If I was at St-Germain-En-Laye, comforting James:
Me: It's okay honey, listen, she's not happy about your situation either. No one is actually jumping for joy at this whole dethroning thing, you're not alone.
James: *looks up* Who? Liselotte? Madam de Sevigne?? All they do is complain about me venting!
Me: *stares him down* No sweetheart. Mary.
#jamie wake up she's depressed over the whole thing 😔 😭#james ii#mary ii#stuartposting#house of stuart

They really are going all out with the Stuart era and I'm so excited!!!!
youtube
"A new documentary-drama is coming to Sky History, starring Joseph Fiennes, Jared Harris and Sheila Atim, and following King Charles II's hunt for his father's killers.
Told through dramatic reconstruction, with Fiennes, Harris and Atim serving as the primary storytellers, the three-part series is a story about espionage, revenge, power, loyalty and "the moment that changed the landscape of British politics and society forever".

On March 24th, in 1603, Elizabeth I died at Richmond Palace between two and three in the morning after having been Queen for a total of 44 years, 127 days. She was the last ruler of the Tudor Dynasty and is still considered to be one of England’s most popular monarchs.
Throughout her life, she had infamously never married or had any children, leading to her nickname of “The Virgin Queen”. Elizabeth was succeeded on the throne by her 1st cousin twice removed, James VI of Scotland, who was the great-grandson of her father’ sister Margaret. He would rule in England as James I, becoming the first monarch of the House of Stuart.
