It is interesting to see people speculating on the number of children Barbarian King Eren and Empress Mikasa would have. Because yes, the story has breeding kink undertones from the fanfic point of view. And we did have real life cases of royal couples who had astonishing amounts of children. Reining Empress Maria Theresia of Austria had no less than sixteen children with her husband Franz I Stephen. King Edward I of England and Eleonor of Castile had at least fourteen. However, if you look at Roman Imperial family trees, you’ll find most of them didn’t even actually have biological offspring.

I never found a satisfactory explanation for this. We have full records of kings in Antiquity with many sons, and later Byzantine Emperors – who are, in fact, Roman Emperors two, but categorized differently – didn’t follow this childless pattern. This lack of biological progeny wasn’t actually a problem in the Roman world because, even though it was named Empire, they didn’t follow family and succession traditions like modern European countries. The system we think about, in which the eldest son of the king succeeds him and is in turn succeeded by his eldest son (or daughter, nowadays) originated from the Franks in the Early Middle Ages and was slowly adapted by Europe as a whole. Many countries never had such a succession system: Byzantium, China, Persia, the Caliphates, Japan, the Mongols, and so forth, never used it. Great Britain, use this system with a very particular way of counting children, remounting to the 18th Century succession dispute. Russia’s successor was chosen by the previous monarch, which led to innumerous coups and civil wars in the 17th and 18th Centuries until the Pauline Laws which established the Frankish system in 1797.

Ancient Rome slowly walked towards something akin to the Frankish succession as the Emperor accumulated more and more institutional power during the Dominate, which is exactly the period we are talking about. This coincided, funnily enough, with the decadence and dissolution of the Empire, even if the Frankish succession, however problematic in theory, proved to be the most stable model. Roman family structures involved both the biological family, the clan you belonged to, and the adoption of children. And adoption was usually what Emperors did when they wanted a worthy successor, even if they had biological children of their own. So you’d have a 50 something Emperor adopting a 40 something general or politician. In sum, family composition and succession laws worked very differently in the Roman world. What we call the imperial dynasties are usually connected by blood but not necessarily emperor to emperor, but normally through the marriage of sons and daughters from one another, even if they didn’t ascend the throne, their sons could. The very same Theodosian Dynasty ruling in the East and West at this time in History, although much more similar to the succession laws we know today, actually co-reigned with the Valentinian Dynasty in the West. Both families kept the throne between themselves through many marriages. It is not something we, used to European succession traditions, would be very familiar with.

So how many children would Empress Mikasa and Barbarian Eren have? No idea. Historically, very, very few, if any at all hahaha! Attila did have three sons that we know of, and probably had more unrecorded children, specially daughters. Is it possible to have them have 16 children? Yes, why not? Mikasa’s position as reigning Empress is entirely new as well, it could be the start of a new reality for the imperial family. Ancient Rome had many famous and influential woman, but only one ever came to directly rule the Empire as regent, Galla Placidia, mother of Honoria and Valentinian III. Later Byzantium would have influential consorts like Aelia Pulcheria and Theodora, but the Roman world would only know a reigning Empress in 797 with the usurper Irene of Athens. Later they would have legitimate Empresses, like Theodora I the Blessed and Theodora II Porphyrogenita, Eudokia Makrembolitissa and Zoe. Since Rome never had a proper reigning Empress, we could imagine how it would be like. If we go by later Byzantine tradition, however, Mikasa would be the key to legitimacy to become Emperor, and whoever she married would be automatically Emperor – but she, herself, wouldn’t have a claim to rule on  her own, and most likely would only act as a regent while she’s not married. Here, however, I think it is safe to say Eren and Mikasa co-rule. But for her time, Mikasa’s (and Eren’s) position is something unheard of in the History!

my beautiful history anon came backkk😭😭😭

honestly i think the romans with the adoption and selection had it best, if them in their own position of power was good and acclaimed it makes sense for them and the people around to choose and the adopt or have them marry their daughters. to mold the next emperor that at least had the same values. when it’s about family to family it gets risky even more when it’s a birth right for the kid. i’d say they are not entirely sure they want their child but nonetheless teach them the ways of ruling and if he grows up to be a good one then no problem if not there’s the siblings or other people.

i think the fact the people wanted mikasa in this au to be the empress it’s the point of conversion. things are not the same anymore. i think we could say that’s where we deviate a bit. and thinks could change. how many kids? i don’t know honestly. we’ll see as we go, but i want miksa to tear herself open too many times. birth is dangerous and painful after all.

i love you tho history anon. your manuscripts of knowledge you send us are a breath of fresh air 😮‍💨

The family of Blanche of Castile

Blanche was born on March 4, 1188 in Palencia, Castile, an area that is now part of central and northern Spain. Her father was King Alfonso VIII of Castile. He is most remembered for his part in the Reconquista and the downfall of the Almohad Caliphate. Alfonso was the founder of the first Spanish university, a studium generale at Palencia, which, however, did not survive him. His court also served as an important instrument for Spanish cultural achievement. Troubadours and sages were regularly present in Alfonso VIII’s court due to the patronage of his wife.

