The early units of Native Police were created in 1908 and fought in the 1911 campaign alongside the Harka irregular units. From 1912 onwards they were organised into mias or companies under the name of the kabila that they served. The senior ranks and officers belonged to any Corps of the Spanish Army whereas the recruits were drawn from members of the kabila.

The mission of the Native Police was to guarantee law and order in the kabilas and to smooth the way for political "action and territorial organisation" Consequently, they increased in number at the same rate as the growth of Spanish occupation of North Africa. With the increase in the number of armed incidents, the units began to be deployed in military operations thereby shedding its role as a guarantor of law and order.

BORN ON THIS DAY:

Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena; 24 October 1887 – 15 April 1969) was Queen of Spain as the wife of King Alfonso XIII from their marriage on 31 May 1906 until 14 April 1931, when the Spanish Second Republic was proclaimed.

A Hessian princess by birth, she was a member of the Battenberg family, a morganatic branch of the House of Hesse-Darmstadt.

She was the youngest granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

Unlike other members of the Battenberg family who were accorded the lower rank of Serene Highness, Victoria Eugenie was born with the rank of Highness due to a Royal Warrant issued in 1886 by Queen Victoria.

Plus it actually stays on for like nearly the whole day; me personally I just spray some in the morning and after a couple hours I can still faintly smell it on me!

Maria Margarita Vargas Santaella & Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou

[leonorandsofia]

Marcia Chiara and Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies have stated a couple of times that they personally know Leonor and Sofia. When could that have happened? Like I can't think of a place

Juan Carlos also supported his cousin Carlos (now dead) and Carlo, the current Duke of Castro, wasnt invited to Felipe's wedding which I would guess is a big slight. I think they were lying.

Are these the girls that @charlotte-of-wales posted about? One of which is supposedly dating Christian?

Honestly I cannot tell you anything about this lol. The Bourbon-Two Sicilies is a branch of the Bourbon-Anjou House, which is Felipe, Letizia, Leonor, Sofía, etc. I mean it’s always a possibility that they know each other because nobody knows what the family does privately (or at least from what I know that involves the girls).

I doubt we will ever see them in public together because of how the girls’ seem to be seen as royal influencers rather than actual royalty (similar to how other royals are starting to become if they’re not heirs), and it’ll make the family look tacky in my opinion. But yeah I don’t know! Not trying to say the girls are liars but maybe they mean that they know Leonor & Sofía, but aren’t like… close lol because that very well could be the case!

Day 7: Charlotte of Savoy

Charlotte of Savoy

Born: c. 1441/3 Died: 1 December 1483

Parents: Louis, Duke of Savoy and Anne of Cyprus Queen of France Children: Louis (18 October 1458 – 1460) Joachim (15 July 1459 – 29 November 1459) Louise (born and died in 1460) Anne (3 April 1461 − 14 November 1522) - the wife of Peter II, Duke of Bourbon Joan (23 April 1464 – 4 February 1505) - the wife of Louis XII, King of France Louis (born and died on 4 December 1466) Charles VIII of France (30 June 1470 – 8 April 1498) Francis, Duke of Berry (3 September 1472 – November 1473)

Charlotte of Savoy was one of the 19 children of Louis, Duke of Savoy and Anne of Cyprus.

On 11 March 1443, the one year old Charlotte was betrothed to Frederick of Saxony, son of Frederick II, Elector of Saxony, but the arrangement was annulled for unknown reasons. Almost 8 years later, on 14 February 1451, Charlotte married Louis, Dauphin of France,eldest son of Charles VII of France and Marie of Anjou. Charlotte was 9 years old and Louis was 27. Louis' previous wife died childless in 1445. The marriage took place without the King of France’s consent. Upon the wedding, Charlotte became Dauphine of France.

When Louis received news of his succession to the throne of France, he abandoned Charlotte at the Burgundian court.

On 22 July 1461 Charlotte became the Queen of France. Soon she became ill and was close to death by August 1462. She recovered but despite that her health remained weakened.

Louis XI kept his wife away from court at the Château of Amboise along with her household. Charlotte mostly spent her days with her sisters and courtiers, playing chess, marbles, doing needlework, praying, doing her religious duties and supervising her daughters' education. On very few occasions, she was asked to perform her ceremonial duties as queen such as greeting foreign dignitaries.

