#xiii. — death. | elizabeth

“My, how curious.”

Golden gaze focused on the fountain in the middle of Paulownia mall, her body leaning forward and her hands brought up; pads of her fingers gently pressed together as she watched it in awe. Normally, Elizabeth never traversed outside of the velvet room without a companion; but the door was right down the steps and down the hall; out of public eye, so really, she was close to what her equivalent to home was. She could feel the eyes of passers by on her, though she paid no attention; a small hum leaving her as she dug into the pocket of her dress.

She stuck out like a sore thumb in her clothing that resembled something a flight attendant would wear, and the gasps she heard from a growing crowd made a grin spread on her features when she stood on the edge of the fountain; fishing out the pouch from her pocket and raising it above her head, dumping an odd amount of coins ( how did she fit all of them in there, it was as if it was some sort of…pocket dimension ), a playful hum leaving her before she lowered it, tilting her head slightly as she spoke out into the open for anyone who would want to answer her.

“I suppose I must make a wish now, right? Isn’t that how this works?”

Charles I of England

Charles I of England (r. 1625-1649) was a Stuart king who, like his father James I of England (r. 1603-1625), viewed himself as a monarch with absolute power and a divine right to rule. His lack of compromise with Parliament led to the English Civil Wars (1642-51), his execution, and the abolition of the monarchy in 1649.

King Charles grew tired of wrangles with Parliament over money and so decided to do without that institution for eleven years. Then between 1640 and 1642, Charles was obliged to call Parliament to raise cash for his campaigns against a Scottish army, which had occupied northern England, and a full-blown rebellion in Ireland, both fuelled by religious differences and the king’s high-handed policies. Parliament attempted to guarantee its own future, and when the king broke his promises of reform, war broke out. The English Civil War was largely fought between ‘Roundheads’ (Parliamentarians) and ‘Cavaliers’ (Royalists) in over 600 battles and sieges in England alone. Ultimately, the professional New Model Army won the day for Parliament and Charles I was tried and found guilty of treason to his own people and government. The king was executed on 30 January 1649. Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) ruled the ‘commonwealth’ republic as Lord Protector, but his death was soon followed by the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. The new king was Charles’ son, Charles II of England (r. 1660–1685).

Family & Early Life

Charles was born on 19 November 1600 in Dunfermline Palace, Scotland. His father was James I of England (who was also James VI of Scotland, r. 1567-1625), and his mother was Anne of Denmark (l. 1574-1619), the daughter of Frederick II of Denmark and Norway (r. 1559-1588). Charles’ grandmother was Mary, Queen of Scots (r. 1542-1567). James I was of the royal Stuart line, and he had unified the thrones of Scotland and England after Elizabeth I of England (r. 1558-1603) left no heir. Charles was the second son of King James, but his elder brother Henry died of typhoid fever in 1612 and so he became the heir apparent. Charles’ elder sister Elizabeth (b. 1596) married the King of Bohemia, and her grandson would rule England as George I of England (r. 1714-1727), the first of the Hanoverian Dynasty.

Charles did not enjoy robust health as a child, he was shy - perhaps because of his stammer, and he always came second-best when compared to his more favoured brother Henry. Reaching maturity, Charles spent a lot of time with King James’ hated courtier George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham. The duke was seen as a talentless social upstart who had enjoyed a meteoric rise only thanks to the king’s infatuation with him.

In 1624 it was arranged for Charles to marry Henrietta Maria (1609-1669), the young sister of Louis XIII of France (1610-1643). The French royal obviously did not mind the small stature of her betrothed - a mere 1.6 metres tall (5ft 4 in) or his reputation for being rather stubborn, dull-witted, and a complete stranger to a sense of humour. The couple went on to have nine children, the two eldest sons being Charles (b. 1630) and James (b. 1633), both of whom would one day become king.

A happier life for Henry VIII's children. Part: 1.

