#Elizabeth Seymour

[edmundhoward]

the fact that elizabeth is lady ughtred just hits for me. the post-apocalyptic anachronism of an anglo-saxon name at the tudor court, borne by a seymour (upstarts, according to some). katy cubitt has talked about wulfstan’s ‘sermon of the wolf to the english’ — “this world is in haste and the end approaches” — “there was a strong feeling […] that the millennium did indeed mark the beginning of the end”. as the anglo-saxons were left with the cultural remnants of the roman empire, so were the tudors with the dissolution of monasteries in the wake of the rejection of the pope’s authority; what do you do when the old world has died and you’re left to rebuild from the ruins? for the anglo-saxons, apocalyptic angst was inevitable, for elizabeth seymour it was requesting the lands of dissolved houses (including ones not yet torn down, for profit) wearing jewels depicting lot’s fleeing the destruction of sodom.

“The brisk young widow comes to court, to help the family in their campaign. He’d thought they called her Lizzie, this young woman, but it seems that was just her husband’s name for her, and to her family she’s Bess. He is glad, though he doesn’t know why. It is unreasonable of him to think other women shouldn’t have his wife’s name. Bess is no great beauty, and darker than her sister, but she has a confident vivacity that compels the eye.

‘Be kind to Jane, Master Secretary,’ Bess says. ‘She is not proud, as some people think. They wonder why she doesn’t speak to them, but it’s only because she can’t think what to say.’

‘But she will speak to me.’

‘She will listen.’

‘An attractive quality in women.’

‘An attractive quality in anyone. Wouldn’t you say? Though Jane above all women looks to men to tell her what she should do.’

‘Then does she do it?’

‘Not necessarily.’ She laughs. Her fingertips brush the back of his hand. ‘Come. She is ready for you.”

From December 1548 the fifteen-year-old Elizabeth was the head of her own large household, numbering between 120 and 140, based mostly in the red-brick house at Hatfield [...] which she acquired from Somerset and preferred to a less comfortable Hertfordshire establishment, Ashridge. She was also a woman of property. She was assured an annual income of £3000 and (after some difficulties which were as much political as technical, but which were easily overcome after Somerset's fall in October 1549) this was turned into a portfolio of scores of manors and houses concentrated in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, and Berkshire, but with scattered estates further afield. She was one of the greatest landowners in the kingdom, with a landed estate worth £3106 [and change] per annum, and when she was under investigation in her sister's reign she said that she could not remember where all her houses were.

The loser is either too queer to be a cishet movie or too cishet to be queer...

How is it cishet media?

LSoH: Little shop of horrors. one of its main plot points is a cishet romance. besides the space plant thing which is the main plot.

PotCCoTBP: cishet bc it's abt elizabeth swann desperate for man ass

How is it lgbt?

LSoH: AUDREY AND SEYMOUR ARE T4T. to me. also audrey ii <3 she, in the theater, is traditionally played by someone w a masculine voice. that’s lgbt to ME.

PotCCoTBP: pirates of the caribbean is lgbt bc elizabeth swann has genderful swag and will has beautiful puppydog eyes and jack sparrow for all his numerous flaws is getting real faggy with it

Reading posts about House of the Dragon is so funny, it’s like a royal court simulator, everyone sounds like they’re sitting in a circle and sewing while whispering about the queen while she takes a nap

“If my husband the king had me give birth to 3 sons and named someone else his heir, I would have taken the throne and put my son on it too.”
