Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

#lol I don't remember writing this - I found it when I was searching for something else in my drafts. But it's 100% true so I had to post it.#elizabeth woodville #my post #Imo this is mainly because Elizabeth's negative historiography has always involved both vilification and diminishment in equal measure.#and because her brand of vilification (femme fatale; intriguer) suggests more indirect/“feminine” than legitimate/forceful types of power #It's still bizarre though-you'd think these would be some of the most famous & defining aspects of Elizabeth's life. But apparently not #I guess she only matters when it comes to marrying Edward and Promoting Her Family and scheming against Richard #There is very lacking interest in her beyond those things even in her traditionally negative depictions #And most of her “reassessments” tend to do diminish her so badly she's rendered utterly irrelevant and almost pathetic by the end of it #Even when some of these things *are* mentioned they're never truly emphasized as they should be.#See: her formal appointment in royal councils. It was highly unconventional + entirely unprecedented for queens in the 14th & 15th century #You'd think this would be incredibly important and highlighted when analyzing late medieval queenship in England but apparently not #Historians are more willing to straight-up INVENT positions & roles for so many other late medieval queens/king's mothers that didn't exist #(not getting into this right now it's too long...)#But somehow acknowledging and discussing Elizabeth's ACTUAL formally appointed role is too much for them I guess #She's either subsumed into the general vilification of her family (never mind that they were known as 'the queen's kin' to actual #contemporaries; they were defined by HER not the other way around) or she's rendered utterly insignificant by historians. Often both.#But at the end of the day her individual role and identity often overlooked or downplayed in both scenarios #and ofc I've said this before but - there has literally never been a proper reassessment of Elizabeth's role in 1483-85 TILL DATE #despite the fact that it's such a sensational and well-known time period in medieval England #This isn't even a Wars of the Roses thing. Both Margaret of Anjou and Margaret Beaufort have had multiple different reassessments #of their roles and positions during their respective crises/upheavals by now;#There is simply a distinct lack of interest in reassessing Elizabeth in a similar way and I think this needs to be acknowledged.#Speaking of which - there's also a persistent habit of analyzing her through the context of Margaret of Anjou or Elizabeth of York #(either as a parallel or a foil) rather than as a historical figure in HER OWN RIGHT #that's also too long to get into I just wanted to point it out because I hate it and I think it's utterly senseless #I've so much to say about how all of this affects her portrayal in historical fiction as well but that's going into a whole other tangent #ofc there are other things but these in particular *really* frustrate me #just felt like ranting a bit in the tags because these are all things that I want to individually discuss someday with proper posts...

Hornet headcanon!

'Hornet' is not Hornet's true name.

I'm still torn between different reasonings for her having the name either

A- It was given to her as an honorary title, by Queen Vespa, during her training within the hive (or bestowed upon her after having finished her training as a symbol of her accomplishments.)

Or B- She gave the name to herself, after the fall of the kingdom, as a way to separate her current self from her past while still honoring some part of her past. (The part that is easiest for her to look back on.)

As for her birth name my sisters and I have decided on Arachnè. (The name is from a Greek myth, where the protagonist Arachnè challenges Athena to a weaving contest, wins, and is afterwards transformed into a spider.)

#I'm pretty sure it's said somewhere #I might just be making this up but either way I like that idea #That the hive was only recently infected.#And like the mantises they could not be infected against their will but willingly turned to the radiance #because living under a hive mind is what they were used to #and their queen who had been protecting them had died.#Anyway all of this is to say #Hornet did not have any very terrible memories or trauma related to the hive at least for the majority of the time.#Which is why she stuck to a name associated with that aspect of her life.#Also! On a somewhat related note I really enjoy the headcanon that the Pale King's true name is Ozymandias that is perfect I'm keeping that #Hollow knight #hk hornet #hollow knight hornet #hollow knight headcanon #Also yes I recognize that there are several flashbacks scenes in my fic where she is referred to as Hornet #Which doesn't align with this headcanon unless we go with option A maybe #But either way idc #I have literally been constantly learning and coming up with new hcs and theories ever since getting into hk #They don't always align #Being in the hk fandom is so fun guys #Wow this is a lot of tags ok I'm done

"Penelope has insecurities!" As an excuse for her harming others because of those said insecurities falls very flat when it puts the character's, who live during a time of few options especially if you were a women, at risk. And even with her insecurities, her lashing out and hurting people should be held in the same regard as how some view Cressida, who didn't get the luxury of a view into her home life until s3, unlike Penelope, and while it still has people calling out this behavior, although rightfully so, it often still includes denying that Penelope needs to take accountability as well.

