The way belts are wrapped around King's of Cainhurst legs first reminded me of Ancient Greek warriors, but then some depiction of Merovingian warriors came to mind as well. Do you have an idea what was the inspiration behind that type of shoes and leg wraps? Also do you think he was fighting with the spear or with the sword? Several cancelled models still exist in the files so I dunno

Oh very interesting ask! Thanks anon! I see I am the person people ask about the king of Cainhurst. I am the reference I did it!

Hm well first I thought you were talking about the belts around the hunters legs but I figured afterwards you were just talking about the king(s) cut models.

In cut content there is actually the "King in blue", that I consider to be the closet thing to what king of Cainhurst was supposed to look like.

But there is also the 3 variants of the "king ghost low class".

The "low classes" would have potentially be ennemies or bosses for the chalice dungeons. One have a sword & shield, one a spear like you mentioned and one a sword and euh.. magic orb? I guess they could fit have potential old kings of Pthumeru and pthumerians 👀

Now for the shoes and leg warps :

I did ask some friends to help me (thanks @val-of-the-northand @katyspersonal 🫡) But mostly it does look like ancient civilisation shoes (especially for the king low class)

For me I would say for the king low class it looks like spartiate (yes like the grec from Sparte (Ve century before J.C.) but they were apparently invented in Egypte 14 century ago. So yes ancient civilisation type of choose.

there is the roman Caligae who looks similar as well.

And like you point out, Mérovingien and francs, (Ve (5) century wear that kind of thing as well! And I completely forgot. My history classes from medieval age are from to long ago sorry)

Bonus my boy Wander from shadow of the colossus seems to wear some kind of spartiate as well ❤️

Now for the "king in blue" shoes, my friend pointed out it could look like a calceus. Romans bronze shoes

Personally I think it could just be a typical XVII-XVIII century shoes with white silk stocking. Like on many 17th and 18th century nobles and citizen (have a few little exemples) :

-Louis XIV en costume de sacre, Hyacinth Rigaud, 1701.

-Portrait en pieds en Louis XV, VANLOO Louis-Michel, around 1760.

-Portrait d'apparat de Louis XVI, Antoine François de Callet, 1779.

----

I am just putting here 3 beautiful exemples but there is so many . And not just kings, you can see that on lot of illustration for the noble and wealthy class. Some wear that instead of trousers.

For the weapons now he seems to have in the file a great sword/zweihänder I think you call it in English (espadon en français). My personal headcanon is that he actually had and used Logarius' sword. That is probably of pthumerian origins. And the executioner took it after killing him 😔 But it's a headcanon.

Marie Antoinette: The Last Queen of France and Her Controversial Legacy

On 10th May, Louis XVI of France and his wife, the Austrian princess Marie Antoinette, began their reign. The young princess became the queen consort of France, a position that many desired. Marie Antoinette had a beautiful face and a graceful manner, and everyone was curious about what kind of queen she would be: a supporter of the arts, a subtle diplomat, a political counselor to her husband, a devout wife and queen? She ended up being all of these things – and more.

She left a lasting impression on French history unlike any other French consort. Marie Antoinette was a talented musician – she played the harp and the harpsichord, and learned from Gluck in her childhood – as well as a singer and a fan of composers such as André Grétry. Marie Antoinette was also passionate about fashion and liked to invent new dresses and hairstyles, breaking with tradition and making the work of her ladies-in-waiting harder than usual.

She enjoyed being daring – sculptures like this show her lively personality and extravagant style.

Despite her great impact on the arts, Marie Antoinette was often regarded as the puppet of her mother, the Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa – she was often attacked at the French court and called 'The Austrian' by her enemies. She soon became a scapegoat both at court and outside and, while she was initially loved by the French people, her lavishness during a hard economic time quickly turned this love into resentment. The more she tried to advise her husband in politics, the stronger the accusations against her became. She was vilified in pamphlets and libels, and her bad reputation affected her husband's as well.