Her mother was an illustrious princess, Eleanor of England, the daughter of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. In her mother Blanche had an excellent example of a highly educated woman, able to wield the kind of control often denied to women at the time. The Queen had been gifted control of her dower, specific towns, ports and villages whose rents went towards the upkeep of her court. King Alfonso trusted his wife's judgement and named her in his will as Regent should his eventual heir, Prince Henry, be too young to rule in his own right. It was she who persuaded him to marry their daughter Berenguela to Alfonso IX of León. Queen Eleanor also supported several monastic houses in Castile and maintained a shrine to St Thomas Becket, providing Blanche with an example of the religious influence a Queen could wield. She also created and supported the Abbey of Santa María la Real at Las Huelgas, which served as a refuge and tomb for her family for generations, and its affiliated hospital. When Alfonso died, Eleanor was reportedly so devastated with grief that she was unable to preside over the burial. Eleanor then took sick and died only twenty-eight days after her husband.

Blanche was the sixth of eleven children. Her sister Berenguela was Queen regnant of Castile and Queen consort of León; Urraca was Queen consort of Portugal; Eleanor was Queen consort of Aragon, and Constance was a nun at the Cistercian monastery of Santa María la Real. Her only surviving brother Henry, succeeded his father in 1214 aged ten under the regency firstly of his mother and later his oldest sister. He was killed when he was struck by a tile falling from a roof. (x)(x)

An Eleonor of Castile type character in WOT5K? Grrm said he did Cateyln after her but I saw a historial parallel and it didn’t add up. I wonder if you could do or briefly create a Eleonor of Castile type figure for agot or ACOK because I love her :)) she’s so interesting x

I don’t think GRRM does exact character parallels in that way, I think he tends to mix and match traits and famous (or infamous) moments from historical figures. Granted some of the historical sources he might draw from are probably... questionable, there’s a lot of debate as to what extent The Accursed Kings influenced his writing, especially Fire and Blood. Honestly I think ASOIAF would be a lot less interesting if every major character had a clear-cut historical parallel. I also don’t think I am well-versed enough on Eleanor of Castile to create a convincing parallel to her in the context of an ASOIAF fic, but since a lot of ASOIAF fic writers tend to be huge history buffs who make me look totally clueless in comparison haha, I’m sure someone out there has written something along those lines.

“Buenos días querida señora! I remembered to bring the book you were looking for, which is handy given you’ve scheduled me for today.” Alistair knew by now how the manners of the world had changed since he was first taught how to behave, but Eleonor seemed to enjoy his old fashioned manners. They hadn’t made much headway with his injury in the few months that he had been seeing her, but little matter. He liked the learned doctor and she had seemed a tad down lately. Pensive. So he had dug up a tome about the Spain of her youth to go with another that she had requested from the shop, wrapped them up carefully in butcher paper, and now sat them on her desk. It was easier to walk these days, some of her treatments had eased the pain, but he still leaned on his cane a tad as he walked forward. Thankfully the chair in front of her desk was a comfortable leather affair and he sank into it gladly after a quick handshake. This meeting, like the meetings he had with Mira Lowell, were intended to probe at how he was doing. Coping, really. Which wasn’t anywhere near as interesting as getting to know the women themselves. After what he had been through, he felt well enough in spite of the nagging fear that one day Morrigan might find her way here. Find her way to his family, which he had so recently won back. “The top is a little something extra. Castile before the Reconquista. I don’t not pretend to know your affairs, my dear Eleonor, but you seemed in need of a boost last I saw you. The tests you ran are of course the real reason that I am here, but ah! I thought I might as well.”

Peñafiel Castle is a medieval fortress located on a rocky spur dominating the municipality of Peñafiel, in the Spanish province of Valladolid. Identified from the Xe century, the fort has undergone various phases of evolution, until it acquired its current look in the 15th century. Today restored, it is considered one of the most beautiful examples of castile architecture in Castile; its silhouette, dimensions and place in the history of the Castilian Kingdom have earned it some fame.

-- History --

The first known reference to a fortress at Peñafiel dates back to 943, during the reign of Ramire II, king of León. It is then mentioned as one of the possessions of Ansur Fernández, Count of Monzón, then Count of Castile from 944 to 945.