#some on twitter said how in fandom yt characters will get a pass for hurting other characters just bc of their insecurities #which is very true when you look at how some to this day still talk about marina with a lot of misogynoir rhetoric just to defend pen #like how can you say “support morally grey or complex female characters” but then shit on marina left & right while erasing/woobifying pen'#own complexities? it doesn't make sense #i would find pen much more enjoyable if her complexities were acknowledged and the harm she did was called out & corrected #but i can't even enjoy spaces like that without some of her fans jumping into the frey and painting it as a crime against them #if you reflect that heavily on a character that's fine but don't get mad when other people don't see it the same way as you #especially poc who have to see pen not only call a kate (and simon) “beast” or constantly make petty brutal remarks about queen charlotte #for no reason as well as use abliest remarks to refer to the king george who suffers a debilitating mental illness #there was no reason for her to do all of that besides being deeply insecure that it makes her harm others who don't even know her #calling that out isn't a bad thing 😭#and yeah while i like/enjoy cressida i can call her out for her behavior toward pen & others even tho i understand it #i could even do the same for pen but see my prior points #the “let female characters be complex” crowd are (not always but sometimes) the first to remove these complexities and it's frustrating!#anti penelope featherington #bridgerton #pen stans don't interact bc this clearly says anti #made this post after people on twitter got on my nerves & created sob stories that ain't never happened just to make whitewash pen

kind of unfortunate that so many fantasy epics are also war novels because i will be honest i just do not like war novels that much... the grand clashing of forces is compelling obviously but it requires characters to talk about so much practical battle strategy and while i can get my brain to comprehend all these fantasy maps and kingdoms and borders and battalions and front lines and army movements it takes up. so much space in the book. feels like i'm fighting a war of my own trying to get through it sometimes

#this is about the witcher books rn but also about book four of the inheritance cycle #roran is hot and i like seeing him with his hammer and his dedication and love for his wife!#also i am here for dragons and it is kind of a major tonal shift watching this man try to navigate becoming a military general!#like i'll learn all the names of the witcher kings and queens and learn where their provinces are and which towns are in which kingdom #and who borders what and where and how all those political machinations work. it's important to the plot.#damn it's a lot of names though #meve is the queen of lyria and rivia is in lyria. this much i know. because she is the only queen.#completely irrelevant information most of the time.#cintra is north of nilfgaard. nilfgaard is south of fucking everything.#cintra is like? middle of the map i think? there are other southern territories that got conquered by nilfgaard before cintra fell #other southern places. um. toussaint. i know this because this location is often referenced in fanfictions about aiden thewitcher #my favorite character that does not actually appear anywhere in canon aiden thewitcher #man i'm thinking about him again... fucking miss him... (<— guy who never met that guy to begin with)#anyway. what other witcher politics do i know. i can keep the wizard politics pretty clear in my mind.#total fucking lie i just realized i've been picturing stregobor instead of vilgefortz all through the last half of blood of elves #whateverrrrrrr i'll figure it out... this is why i can't pick things up this much later. i'm not restarting this reread though #other kings. suddenly all their names are gone. demawend? he is not very important rn i don't think.#vizimir. of. redania? perchance?#yes. because i think he's who dijkstra works for. and phillipa eilhart. i think that's the redania crew.#there's the king who is caught up in. incest. foltest. that's that guy's name. fuck if i know what kingdom. triss worked with him i think #oxenfurt is an independent city-state in my mind i don't think that's actually true though #just reread the story where geralt is delivering a message for the kings that border brokilon but could not tell you for the life of me #which kings and kingdoms those actually are. nor who ciri was supposed to marry there #anyway point is. man. War Novel #lord of the rings counts for this too btw. if i have to calculate the numbers for the armies it is a war novel to me #valentine notes #witcher reread

"I relate to Bess a lot. I think that she is someone who is super quirky, I'm a very quirky person! Artist really struggles with feeling validationwith her art and they can be incredibly critical of themselves. And I think that Bess is someone that really cares about other people and I think I care a lot about people, too. Her temper is a little quick, for sure. And that was something that was exciting to play because normally, I try not to make anybody uncomfortable. So I think that was fun, to be a little more sharp and and to find that!" - Brittany on Bess(x)

"As for the government of the kingdom, [Edward V] had complete confidence in the peers of realm and the queen."

