Joan II of Burgundy (1291-1330), countess of Burgundy and Artois, was Queen consort of France.

In 1314, during the trial known as the “Trial of the Tower of Nesle,” in which her sister Blanche of Burgundy and her sister-in-law Margaret of Burgundy were found guilty of adultery, she was charged only with complicity. She was imprisoned in the fortress of Dourdan. Continuing to proclaim her innocence, she avoided the charge of adultery, but was nevertheless prosecuted for failing to report her sisters-in-law’s conduct. Acquitted by a ruling of Parliament, she was released between December 24 and 31, 1314, and resumed her place alongside her husband at the French court. Her mother’s influence certainly played a major role in her return to favor, as Mahaut d’Artois did not wish to lose the influence that the accession of her son-in-law, Philip the Long, could bring her.

I first came to know about Björn Andrésen—who sadly passed away a few days ago—through the scandal surrounding the use of his photograph on the cover of Germaine Greer’s book The [Beautiful] Boy. He tried to protest the use of his image without his permission, but the publisher claimed they did not require it, so he was ultimately unable to take legal action. What troubled him most was not the photograph itself, but the content of the book. It is a feminist study of artistic representations of youthful male beauty from antiquity to the present, and some of Greer’s claims were criticised for appearing to condone or romanticise paedophilic desire.

Since young Björn Andrésen is frequently mentioned in the Captive Prince fandom as an almost perfect visual reference for Laurent, reading these lines from the book’s introduction made my heart clench: the beautiful boy is described as “old enough to be capable of sexual response but not yet old enough to shave. This window of opportunity is not only narrow, it is mostly illegal. The male human is beautiful when his cheeks are still smooth, his body hairless, his head full-maned, his eyes clear, his manner shy and his belly flat.” Oh, hello Laurent.

Marie de Médicis (1575-1642) did not always get along with Henry IV. Being very jealous by nature, she could not tolerate his affairs with other women or her husband’s numerous acts of indelicacy toward her. In fact, he forced her to associate with them and often refused to give her the money she needed to cover all the expenses she intended to incur to demonstrate her royal status to everyone. Domestic disputes broke out, followed by periods of relative peace. Marie de’ Medici was determined to be officially crowned Queen of France, but Henry IV, for various reasons—particularly political ones—postponed the ceremony.
