Something I had done years ago on A4 size paper. I think I skipped a few due to lack of space. Kings and Queens of England (after king Henry IV)

Work focus kept me from posting yesterday, so, catching up: Blades of May #17: a partisan English rapier with a wooden handle carved in a quilt pattern. The portraits on the once-gilded hilt are ostensibly of Charles I & his wife, Henrietta, but in that "every photo of an unidentified skinny guy in the old west is Doc Holliday" sort of way; the portraits might well simply depict the blade's cavalier owners

The new king of England better be on the phone with a peruke maker as we speak because I refuse to acknowledge a King Charles whose curls are anything less than luxurious.

#OTD in 1641 – Sir Phelim O'Neill of Kinard, the leader of the Irish Rebellion, issues his Proclamation of Dungannon justifying the uprising and declaring continued loyalty of Charles I.

Elected a member of the Irish Parliament in 1641, O’Neill appeared to be a supporter of King Charles I. Nevertheless, on 22 Oct 1641, he seized the strategically important Charlemont Castle, Ulster, and then created confusion by claiming that Charles had authorised this act. O’Neill’s followers proceeded to massacre hundreds of England’s colonists in Ulster, but after besieging Drogheda, Co…

Internet: there’s a new biography of Buckingham coming out in October 24

Me: sounds interesting - can’t be worst than The Kings Assassin, blimey that was terrible.

Internet: it’s by Lucy Hughes Hallett - she wrote that book about that fascist dude and on Cleopatra throughout history

Me: sounds interesting, I did like that Cleopatra book

Internet: it’s titled The Scapegoat

Me: so, maybe not a hatchet job? Feeling cautious excitement

Internet: here’s the blurb -

From the winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, a stunning biography of one of the most flamboyant and enigmatic seventeenth-century Englishmen at the heart of political and royal life.

George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628), was loved by three monarchs. King James I of England, whose bed-fellow he was, called him Steenie, after St Stephen whose face 'was as the face of an angel'. James's son, later King Charles I, equally enthralled by Buckingham's glamour, made him his best friend and mentor. Anne of Austria, the Queen of France, confessed that 'if an honest woman might love someone other than her husband' then Buckingham would have been her choice. Many believed that he was her lover. Buckingham was a dazzling figure. On horse-back, or cutting capers, he displayed a figure whose grace not even his worst enemies could refuse to acknowledge. He was also a skilful player of the political game, who rapidly transformed the influence his beauty gave him into immense wealth and power. When he travelled to Paris to fetch home Charles's bride, Queen Henrietta Maria, he wore a pearl-encrusted suit worth enough to pay and equip a sizable army. By the time he was thirty-three he had been first minister to two successive kings.

He lived in dangerous and complicated times, an era where witch hunts coexisted with Descartian rationality. Buckingham stood at its centre both culturally and politically. To the House of Commons Buckingham was 'the chief cause' of all the 'evils and mischiefs with which the country is afflicted'. When he was assassinated in 1628, at the age of thirty-six, King Charles said that he himself, and the monarchy he represented, had been 'wounded through the Duke's sides'.

All of Lucy Hughes-Hallett's books have explored the interface between actual events in the world of politics, war and international relations, and the operations of imagination and desire. Buckingham will, first and foremost, be a compelling story, but it is also story rich in significance, with deep resonance for today.

Me: aww crap 💩
