Barbara of Cilli or Barbara of Celje (1392 – 11 July 1451), was the Holy Roman Empress and Queen of Hungary and Bohemia by marriage to Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund. She was actively involved in politics and economy of her times, independently administering large feudal fiefdoms and taxes, and was instrumental in creating the famous royal Order of the Dragon. She served as the regent of Hungarian kingdom in the absence of her husband four times: in 1412, 1414, 1416, and 1418.

Two medieval sculptures from the Municipal Crato Museum:

On the top, we have Saint Bartholomew, a work in alabaster from the late XIV Century; this piece it was, probably, imported from England.

On the bottom, we have Saint Andrew. This XV Century statue was once painted, and it used to be in the Hermitage of Saint Andrew, in Crato.

O giorno di tristizia e pien di danno,

o ora e punto reo ch’io nato fui

e venni al mondo per dare ad altrui

di pene essempio d’amore e d’affanno!

Se le pene che l’alme in lo ’nferno hanno

fossero un corpo il qual venisse pui

nel mondo, già non si vedriano in lui

cotante pene quante in me si stanno.

Tu solo, Amor, m’hai messo in tale stato,

e di me fatto hai fonte di martìri,

di malignanza e di tristizia loco;

e mi fai dimorar in ghiaccio e ’n foco,

e di pianto e d’angoscia e di sospiri

pasci il mio cor dolente disperato.

("O giorno di tristizia e pien di danno," Cino da Pistoia, Rime, XIV Century)

17th century dress inspired by my beloved Versailles royal court fashion. It's mostly handsewn, made out of satin and trimmed with lace. It was the first serious historical costume i have ever made. And to be honest, my favourite one <3

Hair, makeup, model and photo by me <33

CHÂTEAU DE CLAGNY (WIP) Part 6 - Interiors

Cabinet

Petit Cabinet

Chambre du Roi

On the Clagny floor plan there are two "chambres de parade", but there is no indication of who would occupy them. One of them, obviously, must have been for Madame de Montespan. The other, I believe was for the king, although I have found no record that Louis XIV actually slept there (which does not exclude the possibility). Due to the dimensions of my version of Clagny, I chose to make the king's room as a "chambre à coucher" instead of a "chambre de parade" with the balustrade.

Antichambre

Thanks to @labuenosairesfrancaise, @reboniroyalsims and @thegoldensanctuary (and the wonderful conversations I have with each of them) and also to so many other creators and their beautiful CC.

In an emergency, don't call your national emergency number, call Louis XIV:

From a letter by Elisabeth Charlotte "Liselotte" Duchess of Orléans, to her aunt Sophie von Hannover, dated 14 December 1676:

Translation:

Your Grace, who admires our King so greatly because he has done so well being by my side when I was in labour, will also love him on account of this tale, as he himself was the first to arrive by my side, as pale as death, and despite assuring him that I was neither hurt nor had I fallen on my head, he would not calm himself until he felt my head from all sides and found that what I had said was true; he personally led me to my chamber and remained with me for a long time to see whether I would not be a little dizzy.

Well, who would have thought Louis XIV would turn out to have been a supportive presence you'd want to have around while giving birth, or that he (in this instance at least) provided first aid for a presumed concussion that still stands the test of time?

Realisation of the Day:

Louis XIV would have done a better job treating my concussion from an accident a few years back than the 21st century hospital A&E did.

È sono sì altamente innamorato,

a la merzé d'una donna e d'Amore,

che non è al mondo re né imperadore

a cui volesse io già cambiar mio stato:

ch'io amo quella a cui Dio ha donato

tutto ciò che convene a gentil core;

donqua, chi di tal donna è servidore

ben se po' dir che 'n buon pianeto è nato.

Ed ella ha 'l cor tanto cortese e piano

inver' di me, la mia gentile manza,

che, sua mercé, basciata li ho la mano.

E sì me diè ancor ferma speranza

che di qui a poco, se Dio me fa sano,

che compierò di lie' mia disianza.

("È sono sì altamente innamorato ", Cecco Angiolieri, Rime, XXXIII, XIII/XIV Century)
