Thinking of Marie de Guise (Parody~Faux)

She's adorable.

Here he is; mother's 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘧𝘶𝘭 lapdog, come to bite my ankles.

"Sire," he bowed low. His eyes focused on his ankles quite deliberately. "I am ever faithful to you and your house." What is John mucking up now?

Stares in: M A G N A C A R T A

Coughs in Old King Coughs.

There wouldn't have been a problem if he had listened to wise counsel.

William's eyes narrowed to mere slits as he is forced to stare just above the floor. He idly imagined John tripping and falling down the stairs. "I have not seen La Reine in many a moon, Your Grace," he replied formally. "Good hunting, Sire. That is what I seek."

He craves nothing but John's departure to whatever hole he crawled out from.

Too much to hope pirates would attack his vessel.

Lord Richard is naturally salty. Twould have no effect on him, he fears. Where's a German Emperor when you need one to hold him hostage.

"My apron strings, my lord king?" he asked with a quizzical arch of his brow as he rose to his full and formidable height with no effort. A smile creased his face. "Of course, as you wish, sire. I will abandon my duties of stopping the outlaws attacking the Lady Day tax wagons."

The greatest knight who ever lived. William Marshal was an English knight, a man of honor and integrity. A man who served five kings, fought in the crusades, became a Templar and was an undefeated tournament champion. This is the story of the greatest knight, a thread. 🧵

In 1189 during a skirmish, William unhorsed Richard. Killing Richard's horse in the process. William is said to be the only person who has ever unhorsed Richard. William was welcomed into the court of him after Henry's death. Now Richard I, famously Richard the Lionheart.

I like knights. Kids should be exposed to more knights.

I agree. Knight posting will continue.
