littlestarprincess replied to your post “[[MOR] overjoyed as i am that garam has FINALLY appeared and that...”

I mean, Arlen as Bam's mother was already pretty much stated?

“Arlene Grace. She’s the one who caused this whole tragedy to begin, and the one who brought you into this world.”

Tho, IMO, Garam, blaming Arlene for Jahad being a Huge Dick is not very fair >_>

I... SOMEHOW MANAGED TO MISS THIS IN MY READTHROUGH OH MY GOSH!!! thank you for correcting me!!

ia re garam blaming arlen being unfair but i can understand the bitterness she must be holding, and for so many years...

annedey a réagi à votre billet: people need to remember that Louise de la Vallière...

This is just from the top of my head because i haven’t read anything academic about her but could it be because she didn’t want her children in the first place + the fact that high born women tended to not care for their children in a day to day manner so she didn’t have any real bound with them?

Louise clearly felt ashamed of her position the whole time, and i agree that it probably reflected later in her brief experience of motherhood. I also think that the fact that Louis took so good care for them, and developped such affection for them, made her feel like a very pale version of parenting in comparison. But i don’t think it has anything to do with the traditional aspect of motherhood among high born women (i personally think that this is a really, really old way of thinking that absolutely needs to be updated, people hid themselves behind infant mortality and the ‘don’t apply the standards of your time to theirs’ philosophy for way too long). To me, the rejection of her children is linked to the rejection of her public role. By being the mistress of Louis, the King, a married man, and by bearing the said married man several children, it was as if she appropriated the position of his wife, the Queen. She did not have the guts to fit in Versailles, certainly not as an official mistress, especially if you add that she had no one to support her nor have her back. She felt overwhelmed, which is understandable, but her rejection affected her son and probably her daughter too, and i think that was up to her to make it work, she just didn’t want to.

rantingdinguslady a réagi à votre billet : What letter are you talking about?

Francis was a normal human who cherished a colleague and that is why he was depressed but Henry VIII was a sociopathic horror who ever bothered himself to write only to socially harass Anne Bolyen. After seeing himself walking almost scott-free after breaking thousands of years of traditions, i can’t see that man writing anything to man who bid his will and helped him in times of crisis( read: his obstinate will to ruin KoA and his daughter’s life).This letter seems like an urban legend like Anne Bolyen’s “sixth finger” or Katherine Howard’s last words declaring herself that she would have gladly dies a culpeper and all that.

I never said that it was real, only rumored. And if you see Henry as a ‘sociopathic horror’, well, i guess he was complicated enough to leave behind several assumptions on his real personality, but that’s not the way i picture him, nor his relationship with Francis. Depends of people i guess?
