MARGARET OF BURGUNDY

MARGARET OF BURGUNDY, QUEEN OF FRANCE

c.1290-1315

Les Rois Maudits (The Accursed Kings)

            Margaret of Burgundy was the Queen of France and Navarre, and was the first wife of King Louis X and I. She was a princess of the House of Burgundy, the oldest daughter of Robert II Duke of Burgundy an Anges of France (who was the youngest daughter of Louis IX of France). In 1305, Margaret married her cousin Louis I and had their daughter Joan.

            In 1314, the Tour de Nesle affair was revealed, it was a well-known scandal for the French royal family. The daughters-in-law of King Philip IV, Margaret, Blanche, and Joan were all accused of adultery. The three women were said to have conducted their affairs with Norman knights in a tower in Paris.

            It was Isabella of France (wife of King Edward II of England) who became a witness against those involved in the affair. Isabella had given her sisters-in-law a purse, the Norman knights were found in possession of them after the three ladies had given it to them as a gift The affair was exposed and the knights were tortured and then executed.

            Margaret, Blanche, and Joan were found guilty and imprisoned. Margaret spent the last two years of her life in prison. The women were imprisoned in poor conditions and mistreated, which resulted Margaret catching a virus and passing away. She died aged 24 or 25. Joan’s paternity became in doubt after the affair.  

            Margaret of Burgundy is one of the characters in Les Rois Maudits (The Accursed Kings) by Maurice Druon and was portrayed in the miniseries 1972 and 2005.

It took me over a year but I finally managed to find the first volume of The Accursed Kings AND it did not cost a fortune! The Del Duca edition, because my relationship with this series started long before I was born, when 11yo mum received the sixth volume from her French teacher. This obviously meant I had to find the rest of the series and complete the collection, and while volumes 2-5 were surprisingly easy to find, volume 1 was either ridiculously expensive or simply wasn't at all. What can I say, thank you old French bookshop I randomly stumbled upon on ebay, may you thrive.

You wouldn't happen to know of anywhere to get the accursed king audiobooks without paying amazon? thank you for your time and the beautiful art. 14-16th century fashion is my absolute favourite and seeing you do it such justice rlly just.. :chefskiss:

Hello ! Unfortunately no, I've only ever had the books as the same old copies I stole from my mum when I was a teen (and admittedly I haven't read them in a very long time). I do use Audible for my other audiobooks, so apart from looking into your local libraries, I'm afraid I can't help much.

If anyone has a rec, feel free to comment here !

It’s really not that funny but I’m still very amused by that one article from the daily telegraph that was like “Medieval body identified as Edward II’s gay lover” like damn, did Adam Orleton came back from the death to write that? 

#not really related but wikipedia claims that adam orleton was in les rois maudits and i'm just like...where? #hugh le despenser himself was there for like 4 minutes so i find it hard to believe #maybe there's some bishop in the background of isabella and roger mortimer that's supposed to be orleton but idk

GERARD DEPARDIEU

1948

French actor

            Gérard Depardieu is a French actor who has worked on stage and screen.

            Depardieu was born in Chateauroux, Indre, France in poverty and left home aged 13 to work at numerous jobs and did petty crime. He moved to Paris and started acting on stage and then started acting on screen in 1975. Depardieu has appeared in: Green Card (1990), My father the Hero (1991), 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992 as Christopher Columbus), Hamlet (1996), the Man in the Iron Mask (1998), Asteri & Obeli Take on Caesar (1999), Vatel (2000), Les Miserables (2000), Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002), Nathalie (2003), les Rois Maudits (2005, Jacques de Molay), La vie en rose (2007), Raspoutine (2011, Grigori Rasputin), Life of Pi (2012), & Mata Hari (2017).

            Depardieu has been married once and has four children, in 2008, his son died from pneumonia aged 37. Depardieu converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity in 2020.

            In 1998, he had a motorcycle accident due to drink driving. In 2000, he had heart bypass surgery after two weeks of suffering chest pains. Depardieu weighs around 150 kgs (300 lb.) in 2008. He has suffered at least seven motorcycle/scooter accidents during the 2000s, some of them attributed to alcohol. He said he drinks roughly around 12-14 bottles of alcohol a day, starting at 10am, champagne, wine, vodka, and whisky. In 2011, he was removed from a flight to Dublin after he urinated in front of passengers after being refused permission to use the toilet, when they plane was about to take-off. When he was told to sit down, he urinated into a bottle which had overflowed - his friend said it was due to him having prostate problems.

            Depardieu has been accused of sexual assault and rape, in a 1978 interview he said - "too many (rapes) to count... There was nothing wrong with it. The girls wanted to be raped. I mean, there's no such thing as rape. It's only a matter of a girl putting herself in a situation where she wants to be." His publicity team had later stated that he had only witnessed rape.

            Depardieu was granted Russian citizenship in 2013 which Vladimir Putin granted himself, in 2012 he stated he was handing back his French passport. In 2015 his films were banned from TV and cinemas in Ukraine due to his remarks questioning Ukraine’s right to exist. In 2022, he condemned Russian invasion of Ukraine and accused Putin of ‘crazy, unacceptable excesses’. In 2022, he stated he had become a citizen of United Arab Emirates.

            In his spare time Depardieu invests in vineyards and owns numerous wine estates and also owns a restaurant. He owns the Tigne Castle in Anjou, and collects art and motorcycles.

This was supposed to be posted for @silmarillionepistolary but life got in the way.

Note: French, some sort of prose.

Pairing: Maedhros x Fingon

Son père ayant péri, Maitimo écrit une lettre finale à Findekáno avant de partir rencontrer Melkor.

Pardonne moi mon amour,

Pardonne moi Finno de devoir t'écrire lorsque le monde n’est qu’obscurité, lorsque nos épées suintant encore du sang de nos péchés ne sont à peine rangées. 

Pardonne moi Finno pour n'avoir pas su être grand et dans notre folie envolée dans ce vent si rugissant, ne me viens maintenant que le goût amer des regrets. 

Pardonne moi Finno pour ne pas lutter, ne pas pleurer, ne pas crier. L'éloquence des mots qui furent un jour mon arme s'est évaporée comme une simple flamme sur laquelle on souffle avant de se coucher. 

Pardonne moi mon amour car si il y a dorénavant des cendres sous mes ongles, dans mes yeux; celles dans mon cœur tapissent déjà une triste destinée presque achevée. 

Pardonne moi mon amour, car je dois m'en aller au plus loin dans cette obscurité, et je la redoute, je la maudit, elle qui m'aura bientôt trahie. Il est l’heure à présent où lorsque je me lèverai, roi de quelques heures, couronné de larmes et de colère, je marcherai alors, la tête levée. 

Pardonne moi Finno même si dans mon cœur résonne encore la poésie de ton corps et moi ivre de tes baisers, lorsque nous étions inconscients et si beaux, mon amour, dans notre gaieté. 

Pardonne moi mon amour, car à quoi peut bien rimer mon existence si séparé de toi, je ne peux que prier que tu aies renoncé. 

Russo.
