Me, at first glance that can't be beloved Tyttes Out Francis Howard! Only to realize, yes, her entire tit is out and adorned with a necklace, as it should be.
he was assassinated! his part in a BIIIG political mess in England meant a LOT of people hated him (a lot to do with the James stuff and more on top of it!)
Yes I looked it up and saw that. Ambitious but stupid people cause a lot of trouble and then someone decides to remove the source of irritation. This whole era is very interesting - those people, the aristocracy that we read about, anyway were crazed by lust for power, it seems.
Great post. Going to use “brain like a bag of feathers” as I have several people it applies to! I still think it is amazing that James managed to avoid being kicked off the throne. He should have taught his son better.

Of the Cecil’s, do we think William is worse than Robert?
Also, love the appearance, if only briefly, of tyttes outte Frances Howard! In her tyttes outte bodice!
Love all of this. What happened to Villiers, I wonder?

Glad to be part of the new subscriber wave!! The history major in me smiles and sheds a happy tear at this newsletter :')
Have you written anything about Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford? (Or, as he spelled it, Earl of Oxenforde?)

To combine humour with history is a real skill