Charlotte served as regent of France in September 1465.

Louis died on 30 August 1483 and was succeeded by their son Charles VIII. He did not appoint a regent instead left instructions for a royal council to govern during the minority of Charles. Charlotte, Duke Jean de Bourbon II and their two sons-in-law Louis d'Orleans (married to their daughter Jeanne) and Peter II, Duke of Bourbon (married to their daughter Anne) were made members of the council although in practice their daughter Anne took over as regent.

A few months after her husband’s death, Charlotte died on 1 December 1483 in Amboise. They are buried together in the Basilica of Our Lady, Cléry in Cléry-Saint-André (Loiret) in the arrondissement of Orléans.

Charlotte was interested in literature, her manuscripts were the foundation of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. She was regarded as virtuous.

A huge inheritance of the Aragonese Crown in South Italy

The Aragonese castle of Taranto (Tarde in Tarentino) is located in the region of Apulia (Pugghie in Tarentino and Puglia in Italian), in southern Italy and facing the Ionian Sea, and stands on the site of an early 10th-century Byzantine fortification intended to protect the city from Saracen and Venetian attacks.

After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, the barbarian peoples who occupied present-day Italy reached the edges of the peninsula to make it their own. The Ostrogoths and Byzantines fought over Taranto in the 6th century until the Byzantines prevailed, only to be displaced by the Lombards in the 7th century, before the Saracens established themselves and formed an emirate in the 9th century. Once again in the hands of the Byzantines, the construction of the Rocca began.

The Byzantines were expelled from Taranto in the 11th century by the Normans, who had settled in Sicily, and established a principality that lasted until the 15th century, passing from family to family: first the Hauteville for over a century, then the Staufen and Brienne in short periods of time between the 12th and 13th centuries, before falling into the hands of the Hohenstaufen, the Anjou and the Orsini until its incorporation into the Kingdom of Naples in 1465.

In 1442, the Crown of Aragon invaded the Kingdom of Naples from its Sicilian possessions, after two centuries of pretensions to occupy the south of the Italic Peninsula, but on the death of King Alfons the Magnanimous, they were separated and in 1458 Ferdinand I was proclaimed the new king of Naples, and dissolved the principality on the death of his wife, heiress of Taranto, although the title remained in force to designate the sons of the Neapolitan kings.

In 1486, Ferran II of Aragon, King of Naples until his death in 1516, ordered the castle to be enlarged to be completed in 1492, giving it its present appearance, despite the demolitions carried out in the 19th century.

When the Aragonese possessions in Italy passed into the hands of the Spanish Habsburg monarchs, the castle, also known as Castel Sant'Angelo, was reinforced. After the War of the Spanish Succession, Naples fell into the hands of the Habsburgs, who turned the Aragonese castle into a prison, whose harsh conditions can be seen in the surviving torture room.

Subsequently, Naples merged with the neighbouring island into the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies under the Spanish Bourbons (18th century), and was occupied by Napoleon's troops in the early 19th century, only to rejoin Sicily after the defeat of France and the formation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1860.

[ludcake]

btw just as an update if anyone is curious i am currently on the process of writing the rise and fall of the hightower dynasty and YES they are fully habsburg coded. not in the "i wanna fuck my cousin" way but in the "we're so powerful we have to distribute different centers of power but then we need to marry each other to keep a single political unit but we marry out and then marry in again in a loop" and also the catholicism. and witchcraft,

Second and third inspirations are Houses Bourbon and the Anjou

and yes Westeros is getting the Holy Roman Empire in the 1600s treatment get ready for the bloodiest rumble in history guest starring wild dragons, shadowbinding, independence movements, religious schisms, pirates, colonialism, musketeers, three inquisitions and one (1) guest appearance of the development of wildfire-powered artillery destroying everything

and local fan favourite albrecht von wallenstein pulling a king lear

after that i think i'm gonna mess with a few things. i do know that we're backing up the doomrot of house targaryen but with a few funny twists. heavily thinking up a Stuart thing. primarily in terms of house of orange-analogue, but also some religious drama and steadily losing power and holding on for dear life at what they still have and getting their heads chopped off if they try to pretend to be 2 maegor 2 furious
