Okay! Well since I've been doing it for the others, let's explain Ceruledge and why he's in Spain.

Well his design is probably inspired by Morien, the Black Knight of Arthurian legend. Morien got his name because he was Moorish.

The Moors ruled parts of Andalucia (south Spain) for about 800 years. So he's based off the previous gen being England and still has ties to the current gen. Also Spain is know for Toledo Steel, which is one of the strongest steels in the world & was popular with swordsmiths.

Sir Morien was often described as a heroic and noble knight, so why a vengeful ghost? Well in other Arthurian legends the "Black Knight" (Not Sir Morien specifically) is a common supernatural adversary on the various quests of the knights of the round table.

Next up Armarouge!

Well let's start off with the "MegaMan Canon" everyone has pointed out. Spain invented the gun. So...there's that. 😬

On a happier note! The most notable and well-known medieval Spanish knight was Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, more popularly known as El Cid.

El Cid was from the kingdom of Castile, who's colors were crimson and gold. He reclaimed the Taifa of Valencia from Moorish control and ruled the principality till his death. Which makes him a good counter for Ceruledge who's based off a Moorish knight.

To this day he's considered in Spain as an ideal noble knight. Being strong, valiant, loyal, just, and pious.

So why a psychic type? I think Wikipedia actually does an excellent job of explaining it:

You know possibly the funniest/most chaotic thing about the time of El Cid was the Battle of Cabra

Okay so during the time of taifas (Muslim spheres of influence in Spain), the taifas would at some points be paying tribute to the more Catholic north... these were called parias and it's not a constant thing but there were certain treaties in place between cities and city-states between the north of Spain and Al-Andalus which is the south

But make no mistake, El Cid (and many others in this time) were essentially mercenaries and would fight for the Muslims against Christians, or against the Muslims for the Christians depending on the situation even though at this point El Cid was a favorite of Alfonso VI

In fact, El Cid [whose real name was Rodrigo Díaz] got the nickname El Cid from the Muslims where it meant something like "the Lord", and the other term associated with him Campeador from the Christians which meant something like "Battlemaster"

El Cid used to serve Muslim Zaragoza against Aragon, but he also at one point besieges Muslim Valencia and takes it for Christendom

I have to mention this because some people use El Cid as like "the Christian Knight of the Reconquista" like that's a goal to have but he was a mercenary and served with Muslims, under Muslims, and had no problem attacking a Christian or Muslim city if it was his orders/if he was getting paid

So this one time King Alfonso VI of Castile/León/Galicia sends two people out to collect the parias

He sends El Cid to Seville to collect money. And he sends this other dude Count García Ordóñez (who haaaaaates El Cid) off to Granada to get money

While they're out there getting money, it turns out that Seville and Granada are about to fight each other - because the taifas, like the Christian city-states, fight with each other sometimes even though they're both Muslim taifas

So what happens is that El Cid sees it as his right to be protecting the tribute that Granada is probably going to steal if they take the city. And Count García Ordóñez joins with the Granada forces because the whole point of this money is that it's a military contract so he's upholding his end of the military treaty to help them in exchange for money

...In other words, Alfonso VI SOMEHOW sent his own men out to two different places and they end up fighting each other

Seville wins over Granada in the Battle of Cabra, and El Cid captures the Count and ransoms him along with the Christian knights because that's what mercenaries do

And Count García Ordóñez is (perhaps rightfully?) pissed that he got beaten by El Cid but also the situation was messy - and the Count complains to Alfonso VI and that's part of what leads to El Cid being exiled....... The other part being that El Cid ended up in (Mulsim) Toledo which was a vassal state of Alfonso VI which he had no real right to be there doing what he was doing, which is fair because it looks like El Cid was working both sides and possibly acting like a bandit for some of his time because, again, mercenary

But can you imagine sending two of your trusted vassals to two separate places and they end up fighting each other (in your name)? What a shit show

#nobody asked for this but here it is #spanish #surprisingly historical #idk el cid always struck me as hustler opportunist goals not far right nationalist goals #el cid

If you don’t mind, could you give some tv show recs with canon incest?

Sure! I will recommend only what I have watched myself.

Starting with the most popular, House of the dragon. Although I can't say that Daemon and Rhaenyra's couple is my favorite, the show as a whole is good and full of consanguineous couples. (I'm not talking about Game of thrones because I haven't finished it, but I think you know about it).

No less popular, The Borgias (Showtime). It was a starting point for my incest fetish xD I started watching not knowing anything about the Borgia family or that there would be incest in the series, but I shipped Cesare and Lucrezia from the very first episode.

The second season of Elite features a hot pair of half-siblings.

Speaking of less popular shows, we have Another period. This is a pretty peculiar show, but if you like trash comedies, then it will be an ideal option. A canonical twincest couple, they are adorable.

A taste of honey. A very good thing about a couple of uncle and niece. Japanese drama.

Hope it was useful information for you, Anon! :)

UPD. It wasn't mentioned because I forgot about it, but I'm adding it now. El Cid. The chemistry between Alfonso and Urraca is unreal and they are comparable to Cesare/Lucrezia.
