Claude de Valois, Duchess of Lorraine

Having grown up together at the French court, the couple knew each other and were compatible. A favorite of her mother, Queen Catherine de’Medici, the many years of childbirth took a harsh toll on her body. Claude was born at the palace of Fontainebleau on…

they’re kind of basic answers? maybe? sorry

A Huguenot, on St. Bartholomew's Day - John Everett Millais

[featherdownmoor]

i’m so obsessed with this painting bro look at her face

it looks like the transition from desperate fear to quiet anguish

in their embrace, she is pulled the knot taut while he is undoing it while cupping the side of her face

And they look at each other, her in anguish, him in ardency, both in love

Both accepted the fate that was to come

and then shortly thereafter he is killed…

August 23-24, 1572 French Protestants slaughtered, some flee to New Amsterdam

The “St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre” of Protestants took place in Paris, France. It soon spread throughout France. The final death toll has been estimated at 30,000. The Huguenots of Belgium were called Walloons, and some of them eventually fled to New Netherland. On May 20, 1624, a group of Huguenots called Walloons arrived in New Amsterdam on the ship “New Netherlands” (Nieu Nederland). Their…

why are gay ppl allergic to happiness.

art history lesson! the reference is a painting titled A Huguenot, on St. Bartholomew's Day by John Everett Millais. the historical context is what made me think about jmart: he’s a protestant and she’s a catholic, and back then it was common for catholics to signify their faith by tying a white cloth around their arm, which is what she’s trying to get him to do as he pulls it away while also holding her (bc they’re in love). st. Bartholomew’s day was a day where many protestants were murdered and many escaped harm by wearing the white armband and pretending to be catholic. it made me think of jmart bc of the events of mag 200, those who’ve listened that far will know💀 i won’t spoil🤭

Addam Velaryon and Daeron Targaryen as John Everett Millais' "A Huguenot, on St. Bartholomew's Day" by maiahee_

The artwork is meant to depict a pair of young lovers on opposing sides of a conflict. One of them attempts to have the other displayed as loyal to their side so that he may be spared from the ensuing massacre, but the lover has already chosen his own allegiance.

Artwork is based off my theory that Addam's secret conversation with Corlys was him asking for Daeron to be spared as he had not taken part in the war at the time, after which Corlys asked the same of Rhaenyra. Daeron later joins the war effort on the side of the Greens. Meanwhile, Addam was declared a traitor to the Blacks.

And Addam Velaryon, lately Addam of Hull, sought out the Sea Snake after the battle; what they spoke to each other even Mushroom does not say. [...] She would send envoys to Storm’s End and Casterly Rock, offering fair terms and pardons…after she had put an end to the usurper’s brothers, who were in the field against her. “Once they are dead, the rest will bend the knee. Slay their dragons, that I might mount their heads upon the walls of my throne room. Let men look upon them in the years to come, that they might know the cost of treason.” [...] Prince Daemon himself would take Caraxes to the Trident, together with the girl Nettles and Sheepstealer, to find Prince Aemond and Vhagar and put an end to them. Ulf White and Hard Hugh Hammer would fly to Tumbleton, some fifty leagues southwest of King’s Landing, the last leal stronghold between Lord Hightower and the city, to assist in the defense of the town and castle and destroy Prince Daeron and Tessarion. Lord Corlys suggested that mayhaps the prince might be taken alive and held as hostage. But Queen Rhaenyra was adamant.
