ascanio and louis xii
so
Milan Undone, Contested Sovereignties in the Italian Wars, John Gagné
extremely bold of louis xii to assume that ascanio, who has a reputation for conspiracy, wouldn't turn around and say 'fuck you,' after all of that™
(Ibid.)
it IS funny how men in power keep thinking they can put him on a leash like, pal. the odds are NOT in your favor
#ludovico couldn't keep his brother on a leash what makes you think YOU can#(guiliano della rovere is excluded from this club bc he actually succeeded on that front but i dont respect him)#anyway you guys ever think about how ascanio just wanted to be in milan but the milan that was your home doesnt exist anymore#like you're never gonna be able to go back. and ludovico at one point made arrangements for ascanio's body#to be brought back to milan back when everyone thought he was going to die. but he's going to die in rome and he's staying there#augh. AUGH#actually the shift in the relationship between ludovico and ascanio from a general sense of unease to ludovico#wanting ascanio buried with his wife (and the scale of grief that ludovico had at the death of beatrice. oughhhh) is. oof#there's a second very Hm™ comparison here that i will bite my tongue on but it's also their parents fault for it. so.#drawing tag#italian renaissance tag#ascanio sforza#do i have a tag for louis xii. i know ive drawn him before. I HATE HIS HAIR. i might throw out referencing his historical portraits#entirely and just borrow a portrayal of him from television or something#i was not made to draw straight hair
