Every now and then I will sob over the thought of David Rizzio
Because imagine your best friend's husband sleeps with you.
Your best friend forgives you. You're too close for a man she doesn't even love that much to come between you.
The HUSBAND gets jealous of your friendship with his wife.
He accuses you of sleeping with her and her of cheating on him. Irony, much?
He orders for you to be taken from her
And stabbed
57 times in the room NEXT TO YOUR BEST FRIEND'S BEDROOM
And your body is thrown down the stairs
And stribbed of jewels and clothes.
Like
He was failed, I'm sorry.
He could hardly turn down the king, regardless of his own feelings.
And then the king accuses him of sleeping with the queen, who is like his sister.
And has him brutally murdered in front of her.

the lily of the west
"local man unfairly forced to commit murder because the girl he liked was talking to someone else."
youtube
lord darly
full title (from the original 1579 ballad sheet, a transcript of which can be found here): "a dolefull ditty, or sorowfull sonet of the lord darly, sometime king of scots, neuew to the noble and worthy king henry the eyght and is to be song to the tune of blacke and yellowe"
"a period retelling in verse of one of the most infamous scandals of the 16th century: the murder of david rizzio, musician, courtier, and private secretary to mary, queen of scots and that of her husband henry, lord darnley - very obscure but catchy and underrated!

On Sunday 29th July 1565, twenty-three-year-old Mary, Queen of Scots, married nineteen-year-old Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley.
The banns for the marriage had been read in St Giles's Cathedral, High Kirk of Edinburgh, on Sunday 22nd July and in that afternoon Darnley was made Duke of Albany. On Saturday 28th July, heralds proclaimed the forthcoming marriage of Mary and Darnley at the Market Cross in Edinburgh and proclaimed that Darnley would be made king following the wedding.
At 6 am on Sunday 29th July, the couple got married in Mary's private chapel at Holyrood Palace (the Palace of Holyroodhouse), Edinburgh. The bride, who had been married before, to Francis II of France, and had been widowed following his death in 1560, wore her "deuil blanc" (mourning attire) was led to the altar by the Earls of Lennox and Atholl. The couple made their vows and Darnley placed three rings on Mary's right hand. After prayers, Darnley left, leaving Mary to celebrate the nuptial mass without him. Historian John Guy writes that Darnley "wished to avoid the charge of 'idolatry'".
At midday on Monday 30th July heralds proclaimed that Darnley was King of Scotland, with the couple's official title being "Henry and Marie, King and Queen of Scotland.
The marriage was not to be happy for very long. In March 1566, Darnley, with a gang of friends, murdered Mary's private secretary, David Rizzio, in front of a pregnant Mary. Darnley was apparently jealous of Mary's friendship with Rizzio. Mary gave birth to Darnley's son, the future James VI of Scotland (James I of England) on 19th June 1566. Darnley's increasingly erratic behaviour, along with his desire to be awarded the Crown Matrimonial (the right to co-reign with Mary) had led to him becoming unpopular, and he became a real problem for Mary and the Scottish Lords. In February 1567, the problem was solved when Darnley was killed in an explosion at Kirk O'Field. It is thought that James Hepburn, Lord Bothwell, supplied the gunpowder but he was acquitted of murder in April 1567. On the 24th April 1567, Mary was kidnapped by Bothwell (it is unclear whether this was planned by Mary and Bothwell) and allegedly raped. They were married on the 15th May 1567.
The portrait was made by an unknown artist in around 1565, at the time of their marriage. Despite being married three times, there are relatively few portraits of Mary with her husbands. This could be due to the short duration of each of her marriages, and the tragic and often chaotic circumstances that surrounded them

About Mary&George, there's something really important to understand about king James's attitude.
James VI and I was deepley traumatized because he had a shitty and traumatic childhood, something who affected him for all his life.
The first trauma happened when he wasn't even born!!!
9th march 1566, queen Mary's secretary, the Italian Davide Rizzio ( or Riccio ) was stabbed 57 times by plotters, he tried to save himself hiding behind the queen but it doesn't work.