"According to the Crowland continuator, [Elizabeth Woodville] seems to have taken the king's place in listening to his council immediately after Edward IV's death. It does appear that she expected to have some role in her son's kingship, and the Crowland continuator’s report of the letters sent to her by [Richard of Gloucester] indicates that she had good reason to expect to be able to work with him and the other councillors: 'the duke of Gloucester wrote the most pleasant letters to console the queen; he promised to come and offer submission, fealty and all that was due from him to his lord and king, Edward V, the first-born son of his brother the dead king and the queen'."

"[However], in what was Gloucester's first coup, Edward V was separated from his household and Woodville advisors. When the young king questioned the move, Buckingham was reported to have told the boy 'It is not in the business of women but men to govern kingdoms'. The blunt remark referred to the authority of Elizabeth Woodville as queen and the power she must have anticipated within the new political climate left by Edward IV's sudden death [...] While the veracity of this scene is questionable*, the words attributed to the duke no doubt seemed plausible to Dominic Mancini who believed they exemplified the popular sentiment held by men [...]."

-Dominic Mancini, The Usurpation of Richard the Third / J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Alexander R. Brondarbit, Power Brokers and the Yorkist State, 1461-1485

*One of Mancini's key sources seems to have been Edward V's own doctor, John Argentine, who attended to him in the Tower. It's very likely that he was the one who recounted this scene to Mancini, which suggests that it should probably be considered more credible than not.

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #wars of the roses #15th century #english history #my post #Croyland wrote that 'The counsellors of the king - now deceased - were present with the queen' so yes #He clearly seemed to view Elizabeth as taking on Edward's role after his death #Which is striking since her son - the new King - hadn't even arrived in London yet let alone be crowned #It's also interesting that Richard wrote letters to *her* rather than the rest of the council and that she was the final deciding authority #when it came to her son (she was the one who wrote to him for his military escort) - it's a clear indication of who was seen as important #This is also reflected in 16th century chronicles like the claim that the Archbishop of York gave Elizabeth the Great Seal #We don't know if this is true - the Archbishop was definitely opposed to Richard but More may have embellished or invented the story #But either way it reflects the perception that Elizabeth would have a major role in the realm's governance during her son's minority #Which makes sense as Edward V would have been used to his mother governing for him as part of his council his whole life #It's also interesting to compare the impression we get of Elizabeth's role with that of former kings' mothers in late medieval England #Because that can help us understand her activities (and perception of them) within proper context rather than purely in isolation #From what I understand kings' mothers could be very influential (eg: Joan of Kent) but were almost never visibly/directly associated #with the governance of the realm. It's striking that the most extreme and arguably the only exception - Isabella of France - assumed #her unofficial regent-like role only after literally deposing the former King aka her husband in the most atypical situation imaginable #So it's striking that Elizabeth *was* visibly and directly associated with it despite her situation being entirely standard; despite the #lack of precedents; and despite the physical absence of her son. Especially since she was effectively the king's mother for only 20 days #I do think it's possible to argue that it says something about her power as queen #(Edward *did* give her unusual positions of authority either way) and may also suggest a more direct personality on her part #It may also explain why historians were/are so readily prepared to believe that she wanted to 'usurp the sovereignty' to quote George Buck #Ofc this is my interpretation based on my (limited) knowledge - feel free to correct me

until google docs gave me a squiggly blue underline suggestion, i never in my life had considered how 'regnant' rhymes with 'pregnant'

#ive thought a lot about regnant queens vs queen consorts recently #because of what my essay is about. both the young king by aphra behn and shakespeare's cymbeline #feature two princesses who are expected to rule one day as regnant queens #before their lost brothers wiggle their way back into the plots #restoring patriarchal order and succession and disempowering their heroines who were raised with expectation of political duty #which also allows them to pursue their true loves with less detrimental consequences...#like. ok #yeah so they were going to be REGNANT queens #didn't think at all about. pregnant #no one is pregnant in either of those plays #text post
