Built over 1000 years ago, the Château de Santenay is distinguished today by its remarkable roof of glazed tiles.

Once a fortress transformed into a bourgeois residence, it was one of the properties of the Duke of Burgundy, Philippe le Hardi, son of the king of France, Jean II. Today, the Château de Santenay, with its 95 hectares and 18 different appellations, is one of the largest vineyard estates in Burgundy.

[royalty-nobility]

Philip V , King of Spain

Artist: Jean Ranc Montpellier (Spanish, 1674-1735)

Date: 1723

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

Official portrait of the first monarch of the House of Bourbon in Spain, Philip V (1683-1746). Grandson of Louis XIV (1638-1715), he was born in Versailles and was proclaimed King of Spain in 1700. He married twice, had numerous children and died in Madrid in 1746.

The King wears armour, carries the baton of command and is accompanied by a war helmet placed in front of him on a stone. In addition to the richly embroidered jacket and the red sash around his waist, garments worthy of his status, the Monarch wears the insignia of the Golden Fleece and the band of Saint-Esprit, symbols of his Spanish dominion, as heir to the House of Burgundy, and of his French ancestry.

This composition became the model for the King's official portrait, repeated with few variations countless times by various artists. It is distinguished by its elegance, refinement and distinction, characteristics that are directly linked to French painting of the time and especially to the work of Hyacinthe Rigaud (1659-1743), master of Ranc and court painter to Louis XIV and Louis XV of France.

Isabella had given her sisters-in-law a purse, the Norman knights were found in possession of them after the three ladies had given it to them as a gift The affair was exposed and the knights were tortured and then executed.

how do you think the Lancasters stood the best chance at winning the war?

Imo, if they'd won at Mortimer's Cross or Towton, the Yorkists would be finished.

A lot of the WotR depended on military victories, tbh. We tend to get distracted by fancy discussions like "Who had the best claim?"* or Propaganda Roulette 101, but the fact remains that it was ultimately military victories that sealed the deal and got rid of opposition**. Everything else was pretty wrapping on top of the already-won or to-be-won prize.

*The most useless debate of all **The exception was Richard III's usurpation but that was a fairly unconventional and entirely unexpected usurpation, and in any case it was a military defeat that ended his reign.