Mary was deeply traumatized for this not only per sè but for an other motive. She was six moth pregnant and lord Ruthven pointed his sword against his belly and threated to cut her "in pieces". Yes, James was not even born, it was said that he was afraid of swords 'cause this.
when he was 8 months his father was killed, by the man who became his stepfather, his mother was innocent
The 24 april 1567 he saw for the last time his mother, queen Mary Stuart was abducted, imprisoned and raped by james Hepbun lord bothwell. Yes, I know for someone Mary/Bothwell are a very romantic love story but let's be clear. it was a toxic relationship
Two moths later his mother is forced to amrry Bothwell 'cause she's pregnant, with twins, and after a short civil war she's imprisoned by the queen Elizabeth
James is crowned king at 13 months and the regency is on his half uncle, lord James Moray
James Moray was killed in 1570
The the regenty become yhe king's granfather: Matthew Lennox
Matthew Lennox was killed when James was 5, and it's very gory: the consipirator stab him in front of the child, Lennox tried to save himself behind his king, and grandchild but he was taken away by force, then his body, baraly alive, was take near a window and throw away.... ALL OF THIS in front a 5 year child
James was physically abused by his tutor George Buchanan, a puritan fanatic who hates monarchy and beat his pupil nearly every day. James will be one of the most cultured king but he the trauma never left him, one day when he was already king of England he met an old man who looks like Buchanan and he started to tremble.
He said about his tutor "I learned Latin before English", Buchanan also lied about queen Mary's involment in the Darley's death
when he was 13 he met hsi father's cousin, Esmé Stuart and he fall in love with him. Esmé is 39, he's catholic and French so after one year he is forced toi exil but he helps James to start to debunk some things about his mother
when he was 14 he was abucted for an year and nearly killed
It could be end very bad, with James become a psycho but luckly he become a very traumatized man who seek affection from everyone, he came out at 13 so... Esmé, John, Philip, Richard, Robert and then George, he always tried to recreate the relationship between him and Esmé.
and that's all folks

I’m sorry if you answered a similar question like this but was there any terrible or traumatic experiences/events King James went through?
Yeah, so, James's life was basically nonstop trauma from the age of negative 3 months to the age of 20.
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time today but I can come back later and make a post with double-checked dates and links. But just going off of memory here are some highlights (ages may be wrong):
His mother Mary QOS claims a gun was pointed at her belly during the assassination of David Rizzio when she was pregnant with James
His father was murdered, his mother exiled, and he never saw her again after the age of 15 months
As a 1-year-old baby king Scotland fell into a civil war between "his" forces and his mother's
He was raised isolated and lonely in Stirling Castle mostly by grim Presbyterians (not completely locked up alone, but he later spoke of this time as lonely, I rambled about this before, cn: Esmé Stewart) who attempted to brainwash him against Mary QOS (I rambled about this AT LENGTH before)
He was so harshly disciplined/beaten by George Buchanan that he had PTSD symptoms as an adult
He seems to have had developmental problems such as delayed speech and walking, which were probably... not treated sympathetically. He was probably physically disabled though there are dozens of different modern diagnoses that have been offered.
3/4 of his childhood regents were murdered as part of the civil war and/or political feuding. First, his uncle. Then, his grandfather, who was carried bleeding into Stirling castle and died in front of 5 year old James's eyes. Then, the Earl of Mar, who was James's custodian/foster-father, was probably poisoned (James=6).
When James was 11, one of his childhood friends (who was then 20 - he was a bit older than James), pushed by the then-regent Morton, led an armed attack on Stirling Castle to try to take custody of James by force. The Master of Mar, father of his other childhood friend (Thomas Erskine, same age as James) had to take up a halberd and physically protect James from the attackers. James at one point thought the Master of Mar had been killed in front of his eyes. He wasn't, but Thomas Erskine's older brother really was killed.
When James is 13 he looks around at this shitty situation and says "nope", proclaims himself an adult ruler, meets and then immediately falls in love with his 37-year-old cousin Esmé Stewart. (The main subject of this earlier ramble) Probably not good for James's emotional development.
When James is 15 he executes the last of his childhood regents, Morton, probably convinced by Esmé Stewart that the guy had a hand in the murder of his father Lord Darnley. So 4/4 of James VI's regents met sticky ends.
