“Two names that once adorned princesses and queens arouse deep admiration in me for their classic beauty, even if these names are not so often chosen by royalty these days: Henriette and Sibylla.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15

Throwback to the beautiful Dorothy Tutin as English consorts, Queens Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII and mother to Elizabeth I, and Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I and mother to Charles II and James II.
Out of all the Anne Boleyns, Dorothy is one of my favorites because she showed the good and bad aspects of Anne’s character and the way she conducted herself before her trial and afterwards confessed to Cranmer were very powerful and moving scenes. In my opinion, it is one of the best historical dramas about the six wives that gets better with every rewatch.
As Henrietta Maria, Dorothy Tutin also did a great job showing the only complex character in a movie that was meant to show either saintly flawless characters or inept and corrupt ones.
At the beginning we think we are going to introduce the archetypical evil woman of Cromwell’s imagination but instead we are treated to a woman who’s proud of her lineage, but also a deeply devoted, caring wife and mother who believes she’s doing what is in the best interest for her husband and her family.

So apparently in 1643, the queen consort of Charles I, Henrietta Maria allegedly described herself as a
‘She-Majesty-Generalissima’
of a royalist force of 3000 soldiers & 2000 cavalry units and like that has got to be one of my favourite genders. 💖
Slay Queen!!! Literally!!!

In Catholic countries and places like New Orleans, Epiphany on January 6 opens Carnival season which lasts until Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras. In the past the season was referred to as Shrovetide. It was a time of feasting but also a time for reflection and reparation. "If Ever I Cease To Love" was once the theme song of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It is a song which does not make sense, but then neither does love, most of the time.
