If you
could get back in time a day I don’t really know where I would go.
I love so many
centuries but the most important are the end of 16th century in the French
Court and the Civil war in the United States of America.
But if I should choose
one between them, it would definitely be the end of the 16th century.
The end of
the 16th century isn’t really important but I’m really fascinated by King
Francis II of France and Queen Mary of Scotland
who were married to each other.
They didn’t have a long life of reign because
the king died when he was only 16, one year after the marriage and his
coronation.
Mary Stuart of Scotland came in France when she was six, because King
Henry II, Henri in French, and her mother, widow of King Jack V
of Scotland, engaged her to the Dauphin Francis.
She was Queen of Scotland at
only 6 days and Queen of France at 17.
She’s by her marriage with
Francis, which takes place in Notre Dame in Paris the 24th April
1558, the daughter-in-law of Catherine de Medici and Henry II .
I knew something about them and history of
France thanks to the new TV show Reign. It’s one of my best series and I think
that is quite funny that the actress who plays Mary Stuart will be “one of her
descendants” but it’s only a rumor.
I’d like to
meet them and live in the French Court, not as a servant but as a nobleman who
has power on them because without nobles, a king and his kingdom is nothing
because there is no food or no money for example. It’s a big advantage the
money during the Renaissance and the clothes of nobles look so wonderful, I like
it!
But my
biggest drawback is a very bad thing: Black Death known as the plague.
It’s a redundant
thing during the Middle Age because the situation of health was very bad and it’s
really dangerous for people.
The origins were a war in central Asia in 1334 and
it spread in the western world.
Its spread was very fast and it slaughtered
between 1340 and 1440, 7 million of people in France and went up to 10 million
to 17 million and that was an important death rate.
So, because of that,
even if I love Renaissance, I prefer to stay in the 21st century which
is a safer place!
Another
drawback it's the woman's condition which is very bad too because
women, and in particular queens, princesses or noblewomen, seem to be
alive only to make a son and heir to their husbands which have bastardd
with other woman ! That's so unfair !
Please girls, don't look like Katy Medici ! ^^
