We are back for another historical hypothetical folks!

And this time it is:

Think of it as a Midsomer Murders/Clue style thing.

I don’t have an answer for who the victim is. You can choose anyone you want, for the victim.

Thinking about Henry V attending his first parliament as Prince of Wales at 13 years old and being bored out of his skull and imagining how much worse it would've been for Richard II, who attended his first parliament as Prince of Wales at 9 years old.

Thinking about Henry VI attending parliament as a literal infant too.

THE WHITE QUEEN 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY WEEK

Day Two - Favourite Villain: Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick

A data miner known as Galaxy (@___Gal4xy___) on X (Twitter) posted pictures, I suppose from the deleted in-game encyclopedia, of a few Far Cry 5 characters that used to look... different.

The first one seems to be the man we now know as Cameron Burke, but if it weren’t for his vest, I honestly wouldn’t have guessed who he was. The Marshal looked pretty much like this in other promotional pictures, though:

The second is Earl Whitehorse, but again, I’m not sure I would have recognized the Sheriff without his uniform. I can’t tell if he has the same face model but I think he looks a bit like Guy Marvel here.

Then, we have Dutch, who seems to have the same face... but clearly a lot more hair (and no tattoos)!

Finally, there is Kim, and the two main differences between this early version and her in-game self are her hairstyle and the tattoo on her left arm.

Also, did you know Pratt used to look like this? And that they then temporarily gave him a mustache?

Barbara Jordan was a civil rights leader and progressive politician from Texas. She was first African-American woman from the south elected to the United States House of Representatives.

Jordan achieved notoriety for delivering a powerful opening statement at the House Judiciary Committee hearings during the impeachment process against Richard Nixon. In 1976, she became the first African-American, and the first woman, to deliver a keynote address at a Democratic National Convention.

Jordan is also known for her work as chair of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform.

In her 1979 autobiography Jordan recalled "having a swell time" meeting Nancy Earl for the first time in the late 1960s.

"I had had a great time and enjoyed myself very much. I remember I thought: This is something I would like to repeat… Nancy Earl is a fun person to be with … I could relax and enjoy myself … I had discovered I could relax at parties like that where I was safe."

Jordan and Earl were together for nearly 30 years. They bought land in Texas together and built a home in 1976. Earl, an educational psychologist, occasionally helped with speechwriting.

Jordan never publicly identifying as lesbian or queer. She was open about her relationship with Earl in private. But because she was the subject of homophobic attacks, and her advisors cautioning her against revealing the extend of her relationship with Earl in public.

Jordan retired in 1979 after three terms in Congress due to health challenges from multiple sclerosis. Nancy Earl became her caretaker as her health declined.

After leaving office, Jordan received the Nelson Mandela Award for Health and Human Rights in 1993, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom, presented by President Bill Clinton in 1994.

An obituary in The Houston Chronicle described Earl as Jordan's "longtime companion" — the first public confirmation of their relationship.

Here’s a more grounded historical hypothetical before we get into the truly ridiculous ones:

As always there will be rounds to this poll so I will try to cover more historical figures from around this era. I just tend to start around the War of the Roses/The Tudors because they’re my favourite time periods.

Richard Earl Thompson - Paris Flower Market (1977)

[wonder-worker]

The division between the two families [the Woodvilles and the Nevilles] and their allies can be seen in the royal charters that they witnessed. Warwick, Rivers and Archbishop Neville of York, while serving as chancellor and afterwards, were fairly constant witnesses to royal charters and consequently often appeared together. This was not, however, the case for other family members and friends. From 1466 to 1469, if Scales or Woodville associates like Sir John Fogge, John Lord Audley or Humphrey Lord Stafford of Southwick witnessed royal charters, then members of the Neville group, such as John Neville, earl of Northumberland, or John Lord Wenlock would not, and vice versa. Discounting the ubiquitous Warwick, Rivers and Archbishop Neville, of the twenty-four charters issued between February 1466 and June 1469, twelve were witnessed by men associated with the Woodvilles, eight by men associated with the Nevilles and two were witnessed by no member of either group beyond the two earls at their heads and the archbishop; only two charters, both from 1466, featured associates of both families.

Such striking segregation of witnesses suggests that something more than simple convenience or availability was at play. [...] The evidence of these witness lists does show the extent of the split between the two groups from early in Edward's [first] reign and of the need for political society to work with that cleavage in the heart of the Yorkist regime."

-Theron Westervelt, "Royal charter witness lists and the politics of the reign of Edward IV"

*This is specifically applicable for Edward IV's first reign; in contrast, the charters in his second reign displayed a great deal of aristocratic and domestic unity and cohesion.
