even less than a shell of her former self, she realizes when looking at this boy that her daughter is only a few years older than him. ( the capitol didn't get her, too, right? ) it's the first coherent thought she's had in. . . years. lucy coral has been stripped of her name, her child and her own mind. they only brought in this madwoman to come talk to the boy ( she doesn't know what he's here; she doesn't dare ask ) as some sort of torture. lucy is to discover what would hurt him the most. hopefully, the worst that could happen is being in a room with a lunatic. ❝ you are. . . ❞ voice is husky from years of screaming more than talking. she points at him. ❝ your hair is yellow, like mine. ❞ she lifts some of her limp locks for him to see. ❝ you are from four, too? ❞ she's already off-task, but what had they expected when they decided to use her as a spy?

I was thinking about how Margaret Holland's Book of Hours has the arms of Clarence impaling Holland on the same page as an illumination depicting the Arrest of Christ, with both Christ's face and the heraldic shield showing signs of touching/kissing leading Jessica Barker to conclude that Margaret may have seen Thomas Duke of Clarence's violent death as an "echo" of Christ's suffering. Then I remembered two things.

Firstly, that Thomas died on Holy Saturday - the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, when the Harrowing of Hell occurred - so the connection with this imagery is very fitting.

Secondly, according to two chronicles, the English defeat at the Battle of Bauge (and thus Thomas's death) occurred due to the treachery of one André Lombart (or Andrew of Lombardy), which is striking when coupled with the manuscript folio.

The first chronicler who mentions this is John Strecche, whose chronicle was written in 1426. He writes:

Consider then that a certain soldier, Andrew of Lombardy, who had one time been a mercenary with the duke of Clarence, and had stolen a quantity of loot from the town of Pontoise, as I have three chapters before this, with a strong hand and cunning treachery, rose up and attacked them all, devoid of any any help. And he murdered the Duke and captured and killed the others at Eastertide in the year of the Incarnation of Our Lord 1421.

The second account comes from Peter Basset and Christopher Hanson, who were writing for Sir John Fastolf and whose account covers the years 1415 to 1429. They give more detail, writing:

The latter [Thomas Duke of Clarence] spoke with André Lombart, who was a traitor twice over, and enquired what power the enemy had and what number they were. Lombart replied that the enemy were only in small number and were not strong enough to acquit themselves even against half of the power of my lord of Clarence, and that he would therefore have a very fine and honourable victory. My lord of Clarence, thinking that the traitor was telling him the truth, gave orders for the deployment of the archers of his company, to wit, Sir [blank], Sir [blank] knights of Portugal, captains of Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, and with them, the bastard of Clarence, and told them to await him in the said location of Beaufort until his return, telling them also that he wished that the other nobles and himself should have the honour of the destruction (of the French). But it turned out quite the opposite, for which reason there was much sadness and sense of loss. My lord of Clarence and the nobles of his company, passing through narrow pathways, encountered the enemy already in battle formation, thanks to the warning of the aforementioned traitor Lombart who had sold the duke. They had set up significant ambushes by their men to prevent the duke and his company escaping without being killed or taken prisoner. The enemy immediately overran the duke on all sides. The duke and his nobles defended themselves as valiantly as they could, but finally my lord of Clarence was pitiously killed and several other lords were taken prisoner or killed.

The predominant narrative of the Battle of Bauge is that of disaster caused by Thomas's reckless rush to battle, this is true in the vast majority of accounts and in historians' coverage of the battle. For John D. Milner, Strecche's account is the "most creative" of English attempts to obscure the role of "English negligence" in the defeat, particularly Thomas's:

Frank Taylor in his edition of the chronicle has commented that Strecche transforms Baugé into an incident of comparatively little significance, thus attempting both to reassure those in England when they heard about it and to preserve Clarence’s reputation. As C. L. Kingsford observed, this must have been some early rumour of the affair which reached England, and in which the truth was concealed.

Milner does find more support for the Lombart story, noting that first (i.e. "Lancastrian") edition of John Hardying's chronicles contains a reference to "‘counsayll of Andrew, fals Lombarde". Milner ultimately concludes:

It is at least possible that such an account became current, and then remained long in the collective memory, in an attempt to mitigate the culpability of the royal commander, Clarence. It is interesting, however, that the authors of the Historia Anglicana and the Vita et Gesta Henrici Quinti make no reference to Andrew Lombard. This suggests that this episode was not known to them and that, if known, it was discounted or that, of itself, it did no credit to the English side.

Given the Vita et Gesta Henrici Quinti is believed to have been commissioned by Sir Walter Hungerford, who had close connections with Henry V, it is perhaps telling that it makes no reference to the Lombart story.

Whether or not it is true, however, what strikes me is the way we can couple the story of Thomas being betrayed to his death with the folio in his wife's Book of Hours which seems to link his death with Christ's betrayal. Even if the story isn't true (which does seem to be the consensus of historians), then I wonder if it's possible Margaret Holland believed it?

