Like...shopping in Paris? If you mean conquest, then by all means, take Thomas. Please take him... Please???

Think it was my uncle that said all that, but nonetheless. I'm always interested in iniquity.

Yaaaayy, what fun... Now quickly, go and pack. Make sure you take 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, you'll probably be gone a good while! (🤞😓🤞)

Good rid— er, I mean, good luck! Yeah, I'm not paying for that, I'm afraid. Go ask Gaunt.

Why is he always in Castille when I need him...😑 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘦, speak to my treasurer. But your men better like dry bread! I've got a whole summer wardrobe to pay for.

Oh, I'd love that! I'm sure Annie will be delighted. But when you say 'family'...

As long as You Know Who isn't invited.

Johann is getting bigger, he'll be glad to have some little playmates.

He's clever, too, so curious. And remarkably quick-witted.

Hopefully, Annie's temperament will calm him just a little 😅 He can, Anne speaks to him in her native tongue as well, so he's picking up both.

Tis her birthday on the morrow. But mine has since passed and I am yet to be spoiled, we must shop at once!

#OTD (20th January) 1382 Richard II of England married Anne of Bohemia, a daughter of the now dead Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. Although the marriage was ultimately childless, Richard was extremely fond of his wife and did not handle her death in 1394 at all well, tearing down

Richard II married Anne of Bohemia in Westminster Abbey #onthisday in 1382. Anne was crowned in the Abbey two days later. It's thought that the Liber Regalis (or 'royal book') - an illuminated manuscript with ceremonial instructions for a coronation - was made for the occasion.

Merci, mon ami!

Buildings That I'm Thinking About 2/2: Westminster Hall (London); earliest phase of masonry walls late 11thC, roof late 14thC. Remarkable to think that this building was not listed until 1970. Just think about that for a moment - no legal protection until 1970!

And I'd thump him again too, no ragerts

A most auspicious month, very underrated. February however should be abolished.
