Alright everyone here’s a very stupid question!

Also yes. I have personally read fanfiction about every single one of these figures listed in the poll.

A Plantagenet Christmas - Moodboard II

[reignof-fyre]

I can only liken Alicent and Viserys' marriage to that of Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV.

Elizabeth Woodville was, according to the times she lived, pretty much a commoner. She was the daughter of Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers, and Jacquetta of Luxembourg. Her fathers title had to be swiftly thought up because Jacquetta, former aunt-by-marriage to the actual king, married so below her class. They earned even more titles and honors when Margaret of Anjou married Henry VI, whose brother was Jacquetta's brother in law.

So, in short, Elizabeth Woodville was the daughter of a noble and a servant. She, at the time of her marriage to Edward IV, was a widow and mother of two sons. She was not considered a good match for Edward, but according to history, it was a love match and they married in secret, and once out in the open, it caused an absolute shit show because Warwick, the Kingmaker, had planned on marrying Edward to the Princess Bona of France, but was completely blindsided by Edward's marriage to Elizabeth, a commoner. One of his own subjects.

Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick, all but made Edward King and believed he would be enriched and given a multitude of honors for the troubles he went through to get Edward on the throne, but with Edwards marriage to Elizabeth came her sons and siblings and in-laws etc, and so her family were given riches and honors and lavish marriages rather than Warwick, which infuriated him (rightfully so, imo).

Warwick and Edward's dislike turned to pretty much open warfare, and several times would Warwick try and overthrow Edward, first with Edward's brother George, Duke of Clarence, by using the age old rumor that Edward was illegitimate and marrying George to Warwick's daughter Isabelle Neville, and Warwick executed Elizabeth's father Richard and brother John.

The second time, Warwick and George allied themselves with Margaret of Anjou and her and Henry VI's son Edward. Warwick's daughter Anne Neville was married to Edward, the Lancastrian heir, as part of the agreement, and Henry VI was put back on the throne, but it didn't last long, because Warwick and Edward's (son of Margaret) were killed in battle and the rebellion pretty much fell apart.

George, Duke of Clarence, would later be executed by being drowned, allegedly, in a vat of malmsey wine, for other reasons, and Edward's youngest brother, Richard, would usurp the throne from his nephew and become Richard III. He would be overthrown by Henry Tudor, who would marry Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville.

There was already a lot of unrest in England at this time, prior to Edward IV's marriage to Elizabeth, of course, but the king marrying a commoner and giving her oh, so common family honors and riches, snubbing the nobility, surely didn't help matters.

It's why I liken it to Alicent and Viserys. Alicent is pretty much a commoner. The daughter of a second son with barely a dowry - or one paid by her uncle, Lord Hightower - no lands, no armies, no armada, etc - so it makes sense that the rest of the nobility are mad, are kind of disgusted, but it annoys me that they're not more put out about it, which would be realistic, especially considering that the lords didn't bother putting their daughter's forth because they believed it to be a foregone conclusion that Viserys would stick with tradition and marry Laena Velaryon, a lady of Valyrian/Targaryen blood, but he didn't, and insulted a great many lords and young maidens, but of course that isn't shown in the show whatsoever 🙄

Will Scarlett, BBC’s Robin Hood (2006-2009)

Portrayed by: Harry Lloyd

“YOU know Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen and Every Other Shitheel in Every British-cast Show Ever, but I will forever know him as Mr. Herbert pocket in Great Expectations, and as Will Scarlett--both of whom stand as testament to the fact that Harry Lloyd can play characters that aren't shit-rags every once in a damn while. And OKAY, so he doesn't necessarily live up to the legacy of the "gaily feathered bird" like other Will Scarletts, but he's got OTHER virtues. He's SMART. He's PRETTY. He's got a little bit of the BROODING. He's got the knowing of woodcrafts: he can get you in and out of anywhere you wanna go and he can carve you things. He's a voice of reason, he has a plan when Robin doesn’t, and a dry wit--maybe a stick in the mud sometimes, but that's O-KAY, he's CUTEEE.”

George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence The White Queen (2013)

Portrayed by: David Oakes

“The ideal scheming medieval nobleman, constantly trying to steal the crown from his brother, and his plots ultimately come to nothing. Which is very sexy of him. Snide, arrogant, bitchy, messy, chaotic. Betrays the king multiple times and just keeps getting forgiven and welcomed back to court inexplicably through sheer dumb luck— to commit even more treason. Everything you could ever want in a man.”

Even after 500 yrs , George is severely suffering from MIDDLE CHILD SYNDROME . Today in Tumblr, only three persons have wished him happy birthday.

Me ( dickon 777 )

So sad , but it deserves for the treacherous middle brother.

Lemme fix that real quick: HEY, MY LIEGE @lordbettany ! The forsaken middle child is still a forsaken middle child.

[dickon777]

Hey! I am still working on your Richard III, but meanwhile, I wanted to show you an old painting of George, Duke of Clarence, that I had going around there.

Sorry for giving the answer late , this painting is fantastic. His birthday is also coming 21st October 😁😁

Combining things my wife and I are really into at the moment, I'm just imagining Alison and Mike taking a trip to London, and Alison making friends with all the Tower of London ghosts.

Anne Boleyn: So it truly does not bother you? The... head thing?

Alison: No, I have, uh, a friend with a similar condition...

Lot of people with their heads tucked under their arms, and George, Duke of Clarence, sulking and dripping wine all over the place...

[borgialucrezia]

"George is the perfect example of everything the show is not about...He is just a bit of a swine quite frankly and a delight to play with. I don't think there is anything to dislike about George. I think he is perfectly charming in almost absolutely every way. [laughs]" — David Oakes.

who is george duke of clarance

Oh, hi!!! I love your blog and thank u so much for this question. So, this is a brief rundown because lots of people have yelled about him better than I have.

Right, George, Duke of Clarence was the middle brother to Edward IV and Richard III, so he's a pretty important lad. His dad was Richard, Duke of York (so the white rose in the Tudor rose) and his mum was Cecily Neville.

He's an important player during the Wars of the Roses - which faux-Welshman and my personal enemy Henry VII would eventually win - and all that entailed, but he was a schemer and so switched sides depending on what suited him.

He also married Isabel Neville who is the daughter of Richard Neville, Duke of Warwick, otherwise known as the Kingmaker (cuz he helped put Edward IV on the throne and ousted Henry VI) Coincidentally, her sister, Anne, married his brother, Richard.

The whole reason why I tagged him that mulled wine post? Well, a) I was severely seeped deprived and thought it was funny.

But the slightly more pertinent reason is that Edward VI executed his brother for treason and - so the story goes - did so in quite possibly the most ridiculous yet terrifying ways. He drowned him in a butt of Malmsey wine.

(There's no record of this, it's just a rumour, but I guarantee when you next have mulled wine you'll be thinking of this.)