When the French Revolution started in 1789, Marie's mixed feelings about the situation caused a lot of damage to the French monarchy. She was advised by her family in Austria to escape, but she was conflicted between her willingness to compromise and her fears of the people's intentions. The royal family decided to flee, which led to the end of the monarchy in France.

Louis XVI was tried for treason and eventually executed on 21st January 1793. His reign will always be remembered by his failure to preserve the monarchy and the Bourbon dynasty, and will always be linked to the French Revolution.

As for Marie Antoinette – who, as the consort of France, was supposed to have a wonderful destiny and future – her final moments were far from glamorous. She was imprisoned with her children and her ladies-in-waiting, and she was eventually tried for treason and executed on 16th October 1793, at the age of only 37.

Marie Antoinette being taken to her Execution by William Hamilton {PD}

Her death caused outrage in the rest of Europe as most of her siblings were ruling other countries and realms. Her sister, Maria Carolina of Naples, swore to avenge her, developing a pure hatred against France for what they did. From an Austrian princess to a French queen consort, no one could have foreseen Marie Antoinette's terrible fate.

Marie Antoinette wrote to her sister-in-law, Madame Elisabeth, in her final moments. She had a close and sincere friendship with her over the years.

Elisabeth-Philippe-Marie-Hélène de France, dite Madame Elisabeth by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun {PD}

Her only thoughts were for her children, whom she wanted to protect desperately, even after her death. 'I am very saddened to leave my poor children; you know that they and you, my kind and loving sister, were my only reason to live.'

She advised, 'Let them both remember what I have always taught them, that virtuous principles and the faithful performance of every duty, are the first foundation of life; that their happiness will depend on their mutual love and trust.' She finished her letter with what she wanted her legacy to be: 'Let them never seek to avenge our death.' It was for her wise words and her maternal love that Marie Antoinette wanted her children to remember her.

Sadly, all her children died young except for Marie-Thérèse, who became the Duchess of Angoulême.

Even today, especially in France, Marie Antoinette is a controversial figure. She is remembered for betraying France and for being the source of all its troubles, but her legacy is more complex, as her last letter shows. In the end, Marie Antoinette had her flaws, of course, but she also remained a loyal mother who was separated from her children and who tried to leave them a legacy of peace and love – if only through her words.

Louis XVI ,

Louis XVI (French pronunciation: ​[lwi sɛːz]; 23 August 1754 – 21 January 1793), born Louis-Auguste, was the last King of France before the French Revolution, after which the victors renamed him Citizen Louis Capet during the final weeks of his life. In 1765, at the death of his father, Louis, son and heir apparent of Louis XV, Louis-Auguste became the new Dauphin of France. Upon his grandfather's death on 10 May 1774, he assumed the title "King of France and Navarre", which he used until 4 September 1791, when he received the title of "King of the French" until the monarchy was abolished on 21 September 1792. Louis XVI was guillotined on 21 January 1793.

Ceres Begging for Jupiter's Thunderbolt after the Kidnapping of Her Daughter Proserpine by Antoine Callet 1777. Height: 200 cm (78.7 in) ; Width: 250 cm (98.4 in). Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This was Callet's "morceau d'agrément," the work of art that earned him acceptance in 1777 to the Académie Royale de Peintre et de Sculpture. It is however not signed and was in earlier sales catalogs attributed to Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and Louis-Jean François Lagrenée.

"The key lies back ten thousand years ago in the Age of Isis that is mistakenly called "The Matriarchy". It was not a Matriarchy as we conceive it; a rule of club-women, of frustrated chickens, in fact it was not a rule at all; it was an equality.

The Woman was and is the Priestess. In Her reposes the Mystery. She is the Mother, brooding yet tender, the lover, at once passionate and aloof, the wife, revered and cherished. She is the witch woman. She stands co-equal with her mate who is the chieftain, the hunter, the thinker and the doer. The woman is the Priestess, guardian of the mystery, syble of the unconscious and prophetess of dreams. Together they balanced each other until the catastrophe of the Patriarchal Age, arch-typified by the monosexual monster, Jehova."