In 983, the castle is taken away by Almanzor, hadjib of Cordouan caliph Hisham II. It was recaptured in 1008 by Sanche García, who had the Muslim fortress demolished, to build a new, fortified ensemble in a better and secure place, at the location of the current castle. It was probably the monarch who gave the name of the fortress Peña Falcón until then, saying a famous phrase: "desde hoy en adelante ésta será la peña más fiel de Castilla."

Around 1110, the square is headed by the governor (mayor) )lvar Fáñez, lieutenant of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. He repels a Muslim attack, then takes part in the two seats led against the fortress occupied by Alphonse I of Aragon, the Battalor, husband of Urraca of Castile, to whom he is opposed by differences.

In the 13th century, Ferdinand III, King of Castile and León, installed the señorío de Peñafiel to bequeath it to his son, Alphonse X. The latter passes it on to his brother, the child Manuel, who in turn, in fact, inherits his son, don Juan Manuel, unmissable writer of medieval Castilian literature, and the most powerful noble in the kingdom. Reprimanded by Sanche IV in 1294 for the poor condition of the fortress, he had it rebuilt in the early fourteenth century.

Under the reign of Peter I the Cruel, the lordship is abolished and his assets are incorporated into the crown's heritage. One of his successors, John I, bequeaths the fortress to Fernando de Antequera, his filthy son, future King of Aragon. This one, married to Eleonore Urraca of Castile, passes the castle to his second son, the future John II of Aragon, who holds the title of Duke of Peñafiel. As a child, he leads from Peñafiel a revolt against his cousin, John II of Castile, who regained the fortress in 1451 and ordered its destruction.

In 1456, Henri IV of Castile conceded the rights of the destroyed fortress to Pedro Tellez Girón, master of the Order of Calatrava, who then had the fortress built that we can see today. The Girón family will remain owners of the castle until the nineteenth century, and will boast of the title of Marquis de Peñafiel (the Marquisate was created by Philippe II in the 16th century) and Dukes of Osuna. The castle would later serve as a palace, then a prison, before being declared a national monument in 1917. Today property of the town hall of Peñafiel, it is open to visit and houses a wine museum.

-- Description --

- Situation.

The castle of Peñafiel stands on a long, narrow rocky hill whose shapes it marries. This particularity gives it such a distinctive silhouette, similar to that of a boat: it is therefore often referred to as el barco de Castile. His location not only determined his appearance, but also his military functions. Sitting above the city it protects, the fortress was reputed to be impregnable. Its position, about sixty kilometers from Valladolid, made it a strategic stronghold in the Middle Ages for border control, especially in the 9th and Xe centuries, when the line of demarcation between Christian kingdoms and Dom Muslim caves were partially established along the Duero. The fortress indeed dominates the valleys of Duratón, Botijas and Duero, and allowed roads to be controlled.

- Architecture.

The castle is built in limestone from Campaspero, city in the present province of Valladolid, bordering Segovia, where a long exploited quarry is located, and is still in service to this day. Despite some deterioration due to time, the building has arrived to us in an excellent condition of preservation and is among the best preserved fortresses in the country.

The dimensions of this are quite large. The defensive set is indeed about 210 meters long, and a maximum width of 35 meters. According to the configuration of the hill on which it rests, the castle does not adopt a square plan, but more or less the one of a brass, whose ends are sharp.

The fortress consists of two enclosures:

A sturdy and smooth outer enclosure, which is pierced only by a door defended by two towers, the only ones of which are inherited by the outer wall.

A second, indoor enclosure, is scanned by thirty engaged round towers, spaced from 10 to 15 meters each, and joined together by crimped curtains on the traditional round path.

The castle is dominated by the imposing mass of the dungeon (torre del homenaje), a rectangle of 14.5 meters by 20, rising 34 meters in height. Located in the center of the construction, it has at its top eight cylindrical towers in encircling, jaw-dropping and slots. The entrance was probably made by a levis bridge, which is missing today. The interior is organized in two floors vaulted as a cradle, connected to each other by a spiral staircase. This staircase reveals a roof terrace that gives a view of the area's wineries.

Two courts go around the tower: the north courtyard housed the tanks and shops, and the south courtyard housed the stables and garnishes. The provincial wine museum is located in the latter. The tank as well as some underground pieces (including a gallery system leading to an external outlet) remain near the tower.

Ogival German style, the fortress joins the circle of the so-called Valladolid School, whose model dates back to the middle of the 15th century with the new royal buildings in Segovia, Medina del Campo and Portillo. Adopted by many large families of Castilian nobility, but above all by small lords, the model spreads throughout the kingdom with a certain vitality. The characteristics of these fortresses reside essentially in the plan (square), the proportions, and the importance of the dungeon. In Peñafiel, the plan and proportions are distorted by the nature of the site. Nevertheless, the time of construction, the general aesthetic of the fort square, as well as the dimensions of the dungeon allow to establish the link between the site and the Valladolid school.