When James is 16 his anti-Catholic nobles, who hate Esmé Stewart, kidnap James and hold him hostage, treating him badly. Esmé Stewart has to flee Scotland and dies in France and James never really recovers from this.
When James is 17 he escapes and rules surrounded by various allies including Catholic nobles. When James is 19 though the kidnappers from before come back to Scotland funded by Elizabeth and take over again.
I think I've forgotten some incidents, like I think he might have almost died once already by this point, but I don't remember the details.
After this point, though, James actually is an adult ruler who can hold his own in politics. So, like, wild backstabbings, betrayals by loved ones, war, etc., but James was more effectively able to ride the political waves and gave as good as he got, so it's not the same level of "helpless kid bashed around by politics".
So......... yeah. A bit of trauma. It's really no wonder he turned out like he did in a lot of ways.
#james vi and i#james's weird stan rambles again#james's trauma conga#no royals really had happy childhoods but james REALLY stands out#content note#tw child abuse#tw csa#tw grooming#tw death#tw trauma#tw murder#probably more but i can't think of them

MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS
MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS
1542-1587
Mary was 6-days old when her father James V of Scotland died and she gained the Scottish throne. Scotland was governed by regents, including her mother, Mary of Guise (who was related to Henry VII). Henry VIII wanted Mary to be brought up in the English court in order to marry his son Edward, however her mother refused.
Mary moved to France to live with Henry II and Catherine de’ Medici, and in 1558, she married their son and heir Francis, the Dauphin. Her husband died in 1560 and she returned to Scotland during a time of political and religious unrest. Mary was Catholic, but her kingdom was now run by Protestants.
She married her half-cousin, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley in 1565, who had Tudor royal blood, she was in love with him and attracted to his good looks; however, he abused her physically and mentally. When Mary was 6-months pregnant, he and his friends burst into her room. One held a pistol to Mary and stabbed Mary’s friend David Rizzio to death. Mary never forgave Darnley and wanted out of the marriage. She wrote to Elizabeth I about what had taken place. Elizabeth I replied that if she had been in that situation, she ‘would have taken her husband’s dagger and stabbed him with it.’
In 1567, Darnley’s home was destroyed by an explosion and he was found murdered in the garden. Mary and James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, were both believed to have been behind his death but he was acquitted in 1567.
That same year, Bothwell kidnapped (and possibly raped Mary) and they were then wed. This was a disaster for Mary, she was forced to abdicate in favour of her son James VI (1-years-old) and they were both imprisoned. She attempted to take back her throne, after failing to do so, she fled and wanted to gain help from Elizabeth I.
There were tensions between Mary and Elizabeth, as Mary had once publicly stated that she was the true Queen of England, and not Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a Protestant and Mary was a Catholic, which made Mary a threat to the English throne. Elizabeth had Mary placed under house arrest at numerous castles over England, and after 18 years of being Elizabeth’s prisoner, Mary was found guilty of conspiring to have Elizabeth assassinated so she could take her throne. Her son James, who was a Protestant, didn’t defend his mother. Mary was beheaded in 1586, aged 62

Jules Massenet, Méditation de Thaïs, 1894 (piano solo partition, sheet music)
Jules Massenet, Méditation de Thaïs 1894 (piano solo partition, sheet music)
https://dai.ly/x8d1o3l
Jules Massenet (1842-1912)
Meilleur téléchargement de partitions de notre bibliothèque.
Né à Montaud (Saint-Étienne) le 12 mai 1842, mort à Paris le 13 août 1912. Son grand-père est enseignant à Strasbourg. Son père, Jules Émile Frédéric, officier dans les armées du Premier Empire, fut directeur d'une entreprise de matériel agricole de 1814 à 1847. Sa mère Eléonore-Adelaïde Royer de Marancour (1809-1875), bonne pianiste, composa un quelques morceaux. Elle donne des cours de piano. La famille s'installe à Paris en 1847.
