Lady Clementina Hawarden

Sleep Hygiene Jill Khoury

A bed should be a tender slab, devoid of insects.

A tired woman should be able to lie across diagonally, headache to hag feet.

A bed should exist in crystalline silence.

It should have a sleepy blue view. A nearby window not close to voyeurs.

A bed should have a special pillow to shush the head, to coddle and safety the amygdala.

If established on the ground, a bed should have a bioluminescent quilt to redirect the gaze: the prey is over there.

If established in a tree, the quilt may allow for free feet or a tossback with luxuriant abandon.

Among other things, do not build your bed on dictionaries or books of any kind.

A bed is best made from a wood frame, or metal, or dark matter.

A bed should be free of lye, lime, and liars.

One should be able to enter the bed and think I could fly far away in this. I could die; I could just die.

April 21st 1746 saw Glasgow host formal celebrations to mark the defeat of the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden, and award the Duke of Cumberland the freedom of the city.

The Town Council of Glasgow became the first municipality to confer the Freedom of the City on Cumberland. They were followed by Edinburgh and Dundee, even as Cumberland was presiding over a campaign of genocide in the Highlands and Islands. He could have gone south to a no-doubt rapturous reception in London, but stayed for three months to personally supervise the genocide and then left orders to his officers and men who were only too happy to carry out his butchery.

There is a simple explanation for Glasgow’s civic actions – to them, he was the good guy and Charles wasn’t bonnie but a baddie. It was a Whig town, loyal to the House of Hanover and opposed to Jacobitism, and was doing very well out of the Union with millions of pounds of tobacco being landed on the Clyde and treated for export across the UK and Europe.

At the turn of the year, Glaswegians had also experienced a week-long occupation by Charles and the Jacobite army and had been none too impressed, not least because the Prince demanded £15,000 and fresh clothing for his men – he got £5500 and a lot of shirts.

According to one source Charles himself was not as popular with the ladies as he had been in Edinburgh, though it was in Glasgow that he first met his future mistress Clementina Walkinshaw. He also apparently had time enough to father a child who grew up to be a Kirk minister.

Glasgow militia had been the reserves for the government army at the Battle of Falkirk Muir, so it is no surprise that the city was in raptures when news came through of Cumberland’s victory over the Jacobites at Culloden.

According to excerpts from the records of the Town Council: “The event was duly ‘solemnized’ with a cake and wine banquet by the city fathers on 21st April, and a deputation was sent to Inverness to congratulate the Duke of Cumberland, who was presented with the freedom of the city in a gold box.”

In June, Glasgow University was among the first educational establishments to confer an honorary doctorate on the man who by then was still only 25 – Aberdeen and St Andrews Universities would later make him Chancellor.

The Glasgow citation read: “Who, by the blessing of God, has put an end to the unnatural and wicked Rebellion that threatened destruction to all our Religious and Civil Rights and Liberties … the Rector Principal Professor of Divinity and Professor of Law are appointed to wait upon his Royal Highness when he comes South, and present the diploma with the Universities compliments to him”.

Cumberland had overnight become the most popular man in lowland Scotland. It was only when the Tories in England learned of the aftermath of Culloden that he was nicknamed the Butcher – an English invention and one that stuck. The Scottish public later passed their verdict when a type of foul-smelling ragwort was called Stinking Billy. Tories were the opposition to the Whigs.

It surprises me that there have been no motions to rescind the honours bestowed on Cumberland, given the atrocities carried out by his men in his name in the aftermath of Culloden. A petition to to repeal the freedom of the city bestowed on Cumberland was submitted in 2017 bu a guy called John Toner, but for whatever reason he must not have shared it, the only signature on it was his own, hence it was rejected. More recently there have been calls to rename Cumberland Street in Glasgow.

Hello one and all and welcome to the The Duchess Affair name post. This is a list of period-accurate given names you can give your MC if you need some inspiration or want to know what kinds of names ladies had back then. I've combed through the 1809 edition of Debrett's Peerage for names of noblewomen in the 1600s and 1700s in Britain, which is where I'm taking the liberty of assuming TDA is set.

As always, you can drop any questions in my inbox, I love love love playing reference librarian :-)

Most names in this period either came from the Bible or from literature. The Bible was the most common book owned and read, so Biblical names were frequently seen. Some nobles liked to show off how cultured and educated they were by naming their children after mythological figures or characters from poetry and history, but most people of all classes named children after ancestors or loved ones (which explains why it seems like it was the same dozen names getting passed around again and again.)

Very common names -- the majority of women back then had one of these names:

Anne

Caroline

Catharine (not a typo – this was the standard spelling in the 1700s!)

