Fanart of Philip V of Spain
I illustrated him savoring his dinner after a long day. He took a bite of his steak but found it chewy and dry. He instructed a servant to remove the steak and chose to eat pastries and tarts instead.
Dedicated to my friend, @philippeducdanjou, @chateau-de-gamin and @felipe-v-fanblog
I hope you all liked it, Thank you

During the alarm for the life of the Queen, regret at not possessing an heir to the throne was not even thought of. The King himself was wholly occupied with the care of preserving an adored wife.

Women’s History Meme || Executions and Murders (5/5) ↬ Blanche of Bourbon, Queen consort of Castile
At a loss for a motive or cause behind Blanche’s death, Ayala resorts to another apocryphal story. One day, he writes, Pedro was hunting in the environs of Jerez when a shepherd claiming to have a message from God approached him. Pedro was enjoined to renew conjugal relations with Blanche and was assured legitimate heirs to the throne. If he disobeyed, he was promised a tragic end. Suspecting a conspiracy, the king ordered the imprisonment of the shepherd and dispatched Lopez de Cordoba (his camarero) and Matheos Fernandez (cancilfer del sello de fa poridad) to see if Blanche had been a party to the ruse. Though she declared her innocence, Pedro nevertheless ordered her death. … While it is impossible to know the true circumstances of Blanche’s death, Ayala’s story is a useful fabrication invented to highlight the absence of legitimate heirs to the throne, a feature of Pedro’s story intended to lessen the burden of Enrique’s illegitimacy. At the same time, Ayala’s portrayal of Blanche as victim, up to and including the circumstances of her reported death, is a constant feature of the chronicle. If Pedro in fact ordered her death, which is what Ayala wants us to believe, Blanche was one of his most undeserving victims, and the king was at his most merciless and cruel. As if by God’s judgment, or so Catalina implies, Maria de Padilla died shortly thereafter, in July 1361. She likely died of natural causes—as Blanche may have—leaving Pedro four children: Alfonso, Beatriz, Constanza, and Isabel. Immediately after her death, Pedro proclaimed her queen of Castile and ordered a royal burial, with all attendant honors. A funeral cortege carried her body to the monastery of Santa Clara de Astudillo, which she had founded in 1354. In 1362, her remains were transferred to the royal chapel in Seville for permanent repose . — Pedro the Cruel of Castile (1350-1369) by Clara Estow

Someone on the Internet once called Maria Amalia of Saxony, Queen of Spain, Sicily and Naples, and her husband, Charles III of Spain, “the ugliest royal couple of their time”. An though I must admit that Charles III was more known for his wits than his looks, being rejected later in life by princess Marie Adélaïde of France for his portrait, Maria Amalia seemed to be a graceful young woman, but most likely grew weary and older-looking than her age with the time; giving birth to thirteen children in twenty two years, five of whom died when she was still alive, must have made her look older and frailer in her later paintings.
Honestly, that discourse is yet another “not a great beauty” comment on historical women, and I hate it.

“It was, however, the death of the eldest boy, the Duc de Bourgogne, in 1761 that left the seven-year-old Louis Auguste with a permanent inferiority complex. His parents made no secret of their lamentations at the death of the favourite (whom Maria Josepha had called that special pet name, her chou d’amour). The man in charge of Louis Auguste, the Duc de Vauguyon…also took the opportunity to lecture him on his inadequacy for the role [of future king] once played by his incomparable brother.” • Antonia Fraser, Marie Antoinette: The Journey
“[O]n the eve of Easter 1761 Bourgogne died. For his parents and the King, who had thought very highly of him, it was a terrible blow. [Louis Auguste] was now a future King of France. But he had been brought up without the adulation usually given to future Kings. On the contrary, all through his formative years he had been put in the shade, treated as a foil for brilliant Bourgogne. As a result, he was that rare creature, a prince with a poor opinion of himself.” • Vincent Cronin, Louis and Antoinette
Portraits of Louis Joseph Xavier, Duc de Bourgogne (b. 1751) and his brother Louis Auguste, Duc de Berry, later Louis XVI (b. 1754) by Jean-Martial Frédou, 1760
#louis xvi#french history#eighteenth century#house of bourbon#this just makes me so sad :(#imagine forever being held up to the standard of your 'perfect' older brother...who died when he was like 10???#granted bourgogne's personality - as it was in childhood mind you - seems to have been a lot more suited for the role of king#but it's really hard to say how louis auguste might have been different if he had you know...been treated differently. nature vs. nurture.#he might well have still been introverted and introspective and quiet! sure! but insecure and uncomfortable with the expectations of him#perhaps not as much? we'll never know
