I think some of us history buffs hijacked the celebrity's who toke thread and I was talking with H2O AND Trichy who are history buffs as I am and I wanted to see if any others are history buffs...
But H20 those marraiges are arranged for political alliances and most of them are cousins and related as all royalty marries back and forth and are cousins.
That is why I get annoyed at ppl who knock rural southerners. Inbred was invented over there and not here. Most ppl who don't read don't realize reality. But I thought it odd that I who was born on a cotton farm in NE Texas was a distant relative to the Plantagenets. But when I read that Obama is related to the Queen of England....Robert E Lee....Thomas Jefferson....LBJ......Woodrow Wilson.....Harry Truman.....Robert Duvall......Bush.....Cheney...Brad Pitt EVEN!
I then realized us early pioneer descendants are cousins lots of us.
My whole family tree is at World Tree and quite impressive. And I guess a lot of us are tied to the royals at least as their bastards because those kings did fuck around......those religious hypocrits,\
Henry being the worst. King Louis was a male slut.....
But Anne's dad put her in the French court to learn the French ways and catch a noble husband....
And Anne learned well and took that talent back to England and put that spell on Henry....she was raised to be a harlot by her daddy.....as well her sister Mary who was also Henry's HO! That is how Thomas their father got ahead kissing the Kings ass and offering up his daughters.
How it was done in those days to get ahead.
Anne....Mary.....Katherine of Arragon......Marie Antoinette.....Mad Juana...
All of Henrys 6 wives......Mary Queen of Scots/......Mary and Margaret Tudor.......SO MANY WOMEN political VICTIMS it is mind boggling.
And the Stuarts......King James married Henry's sister Margaret and Katherine of Arragon declared war on Scotland while Henry was fighting the french
[as usual] and Katherine was regent and King James was killed at Flodden Field on Katherines orders. Brothers in laws did not mean much in those days though. War is hell and still is these days.
But I know Katherines mom was Queen Isabella of Castile and Leon and her father was King Ferdinand of Arragon and thieir grandson Charles V the Roman Emporer was the nephew of Katherine and was even supposed to marry Mary his cousin at one point but she ended up with her other cousin Prince Phillip of Spain and took England back Catholic the Elizabeth took it back Protestant.
Damn no wonder us Americans are so screwed up coming from that heritage.
History never seems to teach as we are still screwing up here.
But we owe the Spanish Inquisition to Queen Isabella but history says she was the most important sovereign in world history/
Those religious back and forth over all those years is why I am now a Secular Humanist like Henry the 8ths mentor Erasmus was as he observered all the debauchery in the Catholic leaders then and still goes on I guess today///
H20.....get sober and teach me something.....LOL
