Portrait of Begum Samru, born Farzana Zeb un-Nissa, married Christian name Joanna Nobilis Sombre (c. 1753-1836)

Unknown artist, Delhi School

watercolour on paper

Delhi, India, c. 1830

Starting her career as a dancing (nautch) girl, Begum Samru eventually converted from Islam to Christian Catholicism and became the ruler of the small territory of Sardhana in present-day Uttar Pradesh. She was the head of a professionally trained mercenary army consisting of Europeans and Indians that she inherited from her European husband, Walter Reinhardt Sombre after his passing in 1778. She built several palaces including at Chandni Chowk in Delhi. Stories have been written about her political and dipolomatic astuteness and the important battles fought by the troops under her command. This painting follows the format of a portrait miniature on ivory but is larger and on paper surrounded by a lavish decorative border. She is depicted older in age with her right hand holding the end of a hookah pipe. It may have been part of a set of portraits of Indian rulers of the 19th century.

[Anne de Pisseleu] has almost entirely disappeared from historical accounts. Francis is generally considered the strongest and most impressive French Renaissance king. To acknowledge Anne’s political power would diminish his reputation. But for errors of political judgment in his waning years, Anne has [often] been blamed.

Kathleen Wellman, Queens and Mistresses in Renaissance France / Tracy Adams, Queens, Regents, Mistresses: Reflections on Extracting Elite Women’s Stories from Medieval and Early Modern French Narrative Sources

"The Duchess of Étampes [Anne de Pisseleu] has been characterized over the centuries in reflexively misogynistic terms, and traces of the misogyny remain despite the scholarship of David Potter and Francis Nawracki demonstrating that that she was a central political figure during the last years of the reign of François I. She is described, for example, as “undoubtedly a detestable person, capricious, arrogant, taking advantage of her powers as favorite of a feeble, aged king,” and as “the duchess, insolent, capricious,” who “made sure that no one was unaware of the power that she held over [the king].” She was at “the heart of much in-fighting at court,” and she was “fickle.” Charges of greed and vainglory persist, as well: “Combining intelligence with beauty, she was also ambitious and grasping.” The reputation of Diane de Poitiers among historians has been different. She was much reviled immediately after her death, but, by the nineteenth century, she had been embraced as a romantic icon, and, ever since, she has been treated with sympathy or curiosity—the story that she ingested gold to preserve her beauty has garnered considerable interest in the popular press over the past few years—in recent biographies."

In case anyone hadn't noticed (it's been about 500 years or so, but it's easy to miss if you're not looking I guess...), the UK is institutionally, constitutionally racist

The certainly individuals who are actively anti-racist, and who understand just how insidious white supremacy is. But the best you can hope for most of the time is that weak-willed, obtuse 'colour-blind' acknowledgement that 'Racism Is Bad Because It's Rude' - and that's when you get the so-called progressive political party (Labour), ritually humiliating, deselecting and silencing Black and Asian women MPs/candidates as if it was their primary goal in life

To say keith has trashed Labour is an understatement. And Bernie Grant must be spinning in his grave at the thought Lammy - the craven bozo - has inherited his seat

why did this take me a week to upload

this is my oc!! jinan (or veil, with the fox miraculous, which is what she is wearing). she is 17 and terrified that she'll get upset and get akumatised and hurt ppl and her parents decided that the best way to deal with that is to just not get upset so now she's trying to do that and has a lot of repressed emotion that's running out of room to bounce around in her brain. also félix enlisted her help and i think shes a bit pissed and a bit scared but she's having fun

the one on the right is an illusion of her
