About Mary&George, there's something really important to understand about king James's attitude.

James VI and I was deepley traumatized because he had a shitty and traumatic childhood, something who affected him for all his life.

The first trauma happened when he wasn't even born!!!

9th march 1566, queen Mary's secretary, the Italian Davide Rizzio ( or Riccio ) was stabbed 57 times by plotters, he tried to save himself hiding behind the queen but it doesn't work.

Mary was deeply traumatized for this not only per sè but for an other motive. She was six moth pregnant and lord Ruthven pointed his sword against his belly and threated to cut her "in pieces". Yes, James was not even born, it was said that he was afraid of swords 'cause this.

when he was 8 months his father was killed, by the man who became his stepfather, his mother was innocent

The 24 april 1567 he saw for the last time his mother, queen Mary Stuart was abducted, imprisoned and raped by james Hepbun lord bothwell. Yes, I know for someone Mary/Bothwell are a very romantic love story but let's be clear. it was a toxic relationship

Two moths later his mother is forced to amrry Bothwell 'cause she's pregnant, with twins, and after a short civil war she's imprisoned by the queen Elizabeth

James is crowned king at 13 months and the regency is on his half uncle, lord James Moray

James Moray was killed in 1570

The the regenty become yhe king's granfather: Matthew Lennox

Matthew Lennox was killed when James was 5, and it's very gory: the consipirator stab him in front of the child, Lennox tried to save himself behind his king, and grandchild but he was taken away by force, then his body, baraly alive, was take near a window and throw away.... ALL OF THIS in front a 5 year child

James was physically abused by his tutor George Buchanan, a puritan fanatic who hates monarchy and beat his pupil nearly every day. James will be one of the most cultured king but he the trauma never left him, one day when he was already king of England he met an old man who looks like Buchanan and he started to tremble.

He said about his tutor "I learned Latin before English", Buchanan also lied about queen Mary's involment in the Darley's death

when he was 13 he met hsi father's cousin, Esmé Stuart and he fall in love with him. Esmé is 39, he's catholic and French so after one year he is forced toi exil but he helps James to start to debunk some things about his mother

when he was 14 he was abucted for an year and nearly killed

It could be end very bad, with James become a psycho but luckly he become a very traumatized man who seek affection from everyone, he came out at 13 so... Esmé, John, Philip, Richard, Robert and then George, he always tried to recreate the relationship between him and Esmé.

and that's all folks

Wishes for Mary & George

Mandatory:

poop jokes

Likely:

Spanish Adventure is shown in full ridiculousness with the worst fake beards EVER

1623(? I think) carriage incident

Reasonable hopes:

Going deep on the extremely weird adoptive brother/stepfather relationship of George and Charles

Francis Bacon is there and gay (I thought this was a long shot but I see FRANCIS BACON IS CAST!)

George horrifies the French court by putting his feet up on a chair

James is depicted as motivated not by sex as much as by love, and it's by understanding this that George achieves supremacy

James repeatedly falls off his horse

Longshot:

Henry Frederick

Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke

William Monson and/or Arthur Brett

Ludovic Stewart

Desperate pipe dream:

GEORGE DOESNT POISON JAMES

Hey I made a Twitter thread on the myth of James VI/I being super infested with lice because he didn't bathe

The kings and queens song if it was the British monarch at the time when a ghost died (excluding robin):

Edward, good queen Bess, Jimmy, George, George, George, George 6 and Liz 2 complete the mix according to the ghosts.

So turns out the new Mary and George Villiers series is book based - It is based on The King's Assassin: The Fatal Affair of George Villiers and James I by Benjamin Woolley.

TW// mentions of grooming and sa

I have a question about King James:) A lot of people on Twitter (since a new small clip came out of the king and George) have said that George was a victim of King James and was taken advantage of, exploited (mainly by his mom), and abused. I was wondering if this was true about the King because people have said (and I’m just reading what people are saying) ‘he’s man who’s double his age, has power over him in multiple ways to take advantage of his financial struggles (and the situation his mother manipulated him into), and make him essentially one of his pets and become extremely obsessive over him’. I’ve also seen people agree with them but also saying that nobody in the show is innocent even George (I think he sa’d someone apparently?).

I just wanted to ask because I’ve also heard a lot of the struggles King James has had to over come in his life (I saw an anon else where saying he was disabled in a few ways) and it makes me wonder if the King was a good man, bad man, or just both in a way?

So, it's very difficoult to respond in alanguage that is not my birt language but I will try.

James had a lot of trauma in his first years, he saw his granfather die in fron of his eyes when he was 5, he was physically abused by his tutor and brainwashed by his own court. He was a frail man, with a patetic desider of love and be loved.

So with George, but with Robbie, Philiph and the others too was booth way: he taken advantage and he was taken advantage of him.

James was 50 when he met George, who was 22 but George ruled the king as he was the king himsfelf, and James allowed that. He allowed George had his own favourite even, Wat Montague.

So... James was a man of his times, George too and we cannot judge them with our parameters, especially George who tried to rape the queen of France. I know, in the Three Muskeeters it said it was love but it's the XIX century were rape was seen as love and what happeened between him and Anne of Auistria was attempted rape

[james-vi-stan-blog]

I’m not sure if it’s just me but I’m really hoping they give a bit of a backstory to James. I honestly love how tragic and complex he is and I’d hate to see him being watered down to just some sex obsessed man.

It may be wishful thinking but I think one of these scenes could include it:

You can see it, right?

'When King James VI of Scotland became James I of England in 1603 after Queen Elizabeth I's death ... he did not have a smooth succession, as within months a plot to remove him from power was discovered.'
