malvoliowithin:skeleton-richard:bbcumbercutey:“Anne of Bohemia died [on 7th of  June 1394] at her favourite palace of Shene; the king was with her when she expired.In the frenzy of his grief, Richard II imprecated the bitterest curses on the place of her death, and, unable to bear the sight of the place where he had  passed his only happy hours with this beloved and virtuous queen, he ordered the palace of Shene to be levelled with the ground.The deep tone of Richard’s grief is apparent even in the summons sent by him to the English peers, requiring their attendance to do honour to the magnificent obsequies he had prepared for his lost consort. His letters on this occasion are in existence, and are addressed to each of his barons in this style: “Very dear and faithful cousin, — Inasmuch as our beloved companion, the queen, (whom God has hence commanded) will be buried at Westminster, on Monday the third of August next, we earnestly entreat that you (setting aside all excuses) will repair to our city of London the Wednesday previous to the same day, bringing with you our very dear kinswoman, your consort, at the same time.  We desire that you will, the preceding day, accompany the corpse of our dear consort from our manor of Shene to Westminster; and for this we trust we may rely on you, as you desire our honour and that of our kingdom.  Given under our privy seal at Westminster, the 10th day of June 1394.” We gather from this document, that Anne’s body was brought from Shene in grand procession, the Wednesday before the 3rd of August, attended by all the nobility of England, male and female; likewise by the citizens and authorities of London, all clothed in black, with black hoods, and on the 3rd of August the queen was interred.“Source: Lives of the Queens of England from the Norman Conquest@malvoliowithin here was some stuff from the Richard II episode. Jones sees his overreaction to Anne’s death as another sign of his tyranny.Well that’s just depressing, I’ve seen this gifset before but I didn’t know it was from that…Because of how violently he reacted, ordering a building torn down and punching someone for being late to her funeral. Plus getting THAT worked up isn’t very manly is it :/ -- source link