October 27, 2023

The teacher mentioned Felicita she has the same name as me and also has the same birthday as me as well. As life goes on right now. I am her reincarnated I recall the prison time and also the womans perputa this is crazy. Feels good to know that I was brought back and this time it was after Jesus died and now I am here in time of Revelations as well. Since there is so much about who believes in God or not. People expect believers to always give up everything.

Can't make women who believe in God surrender there rights to vote right now across the world children are ding day by day and this is scary as well because this takes so much mental will power to stay in this. It is amazing Felicita died in C. 203

Here is am reborn as Felicity Lyn Seymour but technically my last name is barker by blood rights and well being honest in this present time of being alive I am seen as a witch as well.

Noone will believe me because noone will ever want to see a woman to be a thing as such because right now times are hard and America is scared as well as life is going on .

I really want people to know I am non denomination. I am just sharing information. Please don't message me to kill myself again.

In ancient Roman culture, felicitas (from the Latin adjective felix, "fruitful, blessed, happy, lucky") is a condition of divinely inspired productivity, blessedness, or happiness. Felicitas could encompass both a woman's fertility and a general's luck or good fortune.[1] The divine personification of Felicitas was cultivated as a goddess. Although felicitas may be translated as "good luck," and the goddess Felicitas shares some characteristics and attributes with Fortuna, the two were distinguished in Roman religion.[2] Fortuna was unpredictable and her effects could be negative, as the existence of an altar to Mala Fortuna ("Bad Luck") acknowledges.[3] Felicitas, however, always had a positive significance. She appears with several epithets that focus on aspects of her divine power.

Felicitas had a temple in Rome as early as the mid-2nd century BC, and during the Republican era was honored at two official festivals of Roman state religion, on July 1 in conjunction with Juno and October 9 as Fausta Felicitas. Felicitas continued to play an important role in Imperial cult, and was frequently portrayed on coins as a symbol of the wealth and prosperity of the Roman Empire. Her primary attributes are the caduceus and cornucopia.[4] The English word "felicity" derives from felicitas.

As virtue or quality

Phallic relief with the inscription "Felicitas dwells here" In its religious sense, felix means "blessed, under the protection or favour of the gods; happy." That which is felix has achieved the pax divom, a state of harmony or peace with the divine world.[5] The word derives from Indo-European *dhe(i)l, meaning "happy, fruitful, productive, full of nourishment." Related Latin words include femina, "woman" (a person who provides nourishment or suckles); felo, "to suckle" in regard to an infant; filius, "son" (a person suckled);[6] and probably fello, fellare, "to perform fellatio", with an originally non-sexual meaning of "to suck".[7] The continued magical association of sexual potency, increase, and general good fortune in productivity is indicated by the inscription Hic habitat Felicitas ("Felicitas dwells here")[8] on an apotropaic relief of a phallus at a bakery in Pompeii.[9]

In archaic Roman culture, felicitas was a quality expressing the close bonds between religion and agriculture. Felicitas was at issue when the suovetaurilia sacrifice conducted by Cato the Elder as censor in 184 BC was challenged as having been unproductive, perhaps for vitium, ritual error.[10] In the following three years Rome had been plagued by a number of ill omens and prodigies (prodigia), such as severe storms, pestilence, and "showers of blood," which had required a series of expiations (supplicationes).[11] The speech Cato gave to justify himself is known as the Oratio de lustri sui felicitate, "Speech on the Felicitas of his Lustrum", and survives only as a possible quotation by a later source.[12] Cato says that a lustrum should be found to have produced felicitas "if the crops had filled up the storehouses if the vintage had been abundant if the olive oil had flowed deliberately from the groves",[13] regardless of whatever else might have occurred. The efficacy of a ritual might be thus expressed as its felicitas.[14]

The ability to promote felicitas became proof of one's excellence and divine favor. Felicitas was simultaneously a divine gift, a quality that resided within an individual, and a contagious capacity for generating productive conditions outside oneself:[15] it was a form of "charismatic authority".[16] Cicero lists felicitas as one of the four virtues of the exemplary general, along with knowledge of military science (scientia rei militaris), virtus (both "valor" and "virtue"), and auctoritas, "authority." Virtus was a regular complement to felicitas, which was not thought to attach to those who were unworthy.[17] Cicero attributed felicitas particularly to Pompeius Magnus ("Pompey the Great"),[18] and distinguished this felicitas even from the divine good luck enjoyed by successful generals such as Fabius Maximus, Marcellus, Scipio the Younger and Marius.[19]

The sayings (sententiae) of Publilius Syrus are often attached to divine qualities, including Felicitas: "The people's Felicitas is powerful when she is merciful" (potens misericors publica est Felicitas).[20]
