#look I know this is a silly hill to die on but as a history nerd I feel I must die on it#George Villiers was not a prince or royalty and barely even nobility#his father died when George was young and they were on the edge of povert but his mum sent him to France to learn to be a courtier#he was also used as a pawn by some court members to oust the kings old favourite that they did not like#so he was essentially sponsored to stay in court and seduce the king#like I said I get it it’s probably not worth my breath#but I think it’s important to know George and his mother worked to pull their family out of obscurity and near poverty#to George receiving dukedom#ANYWAY.#mary & george#nicholas galitzine
