Bluebeard 1944

John Carradine delivers the strongest performance of his career in this taut, suspenseful version of the Bluebeard legend. Carradine is the nefarious Gaston, an artist and puppeteer in 19th century Paris who strangles lovely young models when they fail to meet his exacting standards of perfection. Gaston’s new model, Lucille, learns of his shocking secret and bravely vows to bring him to…

HMS Royal Sovereign - 1804

She was a yacht built in 1804 for King George III how used her from 1805-1820. On 25 June 1814, a naval parade was held at Spithead to celebrate the Treaty of Paris.

The model here was created by an unknown builder and shows the yacht not only from the outside but also from the inside. It is not known whether it served as a presentation object for the king or whether he owned it himself as a decorative model.(x)

The day after the parade, the Prince Regent, the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Russia embarked on the Royal Sovereign and led the 15 ships of the line and 31 frigates to sea where battle manoeuvres were observed from the flagship of the fleet.

In October 1824, the Duke of Clarence used the Royal Sovereign for a tour of the fleet at Spithead, where the ship's to and fro forced a warship, the brig HMS Redwing, to fire the royal salute seven times. Clarence used the yacht to visit four ships on this occasion.

On 19 February 1838, Captain Samuel Jackson transferred from the liner HMS Bellerophon to command the Royal Sovereign. He was both master of the ship and commander-in-chief of Pembroke Dockyard. He retained command until he was promoted to Rear Admiral on 23 November 1841.

The Royal Sovereign was commissioned as a depot ship in Pembroke Dockyard in November 1849 and was broken up a year later.

Wishes for Mary & George

Mandatory:

poop jokes

Likely:

Spanish Adventure is shown in full ridiculousness with the worst fake beards EVER

1623(? I think) carriage incident

Reasonable hopes:

Going deep on the extremely weird adoptive brother/stepfather relationship of George and Charles

Francis Bacon is there and gay (I thought this was a long shot but I see FRANCIS BACON IS CAST!)

George horrifies the French court by putting his feet up on a chair

James is depicted as motivated not by sex as much as by love, and it's by understanding this that George achieves supremacy

James repeatedly falls off his horse

Longshot:

Henry Frederick

Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke

William Monson and/or Arthur Brett

Ludovic Stewart

Desperate pipe dream:

GEORGE DOESNT POISON JAMES

Pembroke College, Oxford Turns 400

Pembroke College, Oxford first opened its gates to students on August 6, 1624. That’s nearly 300 years later than Pembroke College, Cambridge, but I just happened to notice that this nice round anniversary, this quatercentenary, was upon us, and also that I had written about some of its famous alum, and am likely to write about others: these include Samuel Johnson, George Whitefield, J.R.R.…

Hello, can you explain who sided with who from the peerage during Henry VI Readeption? Which side had more support?

Hi! I'm just going to post an excerpt from False, Fleeting, Perjur'd Clarence: George, Duke of Clarence, 1449-7 by Michael Hicks, which sums up the situation:

“The Readeption had enjoyed the military support of the Dukes of Somerset and Exeter, the Marquis Montagu, the Earls of Devon, Dorset, Pembroke, Oxford and Warwick, Viscount Beaumont, and Lords St. John, Wenlock and Camoys. Of those who had helped restore Henry VI, Clarence, Shrewsbury, Stanley, FitzHugh and Scrope had withdrawn their support; no former Lancastrians [ie: the ones who had made peace with Yorkist England in the 1460s] had returned to the fold and nobody had defected from Edward IV. On Edward’s return to London, he was accompanied by five dukes, six earls and thirteen barons, most of whom had probably fought at Tewkesbury. Lords Say and Cromwell had been killed at Barnet and other peers participated in the Kentish campaign against Thomas Neville, Bastard of Fauconberg. From this it is clear that almost the whole peerage, certainly all the greater magnates, were actively involved in the 1471 campaign. Edward’s army had a strong family tinge, as it included both his brothers, his brother-in-law Suffolk, Earl Rivers and the husbands of five of the Wydeville sisters. It was not merely a faction: there were others without court connections, such as Norfolk and Cobham. Clearly Edward enjoyed the general support of the peerage […]’

wait George Villiers was a shitty person? what did he do?

Hi! I’d like to preface my answer to this question by saying that I’m not a historian (I have a degree in linguistics and literary studies), and all of my information comes from doing a lot of research regarding George on my own, therefore there might be a lot more info on what exactly he did or did not. So if there is someone more knowledgeable about this, please correct me.

What George Villiers did, and, quite frankly, how his career had gone could be described by a line reportedly spoken by Queen Anna of Denmark to Abbot, the archbishop of Canterbury (and Pembroke), two people who worked together to install George in James’s bedchamber as a favourite “You and the rest of your friends know not what you do. I know your master better than you all, for is this young man be once brought in first person he will plague must be you that labour for him.”

As opposed to the previous favourite Somerset (Robert Carr), Gorge was deeply ambitious as he not only wished to enrich himself while in favour, but he also wanted to become an important player in the political sphere. (If I dare say so myself, I believe, that his time as a politician, would not be half as bad if he had received a proper training. Tho he was undoubtedly a shitty, to put it mildly, person) He knew that key to his success was the affection and love of the king as he could literally take everything that was given to him and make him once again the poor George that he once was. (I really do not want to talk about their relationship as it would take more than a sentence to summarise it). Thans to how rapidly he climbed the social ladder and received more titles and positions at the court which in turn allowed him to have actual sway in the country’s internal and external politics. Geore was also keenly aware that apart from the royal favour he needed connection to face his opposition (the ancient families of England). So patronage, it was something common (even now). He installed his immediate family at the court and secured them positions, (mmm nepotism), the marriage market was also fair play as George slowly but surely arranged marriages for people in his family, win-win situation.

Addressing his now growing family, his wife – Kate Manners, became one as he possibly kidnapped and raped her. (There are some rumours that he “what-a-surprise got locked” with her in one building so after that they just had to get married.) It was a marriage for the money she could bring, and the connections did not hurt either, a nice bonus, one might even say. He also made a deal with Edward Coke to marry off his daughter (her mother protected her fiercely) to his brother. It is said that she cried during the ceremony.

In lieu of the theme of nepotism, as he slowly transformed the royal bedchamber into a place of the de facto lawmaking. He packed every place possible (to an extent) with people what would back him up. For that he was notoriously selling patronages, titles, and land, especially in Ireland where law did not hold him so much. Literally whenever the parliament tried to remove him from power because of how badly (Imo he would have done much better if he had training and not just gone with the general fuck around and find out rule.) he did his job, and people were fed up with him. He started a whole 20D chess match with Richelieu which was pointless, started a few campaigns that ended with him often not paying the soldiers (I mean no one would stab him to death over such thing… right), the last one being a pointless siege that only made England loose troops and money. (He could have one that one, he was so close to it, but he had to celebrate the possibility of victory rather than making people sing papers). He enraged the protestant England by helping to offer help France with fight off Protestants. What else… oh yes, he almost sa’d Anne of Austria which just… mmm the flavour of historical silencing of women, misogyny and men who just have dick measuring contests because.

Tho what I do not believe, and what many line up with, is that he did not poison James (or at least wasn’t aware of doing so??) because I think that he would gain more from helping the king survive than just killing him.

“George Boleyn, endowed, says Anthony á Wood, with ‘admirable discourse’, and ‘symmetry of body’, was the idol of the fairest ladies at Court. His poems are lost, and little remains of him but the story of his fate. His sister and he loved each other with a fervency of affection which demons alone could have converted into guilt.”
