I have two husbands, and that causes me much trouble and torment of the soul, for I may be with childe by one, and have thus given horns to th'other, who is also a lady, and we have been married first. Now she won't writ to me as we did as girles, and my lawfull husband, I have not yett told, for my condition is not certain yet. I cannot talk in honesty whith one, and with the other husband, neither.

'Tis awkward to speak of this, but if not to your friends online, to whom can one talk of such troubles?

There are thyngs the governement, the Kinge in particular, do not wish you to know about: the Royall Successioun is all made false, for instead of the D. of Yorke, the True Heir to H. M. the Kinge shoud be the Duke of Monmouth, for he was lawfully begot by the Kinge, then married in secret to the late Lucy Walter, and must therefore be accepted as Prince before his uncle the D. of Yorke, who is a Catholick.

All ye good people should speak up against this injustice! If you cannot pledge your life (if there be a fight), or some shillings to the cause, you may help it greatly alreadie by re-bloggying, and bringing this mater to greater awareness!

Why cannot a man haue normall nepheues. One, @je-maintiendrai, is nigh a Puritan in his Protestant fervour, and th'other dispreads falsehoods about the monarcky (and the Roman Church).

I reported the other one, @dukeofm for his libel, in hopes he shall be deactivated, alas th'other I can but block, and not banished from this place. I also hope my daughter the Princess shall divorce him speedilye.

Tonight, I hope to forgett all about this vexing bussinesse by thinking on going a-stag hunting tomorrow with H. M. my brothere, the King.

>>What is life? A fantasy? A prize we seek so eagerly? That proves to be illusory?

I think that life is but a dream, And even dreams not what they seem.  -Calderón de la Barca, Life is a Dream.

>>He should have died first. It was as simple as that. Death went for men first, most of the time. It had always been the women’s burden to become widows, to mourn their husbands and to face the fate that came after the passing of those who they swore would be their one and only. And the Death had been his nearest companion, even since the cradle, when he was so sick and frail that the French envoy were horrified at the sight of his weakness; but, oddly enough, the Grim Reaper had spared him, year after year, taking his brothers’ life in the infancy, his baby sister in the cradle; his older sister, Margarita Teresa, in childbirth; His father, when he was just a toddler. But he still stood. More lonely, more weakened, more weary; king of Spain, master of the empire, but trapped in a painful prison of flesh. He should have died first. Yet, it was Marie Louise who laid inside the coffin. In little more than a month, she would have been twenty seven, but now, she would always remain twenty six. Twenty six. That was no age for dying. The roses of youth are still blossoming, and the maturity is nothing but a distant shadow; it was meant to be an age of beauty, of strength, of vigour, of passion. But now, the only thing that remained was the cold of the grave and the fading roses that rested over the coffin, as dead as the Death itself. He felt like a failure. Had that angelical creature that now cooled inside that dark prisión of wood and dust ever had a moment of joy with him? He didn’t know. He truly didn’t know. Her last words: “Many women may be with His Majesty, but none will love him more than I do” were the final prove of the tender love she had had for him —who could lie in his deathbed? Who?—, but he knew that his wife had not found joy in the rigid Spanish court, without friends, without music or dance or merriment of any form, without her family. He could have not provide her safety, or pleasure. He even hadn’t been able to give her a son, the king bitterly remembered, a lack that had been the burden of her young life. He should have done more. He should have loved her more, enough to protect her from the melancholic and the despise and the even Death. He should have died first and let her free. He should have…

“You should have buried me” he said in a hoarse whisper, “Not the other way around” A silent tear fell and, after days of profound grief, the King of Spain bid farewell to the woman he loved the most.

An Equestrian Portrait of the Young King Charles II of Spain

Artist: Sebastián Herrera Barnuevo (Spanish, 1619–1671)

Date: 1665

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Private Collection

Charles II of Spain

Charles II of Spain (6 November 1661 – 1 November 1700), also known as El Hechizado, or the Bewitched, was King of Spain from 1665 to 1700. The last monarch from the House of Habsburg which had ruled Spain since 1516, he died without children, leading to a European conflict over his successor.

Charles became king at the age of four, but for reasons that are still debated, he experienced extended periods of ill health throughout his life. This made the question of his successor central to European diplomacy for much of his reign, historian John Langdon-Davies writing that "…from the day of his birth, they were waiting for his death".

The two main candidates were the Austrian Habsburg Archduke Charles, and 16-year-old Philip of Anjou, grandson of Maria Theresa of Spain and Louis XIV of France. Shortly before his death in November 1700, Charles named Philip his heir, but the acquisition of an undivided Spanish Empire by either France or Austria threatened the European balance of power. Failure to resolve these issues through diplomacy resulted in the 1701 to 1714 War of the Spanish Succession.

"-Literally Captain Hook." I say, as if Barrie didnt explicitly based his pirate character on Charles II.

I’m sorry for not being alive for about who knows how long, so I made a little drawing about this template that I can’t stop thinking about. But historical figure version :)

Francis is still as ugly as ever, not that I can change it. :)

If Charles Xavier's kids ever did meet, I hope it would eventually turn into a "My (67M) children (20M, 18M, 13F) have unionised" type situation