Dès 1851, il reçoit ses premières leçons de piano de sa mère. Un premier échec en 1851, il est admis au Conservatoire de Paris le 10 janvier 1853. Il y suit les cours d'Augustin Savard (1861-1942) pour l'harmonie et de A. Laurent pour la classe préparatoire de piano. Ses parents s'installent à Chambéry en 1854. Il tente de rejoindre Paris, mais est rapidement ramené chez ses parents. Accueilli à Paris par sa sœur Julie, il peut reprendre les cours du Conservatoire l'année suivante. Il remporte un premier prix de piano en 1859, mais ne s'entend pas avec François Bazin, son professeur de composition. Il est impressionné par l'audition de L'Enfance du Christ de Berlioz en 1855 et suit les concerts d'oeuvres de Berlioz et de Wagner au Cirque Napoléon (inauguré par Napoléon III en 1852, devenu depuis Cirque d'hiver), les concerts qui Wagner donna en personne en 1860 lors de son séjour à Paris. Il étudie l'harmonie avec Henri Reber. Il donne quelques concerts. En 1861, il entre dans la classe de composition d'Ambroise Thomas et dans la classe d'orgue de Benoist. La même année, il publie avec Brandus et Dufour une Grande Fantaisie de concert sur le Pardon de Ploërmel, sur un thème de Giacomo Meyerbeer. En 1862, il obtient un deuxième prix de fugue et de contrepoint. La vie matérielle de la famille est incertaine. Sa mère donne des cours de piano. Il joue du triangle au Théâtre du Gymnase, puis pendant quatre ans il est timbalier au Théâtre lyrique. Là, il se familiarise avec le répertoire. Après une tentative malheureuse en 1862, il remporte le premier prix de Rome l'année suivante avec sa cantate David Rizzio. Au cours de son séjour de trois ans à Rome, il rencontre Franz Liszt, et Louise-Constance de Gressy (dite Mlle de Sainte-Marie, surnommée Ninon par Massenet) une de ses élèves de piano recommandée par Liszt, qui deviendra sa femme. A Rome, il compose un Requiem, et une suite pour orchestre, Pompeîa, qu'il baptise « Symphonie » (créée à Paris le 24 février 1866). De retour à Paris en 1866, il subvient à ses besoins en donnant des cours de piano et songe à publier des pièces pour piano à la mode. Il se marie en octobre avec Ninon. La rencontre avec Georges Hartmann qui sera son éditeur et son mentor, ainsi qu'une commande de l'Opéra Comique, sont déterminantes pour sa carrière. Le 3 avril 1867, il crée sa première œuvre lyrique, La grand'tante avec Marie Heilbron dans le rôle-titre. La même année, son cycle de romances Poème d'avril opus 14, sur des poèmes d'Armand Silvestre et sa cantate Paix et liberté sont joués pour l'anniversaire de l'Empereur. Durant ces années, il participe à des concours de composition où ses opéras ne remportent pas de prix. Sa fille unique, Juliette, est née en 1868.
Il gagne rapidement en notoriété, et fait partie des jeunes compositeurs remarqués à Paris. Ses compositions sont publiées. Il s'engage dans la Garde nationale pendant la Commune de Paris (le 29 mars 1871 la conscription est abolie et tous les citoyens valides font partie de la Garde nationale). Il a participé à la fondation de la Société nationale de musique. En 1872, son opéra-comique Don César de Bazan est à l'affiche de l'Opéra-Comique de Paris pour 13 représentations. En 1873, il compose la musique de scène des Erinnyes de Lecomte de Lisle jouée à l'Odéon et crée le Drame sacré Marie-Magdeleine avec Pauline Viardot dans le rôle-titre. Il a remanié les Erinnyes qui ont été jouées à la Gaîté Lyrique le 15 mai. Il a été décoré de la Légion d'honneur le 26 juillet. En 1877, son opéra Le Roi de Lahore, aboutissement de plusieurs années de travail, est joué avec succès. L'éditeur italien Ricordi propose de le faire traduire en italien et propose un autre sujet : Hérodiade. Massenet est nommé professeur de composition