Charlotte

Diana

Elizabeth

Frances

Georgiana

Henrietta

Isabella

Jane

Louisa

Margaret

Maria (pronounced like “Mariah”)

Martha

Mary

Sarah

Sophia

Less common but not unheard-of names:

Agnes

Alathea

Albinia/Albina

Alicia/Alice

Amelia/ Emilia/Emily

Arabella

Augusta

Barbara

Bridget

Cassandra

Cecilia/Cecily

Clarissa

Constance/Constantia

Dorothea/Dorothy

Eleanor

Emma

Gertrude

Grace

Harriet/Harriott

Hester

Honora/Honoria

Jemima

Judith

Julia

Juliana

Lavinia

Laetitia/Letitia

Laura

Lucy

Marianna/Marianne

Matilda

Penelope

Priscilla

Rachael

Rebecca

Susan/Susanna/Susannah

Theodosia

Theresa

Thomasina/Thomasine

Rarities and oddities -- I only came across these names once or twice each, use them to add a bit of flavor and eccentricity!!!:

Abigail

Amabel/Amabella

Amantha

Anastasia

Angelica

Annabella

Antonia

Araminta

Beatrix

Camilla

Christiana/Christina

Clara

Clementia/Clementina

Dulcibella

Esme

Ethelred

Eugenia

Felicia

Flavia

Flora

Florentia

Frederica

Gabriella

Helen/Helena

Horatia

Josepha

Leonora

Madelina

Margaretta

Narcissa

Octavia

Olivia

Philadelphia

Rose

Selina

Sibella/Sibilla/Sibylla

Tryphena

Urania

Winifred

And just for fun, some extremely British sounding surnames I found that made me chuckle aristocratically:

Beckington

Cavendish

Chatham

Courtenay

Dalrymple

Darlington

Fortescue

Gainsborough

Kingscote

Lovelace

Mountstuart

Ogilvie

Pembroke

Pierrepont

Posonby

Tattershall

Twisleton

Wentworth

Willoughby

It's about the OC you recently posted w/ the lady revolution leader & from the POV from the male LI I think

OKOKOKOK THATS WHAT I THOUGHT BUT I DIDNT KNOW IF I DID ANYTHING ELSE WKJHGSASDFGH

(This is just going to be random information and facts I like asdfghj)

Their society is split into a caste system, from highest to lowest it's Diamonds (who usually uphold the law and are more likely to get positions of power) Spades (upper class, businessmen), Hearts (minimum wage workers or maybe businessmen), and Clubs (usually hard labor workers). Although there isn't exactly a difference in how they're provided for, everyone has the same housing opportunities and they aren't segregated in any way (theres technically nothing stopping a Club from trying to be a politician) theres still bias that will make it a lot harder for them to get the position.

The "main" girl is eighteen year old Clementina, she lives next to Guy and was essentially raised by him (their relationship is 100% father/daughter, and he often checks up on her or gives her food, she trusts him 100%) she's a Heart who is in love with a Club (her boyfriend Archer), this leads them both to decide to challenge the Empire (not fully delved into in the story so I don't have the details exactly but it's basically an appointed person of each caste who keep all the rules in place) in order to abolish how the caste system is currently implemented.

But that plot (even though I like it a lot), is mostly on the back burner. Guy himself is pretty oblivious to the revolution. The story itself is supposed to show how a normal day to day person functions in a society thats going under drastic changes. He doesn't do anything heroic, he's a normal middle aged man who works from home doing finance. His side of the story is pretty domestic for the first portion, but eventually it turns to him trying to stay optimistic when, even though he's a regular citizen, he gets caught in the crossfire that Clementina caused.

Lady Hamilton, Nelson and Neapolitan Patriots: Luisa Sanfelice/III (part 17)

Lady Hamilton, Nelson and Neapolitan Patriots: Luisa Sanfelice/III (part 17)

On 26 September 1800 the Crown Princess Maria Clementina gave birth to an heir to the throne. When next morning the king came to see the infant, she asked him , instead of the traditional “three graces”, to which she was entitled, the life of the unfortunate Luisa Sanfelice. The request was written on a piece of paper placed between the baby’s swaddling clothes, so that the king could see it .…

"And the speck of my heart, in my shed of flesh and bone, began to sing out, the way the sun would sing if the sun could sing, if light had a mouth and a tongue, if the sky had a throat, if god wasn't just an idea but shoulders and a spine, gathered from everywhere, even the most distant planets, blazing up. Where am I? Even the rough words come to me now, quick as thistles. Who made your tyrant's body, your thirst, your delving, your gladness? Oh tiger, oh bone-breaker, oh tree on fire! Get away from me. Come closer."

- Mary Oliver West Wind
