But honestly it’s extremely funny knowing that Alfonso X died in some lame stupid way followed by an ugly feud with his son, daughter-in-law, son-in-law (who is like king of France) and a toddler grandson

Though knowing that his mother was from Hohenstaufen family what did i expect

It’s family traditions boys

#honestly still better dying of some stupidass disease during a silly little feud than dying of dysentery #yes Frederick II I’m talking about you #I need a tier chart with most unhinged deaths among European nobility #duke’s jokes #alfonso x #federico ii #frederick ii

Oviedo Cathedral, Spain (No. 2)

The cathedral was restored in the 12th century by Archbishop Pelagius of Oviedo, the chronicler. Bishop Fernando Alfonso (1296–1301) undertook another restoration of the chapter-house, and his successor, Fernando Alvarez (1302–1321), began the cloister. At the end of the 13th century Gutierre de Toledo began the new Gothic basilica, the principal chapel bearing his arms, though it was completed by his successor Guillén. Diego Ramirez de Guzmán (1421–41) built the two chapels of the south transept (now replaced by the sacristy), the old entrance to the church, and the gallery of the cloister adjoining the chapter-house. Alonzo de Palenzuela (1470–85) completed the other part of the transept. Juan Arias (1487–97) left his cognizance, the fleur-de-lys and four scallops, on the nave. Juan Daza (1497–1503) erected the grille of the choir; Valerano (1508–12) added the stained-glass windows. Diego de Muros, founder of the great college at Salamanca known as the Oviedo, had the crestings of the porch wrought by Pedro de Bunyeres and Juan de Cerecedo, while Giralte de Bruselas and Juan de Balmaseda completed in the years 1512 to 1517 the carving of the precious altarpiece ordered by Valeriano Órdoñez de Villaquirán. Cristóbal de Rojas (1546–56) affixed his coat-of-arms to the completed tower, with its octagonal pyramid, one of the marvels of Gothic architecture.

[archduchessofnowhere]

Lost in contemplation of the beauty of the scene she had not at first noticed the steam-launch which was approaching, but the next moment she was beaming with pleasure. Francis was standing up in the boat in his fine hussar uniform. She knew him at once from his picture, and found him more attractive than she had expected to do.

She stepped forward to the gangway to meet him, and with the most natural womanly grace, held out her hand, saying: "Bounjour François!" He took both her hands in his, kissed her on the brow, and said timidly: "Bonjour Marie!" The Queen embraced the young bride, and presented the Princesses to her. Maria asked feelingly after the King's health, and expressed her regret that he was unable to be there to receive her. She then questioned her new relations about the coast lying before her, about the town they were approaching, about the ships in ther harbour, and about everything she saw from the vessel.

The bridegroom stood almost silent by his stepmother's side, finding only disconnected words to stammer in response. The agitation in which he found himself, the pleasant surprise of discovering Maria to be handsomer and more fascinating than he had dared to imagine, made him more shy and awkward than ever.

(...) The Queen conducted her to her rooms, and Nina Rizzo changed her travelling costume for a bridal robe, which was thrown over the large crinoline which all ladies were obliged to wear at that time, in accordance with the dictates of fashion. A wreath of orange-blossom and a veil of beautiful lace, which she had brought with her from her home, were fastened to her mass of hair — that characteristic of the Wittelsbach sisters. The bridal veil, falling in wide folds about her, reached almost to the ground. An altar had been erected in a large room of the palace used for festivities. Above the altar and along the walls were hung pictures of the Holy Virgin. A throne had also been constructed, and was covered with velvet and gold embroideries. Beside the throne were arm-chairs for the Princes and Princesses.

The bishops and most of the distinguished company had taken their places. The solemn function was about to begin. But many of those assembled had difficulty in restraining their laughter, and several smiled outright, although they tried all in their power to keep a countenance of decorum. The Crown Prince's second stepbrother, Alphonso, Count of Caserta, though at that time eighteen years of age, was as wild as a schoolboy in the holidays. He had managed to fasten a long train of paper to the uniform of one of the highest of the court functionaries. The courtier was in absolute ignorance of the Prince s schoolboy trick, and the air of importance with which he performed his duties added to the absurdity of the situation. In the end a gentleman succeeded in detaching the train without the victim having noticed it. The bride and bridegroom entered the apartment, and were conducted to their places before the altar. The bishop gave a forcible address in the flowery Italian language, concluding by calling down the blessing of God on the young couple. The Te Deum was sung, and the orchestra played the national anthem. The newly married couple then went to the King's bed-chamber to receive the paternal blessing. Salvos of artillery announced to the people that the marriage ceremony was at an end.

Tschudi, Clara (1905). Maria Sophia, Queen of Naples: A Continuation of “The Empress Elizabeth” (translation by Ethel Harriet Hearn)

ON THIS DAY, IN 1859, DUCHESS MARIE SOPHIE IN BAVARIA ARRIVED TO NAPLES AND MARRIED PRINCE FRANCESCO, DUKE OF CALABRIA IN PERSON. They'd had a proxy ceremony on January 8. Marie was the sixth child and third daughter of Duke Maximilian in Bavaria and his wife Princess Ludovika of Bavaria. Francesco was the only child of King Ferdinando II of the Two Sicilies and his first wife Princess Maria Cristina of Savoy.

Marie had left for Naples on January 13, but news of King Ferdinando's grave illness caused her to delay her journey and stay in Vienna with her sister the Empress Elisabeth of Austria. She was able to set forth again on the 30, accompanied by Elisabeth, and arrived in Trieste the next day, from where she finally sailed February 1 to Bari.

Ten years after getting married Marie and Francesco had their only child, Princess Maria Cristina of the Two Sicilies, who died aged three months old.

Royal Smokers

There is only one reigning Sovereign who does not smoke at all, and that is, King Oscar of Sweden; but the greatest smokers are King Edward, who smokes the very best cigars, and King Leopold of Belgium, who smokes not less than a dozen cigars a day. The Emperor of Austria smokes a pipe morning and evening; but the other Sovereigns are contented with cigarettes, the Tsar consuming about thirty a day. King Alfonso smokes cigarettes in a long amber mouthpiece mounted with gold; King Victor Emmanuel smokes some half-dozen cigarettes a day; and the Kaiser, on the advice of his physicians, has almost given them up altogether. Every now and then he lights a cigarette, but he always throws it away before it is half finished.
