Isabella II was right by not wanting to marry her gay cousin, he was ugly and he sucks.

This always makes me smile. Castaños promised Isabel's father that he would always take care of her ‹𝟹.

Isabel II and Her General Staff, on Horseback

Artist: Charles Porion (French, 1814-1884)

Date: c. 1862

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

This large-format group portrait is an ideal representation of the General Staff of the Spanish Army. In the centre of the composition Queen Isabel II, dressed in the uniform of captain general, wearing the Golden Fleece around her neck and the band of the Grand Cross of the Order of Charles III with its scallop shell across her chest; on her chest and under her lapel two other Grand Crosses can be seen, that of Charles III and Isabel la Católica (Project cataloguing heraldic and phaleristic elements, Royal Academy of Heraldry and Genealogy of Madrid).

The queen heads the cavalcade accompanied by her husband Francisco de Asís de Borbón y Borbón Dos Sicilias , also dressed as a captain general, and by Francisco de Paula , infante of Spain . Accompanying the young queen, Porion portrays some of the military men who took part in the final days of Isabel II 's government: Narváez, O'Donell and Prim, who appear prominently alongside other generals who had already died at the time the work was created, such as Digo de León and Palafox.

Dragon age: Origins - 9:30 Dragon

Dragon Age: Awakening - 9:31 Dragon

Dragon Age II - 9:37 Dragon (act 3)

Dragon Age: Inquisition - 9:41 Dragon

Dragon Age: The Veilguard - 9:52 Dragon

We know literally nothing about the age of some characters (like Oghren). I used canon information and/or logic. If empty - the character has not yet been born or has already died.

About Cole - since he died as a human, I didn’t add a year to him.

About Solas - for the year of "birth" I used the approximate date of the founding of Arlathan

“[Isabella of France] may be viewed sympathetically as a woman trapped in a loveless marriage, or unsympathetically as a murderous and over-mighty woman. Likewise, [Edward II] can be portrayed positively as a martyr for his sexuality, or in a condemnatory way as an effeminate homosexual. In most screen portrayals, the respective images of Edward and Isabella are directly linked; a positive presentation of the one usually appears at the expense of the other. Despite their both being victims of prevailing gender and sexual norms, it seems that neither can be defined except in opposition to the other.”
