all the fear fiachna knew growing up, after all, he never wanted for love, and he knows how to give it in spades to those who earn it. still, there is an undeniable well of anger inside him, and fiachna harbors a secret deep-seated fear that some dark echo of his grandfather lingers deep inside his blood, unable to break free so long as he tamps stridently down upon it...
Special Talents: fiachna inherited his father's wits, and is nigh unbeatable in any games of strategy, but he also learned early on the extreme significance to mobility and speed in a life on the run, and is thus a well practiced runner and horserider, preferring swiftness and flexibility over strength.
Who they like better: rosie (i think he just...knows her better, frankly, and probs projects some of his varmont-related fears onto edmund probs, since he grew up being hunted by roderick and yeahh fun)
Who they take after more: edmund
Personal Head canon: (note: he's another calainon-malconaire kid so another seer candidate which is fun bc roderick's rolling in his grave at the thought of ~his grandson~ a witch!!!! lkajsdfkljlsjf but who knows!! anyway!!!) he loves, loves, loooooves bad jokes like...really really terrible puns and like utter stupidisms! which is weird bc generally he's v witty/snarky but!! then w ppl he cares abt he'll just throw down like theee worst not even dad joke but full on granddad joke you've ever heard, the ultimate in bad jokes and giggle like so stupidly hard till even tho it was NOT funny you're laughing too bc he's in tears and this whole situation is totally ridiculous. like...we're talking such a bad joke ~i wouldnt even find it funny, and we all know i love dumb puns. its the worst. and you love it. bc of the way he tells it! these are the moments you really see his mom in him, when he's just unleashing full dorky silliness
Face Claim: Harry Collett
bonus image of a modern au involving some kind of time traveling shenanigans also since theyre like the same age here ;D (also if this aint a classic rosie expression <3):
#kid meme#ask#edmund varmont#about#lore#ooc#honestly pr pleased w this fc ngl bc ive thought for awhile he looks like timothee a bit and then i saw this pic w her and i was like whaaa#alsjdkfklsdjfjklsdjfdsf#anyway this is the best i can do re: fcs its downhill from here im afraid sdlajfkslkdf ;D

What’s your opinion on Pompeii then
tbh, i dont feel necessarily qualified to discuss the ethics around pompeii.
as i stated in the post, ocean liners and shipwrecks are one of my special interests so i know quite a lot about that kind of thing. ive watched a lot of interviews with survivors of wrecks or family members of those who died. this includes victims of titanic where family members have said they doont watch folks going down there to gawk at the wreck. there are also several shipwrecks that cannot be treated as tourist hotspots either because of respect for the dead or to avoid things like plundering or vandalism, like the fitz or the greek trading ship in the black sea.
because of all that, i feel that i know enough about the topic to speak on it and i will defer to what the survivors and the families of victims say.
im not that well-versed on pompeii beyond what most people know. ive never come across any discussion about it as a tourist spot or as part of "dark tourism', so my opinion is that my opinion on that matter is worthless.
if anyone who does know more about it, id love to hear what you think about it as a tourist spot.
#anon#pompeii#titanic#edmund fitzgerald#shipwrecks#dark tourism#we very briefly covered pompeii for about five minutes in a geography lesson when i was 12#and ive watched the puppet history video on ir#and thats the extent of my knowledge#so my opinion is not worth much in this discussion#id rather defer to those who know more

The new queen's white falcon was on prominent display throughout the pageant, resting on a bed of Tudor roses. Although it is now synonymous with Anne and the Boleyns in general, Henry had only granted it to her on her elevation to the marquessate of Pembroke. It was a fitting choice because the same bird had long been an emblem of Anne's Irish ancestors, the Butlers, earls of Ormond. It also had strong royal associations and had been used as an emblem by the celebrated warrior king Edward III, as well as by Henry's maternal grandfather, Edward IV, with whom he strongly identified.
Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I (2023), Tracy Borman
#tracy borman#anne boleyn#no one ever mentions this but yeah it edward iv's symbol which#probably another interplay with henry utilizing symbols and titles of his family to relay significance#(pembroke and richmond etc)#for anne this means lancastrian (pembroke) and yorkist (falcon in the fetterlock specifically was edward iv's symbol iirc)#interesting bcus like most her own lineage had ties to both#elizabeth tilney was yorkist and william boleyn seems to have survived the cull of transfer between powers#(falcon with the open fetterlock#sorry... insignia? is that the right word?)#badge? whichever. he used it .#it seems to have originated with the first duke of york (edmund of langley)#henry viii#henrician#1530s#*most nobles

The actor Junius Brutus Booth in costume as Edmund Mortimer in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1 (1823), painted by John B. Neagle
#shakespeare#the henriad#art#this was john wilkes booth's father.................. so for that reason i will not be tagging the actor by name lol#idk WHAT kind of weirdos i would invite to my blog by doing that but for historical transparency i did cite the actor#listen. i. he died in 1852 i bet he sucked as a person but he didn't assassinate anybody okay#the portrait is bitchin and i found it while looking up#henry iv part 1#i henry iv#william shakespeare#edmund mortimer#john b. neagle#i wish there were more resources to learn about the lady mortimer#i also wish she had more actual dialogue in the play i find her so interesting#i wonder what elizabethan performances were like of her!!! bc all of her dialogue is just [speaks in welsh] or [sings in welsh]#it makes it so hard to imagine her as a reader. normally i like the abstract exercise of envisioning plays in my head but#wo her own words it's so much less of an approachable challenge#i don't even speak welsh too#and i wonder what the history of her being represented on stage is like#did they normally have an actual welsh actor/actress play her? i sort of DOUBT it was originally like that in the 1590s#but im sure if it's a high-budget production done today it's only natural to seek out a welsh-speaking actress and have her collaborate#w her own dialogue? right?#it's so surreal too bc shakespeare's works almost never acknowledge differences in language#it rarely has much to do w the plot#the only other passing reference i can think of off the top of my head is 'twas greek to me' and that was offstage someone spoke greek#in julius caesar#idk!!!! man!!!!! i just find it interesting#most of shakespeare's characters wouldn't have even natively spoken english so it's just never mentioned#but in the history plays. well of course they spoke english they were englishmen! except those celtic ppls#who always come up as just. iconic charismatic bastards and rebels. it's a very prejudicial interpretation but i have fun w it

This can cover all events and media that a Tudor family member is present, so from Owen Tudor to Elizabeth Tudor, and may include spouses and acknowledged children of direct members of the Tudor family (if unsure who we cover please check our Family page). We have attempted to make it as broad as possible and no pressure if you are late with some of the days, we will still reblog.