Mary was the first surviving child of King Henry VIII of England from his first marriage to the Spanish princess Catherine of Aragon. The princess knew that she was not her parents' only child - all of her siblings died shortly after birth. The birth of a living and healthy child was a great happiness for King Henry and Queen Catherine, even though the child was a girl. That is why she became the king's favorite daughter. When she was 12 years old, her father decided to divorce her mother. Catherine did not resist the king's decision for a long time, but accepted the inevitable and agreed to the divorce with favorable terms. For this, the king, as promised, retained for Mary the status of princess and allowed the former spouse to communicate with his daughter. After the divorce for Mary little changed, she continued to grow up in the love of her father and mother, often visited both parents. The princess did not like her father's second wife, but did not show it. Anne Boleyn did not meet Henry's expectations, so he sent her to a convent under strict supervision. The king also wanted to declare Princess Elizabeth illegitimate, but Mary stood up for her sister and convinced her father not to do so. Soon the king married Jane Seymour, and a year after the wedding she gave him a long-awaited son, whom the happy father named Edward. In honor of this joyous event, Henry organized a grand feast that lasted for a whole week. In the same year, Princess Mary married Prince Henry, heir to the French throne. Before meeting his future wife, the dauphin had a love affair with Diana de Poitiers, but when he first saw his betrothed, he fell madly in love with her. Henry immediately severed all ties with Diana and was faithful to his wife until his death. The marriage of Mary and Henry turned out to be very happy. They had five children:

Francis II of France(1538 - 1604). Nicknamed "The Peacemaker" for the foreign policy calm during his reign. During his reign, France did not wage a single war. Husband of Helena of Austria, they had a good relationship. In marriage 7 children were born: Mary, Louis XIII, Anne, Henry, Christina, Philip, Gaston.

Claude of France(1541 - 1600). Queen of Spain. In 1556 she became the wife of Philip II. The spouses loved each other despite the big difference in age. They had 5 children: Philip III, Isabella, Joanna, Ferdinand, Diego.

Henry of France(1541 - 1589). Duke of Orleans. Was a favorite son for his mother, as from a young age showed a keen interest in religion. And when he became older he decided to devote his life to the service of God. He was not married and had no children.

Catherine of France(1544 - 1615). Archduchess of Austria. Favorite sister of Francis II. Was the second wife of Ferdinand II of Austria. The spouses did not love each other, but respected each other. In marriage 3 daughters were born: Anne, Mary, Eleanor. After the death of her husband returned to her homeland.

Charles of France(1546 - 1620). Duke of Angoulême. Because of his dissolute lifestyle he had conflicts with his mother. He married his cousin Jane, daughter of King Edward VI of England. The married life of Charles and Jane was not happy, because of his constant cheating. The marriage produced 4 children: Gedeon, Charlotte, Michelle and Cesar.

While in France, she did not forget about her family and maintained a close correspondence not only with her parents, but also with her second stepmother, because of the warm and close relationship between them. Before leaving, Mary and Jane had great difficulty convincing the king to bring Elizabeth to the palace so that she would not feel lonely. Henry initially had no paternal feelings for his second daughter, but was later able to develop a warmth for the girl. In 1540, Dauphine learned that her mother had died. She could not come to her funeral, as she was pregnant with her second child, but due to severe stress she had a miscarriage. Because of these events, the princess fell into depression, she did not leave her chambers and hardly ate anything. Her husband was with her all this time and provided as much support as possible, but when he realized that he could not cope, he invited Jane to help. She couldn't stay away and convinced Henry to let her go to Mary. After a few months, Mary recovered and all three returned to England. The king greeted his wife, daughter and son-in-law warmly. And the princess was finally able to honor her mother. She also spent time with her brother and sister because she missed them during the 6 years of absence. When Mary returned to France, she was already pregnant with her third child, and nine months later she gave birth to twins. Five years passed.During this time, Mary and Henry became king and queen of France and had two more children. They successfully ruled the kingdom. Shortly before his death, Henry 8 appointed his eldest daughter as regent under his young son. The queen excelled in her duties as regent and pursued a mild policy toward her subjects. When she realized that Edward was already capable of ruling on his own, she placed the power in his hands and returned to France. In 1559, King Henry of France fell from his horse while hunting and died. Mary mourned the death of her beloved husband for a long time and wore mourning for him for the rest of her life. She warmly remembered the 22 happy years they gave to each other and loved to tell her grandchildren about it. Mary often came to visit her brother, and the two developed a warm relationship. The dowager queen of France died in 1580. She was buried next to her husband Henry II in the Abbey of Saint-Denis.

German prosecutors have charged 27 suspected far-right extremists with planning a violent coup.

The suspects are accused of membership of the fringe Reichsbürger - or Citizens of the Reich - movement.

"The members of the group strongly rejected state institutions and the free democratic constitutional order," according to the indictment.

They are mostly associates of Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, a Reichsbürger figurehead from an aristocratic family.

Prosecutors have charged the 27 people with planning to overthrow Germany's democratic political system.

Concrete preparations were made for a coup beginning in summer 2021.

The plan was to seize power by invading the Bundestag, Germany's parliament, with a small group of armed personnel. The assault would be launched after receiving a signal, such as the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The alleged plotters had already determined how their new state would function after the coup.

Prince Reuss was planned to be head of state. On taking office, he would negotiate a peace treaty with the Allied powers which won World War II. Prince Reuss tried to meet representatives of the Russian government to gain support for the coup, according to prosecutors.

Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, then a member of the Bundestag for the far-right Alternative for Germany party, would have been made justice minister. Prosecutors said she granted access to parliamentary buildings to other co-conspirators.

The would-be rebels are alleged to have attempted to recruit soldiers and police officers.

The group had drawn up lists of enemies. Members were aware that their plans would result in people being killed, according to the indictment.

Members were made to sign a declaration of secrecy. Violators would have been executed for high treason.

The suspected plotters had access to about 380 firearms and 148,000 rounds of ammunition.

Some of the accused were arrested in federal police raids last December.

According to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic intelligence agency, there are about 23,000 followers of the Reichsbürger movement in the country.

On June 12th 1625, King Charles I married the French princess Henrietta Maria.

Okay, mebbes aye, mebbes naw, in other words this is another of those posts that the dates are all over the place,, not the only post today, if you looked at my previous post about William Wallace.

Okay Charles wasn’t meant to be king and only became heir when his brother Henry died in 1612. Charles had many admirable personal qualities, but he was painfully shy and insecure. He also lacked the charisma and vision essential for leadership. His stubborn refusal to compromise over power-sharing finally ignited civil war.

His choice of bride was one of those decisions that didn’t help with his popularity, she was labelled ‘popish brat of France’ and worshippers emerging from Mass in her private chapel were attacked ‘furiously with stones and weapons'. During the Civil War, there were rumours that she ruled, and overruled, her husband. She was, according to one source, ‘the true controller of the breeches’, in other words, she wore the trousers.

Charles had originally met the French princess Henrietta Maria when he visited the French court on his journey to Spain. Marriage to her would build a strong alliance with her brother King Louis XIII of France, provide access to his powerful army, and bring a generous dowry settlement. But Henrietta Maria was also a Catholic, and for that reason the marriage was unpopular in Protestant England.

The proxy wedding took place at Notre Dame Cathedral. Henrietta Maria was accompanied by her brother, Louis XIII, and followed by their mother, the formidable Marie de’ Medici, she of the same family who made Mary Queen of Scots unwelcome and pushed her out of France, knowing that it would cause problems for Elizabeth of England, as she had a strong case to be Queen of England as well.

Any way back to the subject at hand.

Despite her marriage to King Charles I, Henrietta Maria would never be crowned queen. She remained a devout Catholic all her life, and the coronation service was a Protestant one. Instead, she watched her husband be crowned from a distance. It was another mark against the young queen, who remained unpopular for all of Charles’s reign.

There’s no doubt it was a loving marriage, when she bid him farewell at Dover in 1642, the marriage Charles was seen ‘conversing with her in sweet discourse and affectionate embraces’. Neither of them was able to ‘restrain their tears’.

As her ship sailed away, Charles rode along the shore waving his hat, until the mast disappeared from view.

Nor is there any question about Henrietta Maria’s courage. The following year, she landed back in England on the Yorkshire coast. Her party came under fire from Parliamentarian soldiers.

‘The balls were whistling upon me,’ she wrote to Charles, ‘and you may easily believe I loved not such music.’ One man was killed, ‘torn and mangled with great shot’ only 20 paces from her.”

Charles himself did not lack courage, but his was that old Divine Right of Kings . He was convinced of the rightness of his cause. ‘God will not suffer rebels to prosper,’ he told his followers during the Civil War.

Historians are split about Henrietta’s role in the Civil war, some say it was limited, others that she was a strong-willed woman who dominated her weaker-willed husband. The 20th century historian wrote that “ she sought her advice on every subject, except religion"

Let’s not feel sorry for the Stuarts plight, the Scottish doctor, Andrew Leighton was flogged, branded and mutilated by having his ears cropped, for criticising Henrietta, before being imprisoned for life, but was freed and compensated under Cromwell’s rule.

Henrietta fled again in 1644, to France, where she begged Charles to accept a Presbyterian government in England as a means of mobilising Scottish support for the re-invasion of England, but he was a stubborn bastard and dismissed the idea.

The English killed King Charles in 1649 and his death left Henrietta Maria almost destitute and in shock. She founded a convent in France and stayed there until around 1560, by 1665 she was suffering from a serious Bronchitis infection, which she blamed on the weather in London, she moved back to France, where she died four years later.

Henrietta Marie was buried at Saint Denis Basilique near Paris beside her father, King Henri IV of France.

Probably the biggest legacy of Henrietta’s life is the state of Maryland in the USA was named in her honour.

SAINT OF THE DAY (December 1)

Edmund Campion was born in London on 25 January 1540. He was raised as a Catholic.

He had such a powerful and flamboyant intellect that at the age of only 17, he was made a junior fellow at Saint John’s College of Oxford University.

On visiting the university, Queen Elizabeth I was so taken by Edmund’s brilliance, as were a few of her dignitaries, that she bid him to ask for anything that he wished.

The exaltation and praise of so many fed his vanity and eventually led him away from his Catholic faith.

He took the Oath of Supremacy and acknowledged the Queen as head of the church. He also became an Anglican deacon.

However, his brilliant intellect and his conscience would not allow him to be reconciled to the idea of Anglicanism for too long.

After staying a period of time in Dublin, he turned back to his Catholic faith and returned to England.

At this point, he was suspected of being too Catholic and was shaken when he witnessed the trial of a soon to be martyr.

It carried him to the conviction that his vocation was to minister to the Catholic faithful in England who were being persecuted. He also felt the call to convert Protestants.

He set off to Rome barefoot. In 1573, he entered the Society of Jesus.

He was ordained in 1578 and had a vision in which the Virgin Mary foretold him of his martyrdom.

When he returned to England, he made an immediate impression, winning many converts.

On 17 July 1581, he was betrayed by one of the faithful who knew his whereabouts and was thrown into prison.

The queen offered him all manner of riches if he would forsake his loyalty to the Pope, but he refused.

After spending some time in the Tower of London, he was sentenced to death by hanging, drawing, and quartering.

His martyrom in Tyburn on 1 December 1581 sparked off a wave of conversions to Catholicism.

He was beatified by Pope Leo XIII on 29 December 1886. He was canonized by Pope Paul VI on 25 October 1970, as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.

So I'm a fan of p3 twin aus and something I've wondered but haven't seen anyone else like address(at least to my knowledge) is what arcana would the twins social link with each other be? Because you can not tell me they wouldn't have a social link with eachother.

