I feel like I've benefited a lot by reading The Dangerous Kingdom of Love by Neil Blackmore right before watching Mary & George.

Not only was the book incredible (historical fiction in which Sir Francis Bacon trains George Villiers to become the kings new favorite, and falls in love with him) and one of the best unreliable narrators I've ever seen, but I also already know the cast of characters.

Also a lot of fun to compare the differences in these two works. Genuinely recommend the book to anyone who's interested in these characters!

Anne Cleland Kinloch to her son Francis Kinloch, in a letter from 1776

From “Kinloch family history and genealogy research files” from the South Carolina Historical Society Archives

I do enjoy reading Anne's letters to Francis - they have a common theme of being simultaneously endearing and patronizing. I find it funny that she called young Francis a "raking fellow." Given the context, I assume she meant it in a "constantly getting scraped up" kind of way, but I think it's fair to say that Francis grew up to become a rake in the "promiscuous degenerate" kind of way.

I also wonder if Francis fulfilled his mother's requests. The Ben referred to in the letter is likely Benjamin Huger, who was the husband of Mary Esther Kinloch (Francis's sister). Given their starkly different political opinions, Francis hated Benjamin and even wanted to write Benjamin out of his will at one point.