au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris en 1878, en remplacement d'Ambroise Thomas qui devient le directeur de l'établissement. Il a la réputation d'être un bon pédagogue. Il compte parmi ses élèves Gabriel Pierné, Gustave Charpentier, Florent Schmitt, Alfred Bruneau, Guy Ropartz, Reynaldo Hahn, Charles Koechlin et Georges Enesco. Le 13 février, Il Re de Lahore (avec un tableau supplémentaire) remporte un succès triomphal au Teatro Regio de Turin. Le 30 novembre, Massenet est élu à l'Académie des beaux-arts (l'Institut), face à Camille Saint-Saëns. Rejeté en raison de son sujet biblique par Vaucourbeil, directeur de l'Opéra de Paris, il crée Hérodiade, dont la partition est achevée en 1879, le 19 décembre 1881 au Théâtre de la Monnaie à Bruxelles. En 1882, il commence à composer Manon Lescaut sur un livret d'Henri Meilhac et Philippe Gille, d'après la nouvelle de l'abbé Prévost. Cet ouvrage nécessite deux ans de travail. A cette occasion, il visite la résidence de l'abbé Prévost à La Haye. Manon Lescaut est créée à l'Opéra-Comique en janvier 1884 avec Marie Heilbron dans le rôle-titre (décédée en 1886). Le Cid est créé en 1885, et la même année il fonde Werther. En 1887, il modifie le rôle de Manon pour la jeune soprano américaine Sybil Sanderson, et compose Esclarmonde pour le mettre en valeur. Il crée ensuite Amadis et Le Mage. En 1891, il est touché par la faillite de Hartmann, dont la collection est transférée à l'éditeur Heugel. L'année suivante, il est en Autriche, pour la représentation de Werther et d'un de ses nouveaux ballets, Le Carillon. Le 16 octobre, nous atteignons la 200e représentation de Manon. Pour Sybil Sanderson, il compose Thaïs d'après Anatole France qui est créé à l'Opéra de Paris en mars 1894. En mai, il crée Le portrait de Manon à l'Opéra-Comique et en juin La Navarraise à Londres, au Covent Garden. Il achève et orchestre Kassya que Léo Delibes, décédé, n'a pu achever. Il reçoit la croix de commandeur de la Légion d'honneur le 31 décembre 1895. A la mort d'Ambroise Thomas, il refuse la direction du conservatoire et quitte son poste, prétextant que son activité de créateur l'oblige à avoir trop souvent un remplaçant (généralement André Gédalge). Il crée Sapho d'après Daudet à l'Opéra-Comique en novembre 1897, et Cendrillon, composé pendant plusieurs années en mai 1899. Il s'installe à Égreville, au sud de Fontainebleau. Il y achève son œuvre de musique sacrée, La terre promise, créée à l'église Saint-Eustache de Paris. En 1900, il compose la musique de Phèdre de Racine, jouée au Théâtre de l'Odéon. En 1901, Grisélidis, après Boccace, se produit à l'Opéra-Comique. Le jongleur de Notre-Dame, sera créé à Monte-Carlo ; à cette occasion, il est décoré de l'Ordre de Saint-Charles par le Prince Albert 1er. En 1903, Louis Diémer crée son concerto pour piano qui tombe aussitôt dans l'oubli. Massenet n'en parle même pas dans son autobiographie. Sybil Sanderson meurt d'une mauvaise grippe en mai. En janvier 1905, nous arrivons à la 500e représentation de Manon. La même année, Mary Garden interprète Chérubin à Monte-Carlo. En 1906, Ariane est donnée à l'Opéra avec Lucy Arbell (rencontre en 1904), Bacchus n'a pas de succès contrairement à Don Quichotte, créé à Monte-Carlo en 1910. En février 1911, il publie 5 articles dans le journal « Les Échos », intitulés Souvenirs de Théâtre. A partir de novembre, 29 chapitres supplémentaires paraissent généralement chaque semaine, jusqu'aux "Pensées posthumes" du 11 juillet 1912. L'ensemble est publié la même année sous le titre Mes souvenirs. Il se rend à Bruxelles en mars, pour superviser les répétitions de Grisélidis à La Monnaie, suivi d'un séjour à Vienne où Massenet dirige Manon lors de la 100e représentation à l'Opéra Impérial.
