first time I do digital drawing (I basically hate it)
I had already drawn this painting of Eugène, but why not do it again?
by the way I'll put this there 🫳🏻 (no context. it's Philip II August and Richard the Lionheart)

Philip and John had much in common. They were born just a year apart. John's mother had been married to Philip's father. Philip's half-sister, Margaret, married John's brother Henry. Philip's sister Alice was betrothed to Richard and a possible wife for John. In his youth John went to Paris. During Richard's captivity they were allies. As kings they were opponents in a conflict which brought success, conquest and glory to Philip, failure and defeat for John. Summit conferences between them were regular. At one they came "face to face for an hour, no one except themselves being within hearing." At another, "no one spoke except those two", after which John went on to Paris as Philip's guest.

Philippe Deux...mi molle, voire pas du tout (histoire vraie)
Le roi de France, Philippe II Auguste, veuf, décida de se remarier pour raison politico-stratégique avec Ingeburge de Danemark, âgée de 18 ans au visage angélique et sœur du roi Knut VI. La rencontre eut lieu le 14 aout 1193 à Amiens. Philippe fut tellement excité par la beauté d’Ingeburge qu’on organisa le mariage le même jour dans la cathédrale d’Amiens. Mais dès le lendemain, la nouvelle reine est envoyée dans un monastère et le roi réclama l’annulation du mariage. Que s’est-il passé ? On pense que les ambassadeurs danois ont brisé l’alliance en refusant d’attaquer l’Angleterre. Mais selon les chroniqueurs de l’époque, Philippe Auguste clama qu’il a eu «l’aiguillette nouée», c’est une expression médiévale pour dire qu’il n’a pas eu d’érection. Bien sûr, c’est de la faute de cette sorcière viking d’Ingeburge s’il n’arrivait pas à bander. La pauvre ne parlant pas un mot de français, n’a rien compris et n’a pas eu la possibilité de s’exprimer, le roi refusant de la voir. Malgré les différentes tentatives de réconciliations, voire d’annulations de mariage; le pape avait même excommunié le roi de France, Ingeburge vécut emprisonnée dans un couvent pendant 19 ans avant que Philippe II ne décide de lui restituer ses droits d’épouse.
