I’ve recently been reading about the Plantagenet kings, and man, did the first few really know how to piss off the English barons. I guess there is some truth in the saying that they were French nobles who just happened to rule England.

11th February 1466
Elizabeth of York, the eldest child of King Edward IV and Queen Elizabeth Woodville was born at Westminster Palace, London.
#ElizabethofYork #KingEdwardIV #ElizabethWoodville #HouseofYork #Yorkist #WhiteRose #Plantagenets #History
Young Richard, in bloody maille and cloak, kneels and pleads before Henry II, who cradles his son’s head and holds his hands in homage above him. Around them are patterns of burning countryside and the queen imprisoned, surrounded by vines. Above them is the crown with a serpent in it, and a rampart lion roaring.
“Father, Forgive Me!”
(Richard Duke of Aquitaine, after the loss of his knights and archers, returns to his father on the 23rd of September 1174, finally putting an end to The War Without Love)

Tracking past enthusiasms through my bookshelves. This was never a deliberate collection, so it's a bit haphazard, but so is everything else on the bookshelves.
Do you have any 'sets' like this, that hint at something about you?

Screwball comedy idea:
Richard III’s henchmen and Margaret Beaufort’s henchmen both go to kill the Princes in the Tower on the same night. Hijinks, mistaken identity, and hilarity ensue and in the kerfuffle the boys escape to live in safe obscurity. #plantagenets #englishhistory #tudors
