THAT ODD MONARCH #clocked
“[…] he doth enpoverish, destroy, and kill, for none other intent but that he may enjoy and use his foul pleasures, and increase to himself great treasure and riches, enriching strangers, and pylling and robbing his own subjects, and making fair houses but most superfluous. Whose death I beseech God may be like to the death of the most wicked John, sometime King of this realm, or rather to be called a great tyrant than a King, and that his death may not be much unlike to the end of that manqueller Richard, sometime usurper of this Imperial realm. And if thou will deeply look upon his life, thou shalt find it more foul and more stinking than a sow, wallowing and defi ling herself in any filthy place; for how great so ever he is, he is fully given to his foul pleasure of the flesh and other voluptuousness. And look how many matrons be in the court, or given to marriage; these almost all he hath violated, so often neclecting his duty to his wife and offending the Holy sacrament of matrimony; and now he hath taken to his wife of fornication this matron Anne, not only to the highest shame and undoing of himself, but also of all this realm.”
king john mention! angevin win!
"elsewhere john is called a lollard and accused of 'heretycall langage'. he is shown to be against a number of catholic villains, but is eventually assassinated by sedition and dissimulation before being defended by verity." lads is it heretical to fucking hate pope innocent iii on a personal level?
engineering the early modern seminar i'm leading to be about the angevins . i'm not in here with you, you're in here with me
he’s the gift that keeps on giving—
never going to engage directly because it’s more funny to watch that blog flop, but the upswing in stale Angevin confessions is soooo funny. nobody understands them like I understand them…
“you're a disgrace to the concept of family”
“it is our proper nature, planted in us by inheritance from our ancestors, that none of us shall love each-other”