This curiosity is what led me to make my own p3 twin au that has greatly spiraled out of control(I have so many connected and offshoot aus that stem from this) and I'm not just gonna share what I made the social link between the twins but all the social links the twins have for this au!! Because I have very little self control, (Under a read more of course, this gets very long)

0. Fool: S.E.E.S(Both)

Same as canon, there's literally no reason to change this.

0. Jester -> XXI. Universe: Shiomi Kotone(Minato) Shiomi Minato(Kotone)

Originally I had the social link between them just be the Fool but being numbered 23 instead of 0 (the socal link for SEES was still the 0 Fool) because they're basically sharing the same wildcard journey, but then I remembered that the Jester existed so I looked at the wiki-

" The Jester symbolizes much of what the Fool symbolizes--ignorance, spontaneity, and freedom--but in a suppressed form. In the case of the Jester, the querent is misguided and unwilling to work with others, in contrast to the Fool, who is compatible with everyone. Ultimately, the Jester acts like a fool instead of genuinely being a fool. "

-and honestly? I think the p3 mcs could end up like this, especially at the start of the game which is around the time this social link would be established, I could get into all the reasons I think this fits for them but this post is long enough already.

Anyway idea for the progression of the social link is that it would be the Jester till like rank 9? and be stuck on that rank no matter what they try till something major happens and the social link arcana changes to the Universe for rank 10!

I. Magician: Iori Junpei(Both)

Yeah I'm gonna be prioritizing the plot relevant characters sooooo Kenji gets the boot, he can appear in Minato's social link with Junpei as a side character tho,

I'm honestly baffled why Junpei wasn't the magician social link from the beginning??? Like why?? I can't even be mad about it that's how baffled I am,

For the social link progression itself Kotone's is basically unchanged and Minato's I'm gonna use Junpei's Linked Episodes as a baseline for it.

II. Priestess: Yamagishi Fuuka(Both)

III. Empress: Kirijo Mitsuru

IV. Emperor:

V. Hierophant:

V. Apostle: Kurosawa ???(Both)

VI. Lovers: Takaba Yukari(Both)

VII. Chariot: Kazushi(Minato) Rio(Kotone)

Kazushi Is on the Track Team and Rio is on the Volleyball Team

VIII. Justice: Amada Ken(Both)

IX. Hermit: "Maya"

X. Fortune: Keisuke(Minato) Saori(Kotone)

Keisuke is in the photography club and Saori is in the Library Committee

XI. Strength: Koromaru(Both)

Yuko I'm sorry ;-;

XII. Hanged-Man: Maiko

XIII. Death: Pharos

Ok so how this works is

XIV. Temperance: Bede(Both)

XV. Devil: Ikutsuki(Both)

*SLAMS DESK* I NEED TO KNOW WTF IS UP WITH THIS GUY, EVEN IF I HAVE TO MAKE IT UP,

My idea is that both mcs do reach rank 10 with him but it doesn't change a thing the only thing it changes is Ikutsuki trys really really hard to get the mcs to join, also we hear about sho!!

XVI. Tower: Mutatsu(Both)

XVII. Star: Akihiko(Both)

XVIII. Moon: Shinjiro(Both)

XIX. Sun: Akinari

XX. Judgement: Elizabeth(Minato) Theodore(Kotone)

Yeah I wanted a social link for the attendances and like this isn't even really a social link in p3

XX. Aeon: Aigis(Both)

Faith: Mochizuki Ryoji(Both)

Aislin’s Witch Verse Info — V: Burn Your Village

*Inspired by the portrayal of witches in A.gatha A.ll A.long & my own experiences as a pagan witch, and studies of the historical treatment of “witches”. This is also a more…horror?…genre verse*

CW: Witch trials (Europe & Salem), historical misogyny/bigotry, religion discussion, death, parent disappearance, murder, necromancy,

Aislin is the daughter of the goddess Freyja and the god Tyr, however they’d both taken mortal forms during the time Aislin wa conceived, resulting in Aislin having divine “gifts”, yet not being immortal herself. After her fourth birthday, her parents had to return to their respective homes and left Aislin to be raised by her older sister: Relta McLeod. She was born in 1599, Relta born in 1589.

Aislin and Relta are both “blood witches”: Aislin being able to commune with and raise the dead; and Relta able to heal or cause any pain or ailment she chooses.

Due to Relta’s biological father coming from what would become the United Kingdom, they fled there in hopes of finding relatives to life with. Fortunately, she found an affluent aunt who was able to bring them to the court of the current monarch of England.

However, it was a chaotic time, and a dangerous one for anyone suspected of witchcraft. Relta taught Aislin how to conceal her gifts as to avoid being suspected of heresy or anything otherwise “unchristian”.

Aislin’s soul, or at least part of it that wasn’t “added” by her incarnation’s biological parents, had lived through earlier witch trials and witch hunt. Unfortunately, Aislin has memories of these deaths of hers that she relives via dreams.

Aislin and Relta secretly worship their mother, Freyja, while openly practicing the most “popular” of England’s religions in the early 1600s. Due to the European wars of religion in the 16th and 17th centuries, this caused the girls and their “spinster” aunt to have to move around the future UK frequently to avoid being caught for being the “wrong” type of Christian, or not being “Christian enough”. They passed as Protestant during Queen Elizabeth I’s reign and that of King James VI & I and his successors.

Aislin, reaching eighteen years old, fled to the French court of Louis XIII. She was made a lady-in-waiting to Louis XIII’s wife, and served her faithfully. She also, publicly, converted to the French “popular” religion of Roman Catholicism. She also became good friends with Queen Anne, the two close in age with Aislin a few years older.

She remained in the Bourbon court until she realized she had to use her powers to glamour herself to make it appear she aged. She’d even served as Louis XIV’s English tutor despite being a woman due to Queen Anne’s trust in her when Anne’s son was a child.

Once Louis XIV began to come into his own as king, Aislin left for the French countryside to supposedly “live out the end of her life”. Instead, she did leave for the French countryside, however she worked as a midwife’s apprentice in a small town and eventually became a midwife herself.

In truth, despite neither Relta or Aislin knowing, their “spinster aunt” had actually been The Morrigan looking over them for Lugh.

After the French Revolution…calmed down…Aislin returned to French high society, claiming to be “Lady Aislin Fitzroy”, a descendant of Queen Anne’s beloved servant, “Lady Aislin McLeod”.

She occasionally feigns her death or disappears for a time, returning about every two generations to rejoin high society yet not be recognized by anyone.

In modern times, Aislin is openly a pagan witch and runs an antique story in NY…that also happens to be full of magical items that she has hidden in a sealed back room. She also sells “witchy tools” to those genuinely curious, such as tar.ot decks and selenite sticks.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT ELISABETH OF SCHÖNAU Feast Day: June 18

"Do not delay in serving your God. Walk in the way of His contemplation, like beloved daughters, with every humility and love and obedience, without murmuring, without detraction, without envy and similar things, but like young lambs pleasing to the living God."

Elisabeth of Schönau was a German Benedictine nun and visionary who lived in the 12th century. She is known for her mystical experiences, writings, and her devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Elisabeth was born in 1129 in a small village near the Rhine River, in what is now Germany. She was the daughter of a noble family and was raised in a religious household. At a young age, she felt a strong calling to the religious life and eventually entered the Benedictine convent of Schönau, located near the city of Bonn.

During her time at the convent, Elisabeth began to experience mystical visions and revelations. She claimed to receive messages from God, the Virgin Mary, and various saints. She recorded these experiences in a series of letters and writings, which were compiled into a book titled 'The Book of Divine Works'.

Her mystical experiences made her a revered figure among her fellow nuns and the local community. Her writings were read widely and attracted the attention of church officials. However, her visions were also controversial, and some accused her of being possessed by demons. Despite these criticisms, Elizabeth continued to write and pray fervently. She remained in the convent until her death on June 18,1164 at the age of 35 and was buried in the abbey church of St. Florin.

In 1584, Elisabeth was beatified by Pope Gregory XIII, and in 1740, she was canonized by Pope Benedict XIV. She is the patron saint of Schönau, Germany, and is also venerated as a protector against fever and sickness.

Elisabeth was one of several female mystics who lived in the Rhineland during the 12th century. Others included Saint Hildegard of Bingen, a Benedictine abbess and Doctor of the Church, and St. Mechthild of Magdeburg, a mystic and author of Das fließende Licht der Gottheit (The Flowing Light of Divinity). These women were all known for their profound spiritual experiences and their contributions to the religious and cultural life of their time.

Elisabeth's life and writings continue to inspire many people today, particularly those who seek a deeper spiritual connection with God. Her devotion to the Virgin Mary and her commitment to the religious life serve as a powerful example of faith and dedication.

Life and Legacy of Francesca Cabrini

Early Years and Religious Calling

Francesca Cabrini came from an ordinary family and was born in Sant’Angelo Lodigiano, Italy, on July 15, 1850. At the age of seventeen, as the youngest child, she confronted many misfortunes, such as bad health. Contrary to her overwhelming belief, her will to succeed was further renewed by her firm religious conviction. From the time you really know her, you understand that the right choice for her is to join as a missionary to serve. At first, she was rejected because of her illness and for turning to religious orders. However, she believed firmly that she would accomplish her goal of serving God. Serenaded by the advice of Leo the XIII, given an instruction to help not go to the east but to the west, she proceeded by working with Italian emigrants whose numbers were on an upward trend.

Path to Sainthood

Francesca Cabrini, despitethe fact that her devoted service never went unappreciated, Five years after her death on December 22, 1917, the beatification process began, and on November 13, 1938, it was St. Elizabeth of Czeczec who was beatified by Pope Pius XI. At this point, she was proclaimed a saint of heaven on July 7, 1946; consequently, she was the first United States citizen to acquire the title.

Maria Theresa of Habsbourg was Empress of Austria and her husband was only a consort. She rode alongside her troops even when heavily pregnant. She also had 16 children and cared deeply for every single one of them. Elizabeth of France was sent as a teen to marry a prince of Savoie about her age. They fell in love before even getting married and she assumed the position of a prime minister to her husband all throughout their lives. Héloïse is one of the most famous theologists of medieval France, she was born in 1092. Mary Stuart's whole life was full of plots and many men swore fealty to her instead of her husband. Anne de Bretagne was secretly betrothed by her father to at least three different guys simultaneously because her father wanted multiple alliances to win a war. She later married the king of France and fought so fiercely that only after her death was her duchy annexed by France. Today still, you can ask around in Bretagne who Anne was and they'll tell you a few things. Ask who François II de Bretagne (her father) was and no one will be able to say. Jeanne de France was a disabled girl who went on to become queen of France and then a saint. Saint Louis IX of France was a very powerful king who lived all his life after the education his mother gave him and the maxims and orders she had for him as a kid. Louis XIII and Louis XIV had to resort to political assassinations or civil war to get rid of the influence of their respective mothers over the kingdom and become kings of their own rights. Artemisia Gentileschi and Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun were official, court-endorsed painters. Hildegard of Bingen was, like prev said, a polymath and a doctor who'se findings are still used today. Women might not have gone to universities as frequently as men until twenty years ago, but that was because they didn't have the same role as men in society. Heck, do you think when Oxford was created most of society went to school long enough to pursue a university, even only among men?

Women in medieval england could inherit property by themselves even if they weren't widows. Women in France and Norway and probably somewhere else could vote (the french women's right to vote was taken away by the revolutionaries in the 1790's and given back in 1945). Women were in charge of finances. Women were in charge of the shop or working alongside men in the field. Women weren't just either gender-non-conforming warriors or whores. Women have always been people just like everyone else. Just like autistic people were loved and weren't abandonned in the woods to die like some people seem to think, women were loved and loved back, women gained and spent money, women had influence on every single domain.
