well, the king’s assassin has received the ✨sticker✨ treatment

[moonbreezes]

I’m digging this portrait to actor Buckingham adaptations

that means every George, even the cunty eyebrow one, gets his irl cunty eyebrow

Oh this is also my personal Buckingham onscreen portrayal ranking (I’m still hoping that one day I’ll get a really good one tho)

rumoured lover

god damn

rest in piece that one 1623 December letter form James to George about marriage and shit

also rest in 🥧 my dear secret passageway from George’s to James’s chambers in Apethorpe

and rest in pie other little and big things

Not them putting “rumored lover” as if we don’t have written evidence of their relationship 🙄

Imagine that being your job for a day, just show up and “have sex” with Nicholas Galitzine and then go home 😭😂

MARY & GEORGE - 1.01 'The Second Son'

[moonbreezes]

It absolutely baffles me, that all of the people behind Mary and George knew (quite well actually) some of the contemporary sources regarding the events of that time, quoting them during interviews. (Even though the base sm is the king’s assassin which is on many levels bad and well quotes gossip as truth) they still made the conscious decision to strip this story of some important bits and pieces for the spectacle and wow effect. Even though it was absolutely unnecessary because well, as they said it themselves, that part of the history is absolutely wild, unbelievable and and so interesting.

On the 24th of March 1603, King James VI of Scotland of the Stuart Dynasty succeeded his cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England. He was crowned King of England and Ireland on the 25th of July of that year. He reigned England and Ireland for 22 years. He was succeeded by his second son, the ill-fated Charles I. The picture you see here is the Stuart Family Tree portrait (c.1603), depicting his Tudor and Stuart ancestry, and thus from the former, his claim to the English throne that stemmed from Margaret Tudor, eldest daughter of Henry VII. To honor his Tudor predecessor, he transferred the bodies of Elizabeth and Mary into one tomb and had one big effigy commemorating the former. The only mention that pointed to Mary being buried there was a plaque that hoped that the two would be reunited in the afterlife and in the resurrection.

Sadly, James VI of Scotland and I of England and Ireland didn’t turn out to be a popular King (in the long run). He sponsored the arts, like William Shakespeare (as Elizabeth I had done), but his flamboyance annoyed many people and before you know it, people began looking to the past, feeling nostalgic about the ‘good old days’ when Queen Elizabeth I was their monarch.

I find it quite funny (and meh) that we got king James literally going off with those dog(esque) jokes, but there were no dogs besides mrs Ashcattle’s hound. Although it is quite well known that James loved his dogs, often spending a lot of time in the kennels (not only on the hunt) with them.
