Not really. The consummation of marriage when the bride was under 15/16 years was quite rare and only in situations in which was needed to secure the validity of the marriage, or the groom absolutely wanted heirs or secure possession of his bride’s lands… Often the consummation was delayed also...
Threadmarks: The quiet after the storm - Marguerite
Marguerite, Duchess of Bourbon was feeling rather numb. She had tried to get up from the chair when the incapacity of her mother to keep her mouth shut had transformed the visit from her mother from a joyous moment in which share the happy news of her second pregnancy in the worst ever shouting...
The talks about the match were already in 1807. With Julie as bride the wedding could not be fully celebrated before her 12th birthday in 1808 as she will need to be at least 12 but the agreement and a proxy celebration could happen earlier and would likely influence the situation in Spain. And...
Not for that reason. Doing that would be a prosecution of Clement’s politics who caused the sack and any smart man would know it. But without a Pope basically hostage/prisoner of the Emperor the chances of Henry VIII’s obtaining his annulment are quite good
I know that, but again the main reason for which Napoleon was unable to marry her off was the fact who both the girl and her father refuted to agree to the matches who Napoleon planned. If the proposed bride had been the daughter of Joseph the match with Ferdinand VII would go ahead without...
she will marry but unless she fully repent she could get a rather low match for the eldest daughter of the King of England
She was rather stupid, trust me… The only change in her life was her mother abandoning her more than a a year earlier for her own choice… Henry’s annulment here was a quick...
She is young and stupid and unluckily she had taken the worst of both her parents’ temperaments… Hopefully here she will be able to accept the reality…
Eh, poor Mary is in big troubles and the worst part of it is who here she is unable to lie to herself and blame her new stepmother for her misfortunes as she had been able to see the difference between Renee‘s indulgence and sympathy and her father’s rage. Likely the worst part for Mary is...
I hope you all will like this new update, who had taken a rather unexpected direction and also is the 250th message on the thread. England will not be the focus of the TL but I think who Renée will continue to get her space (likely more than Isabella of Austria, who will have few chapters).
Renée, Queen of England was without doubt happy: only few months of marriage and she was already pregnant, hopefully with a future Prince of Wales, and that had reinforced her marriage as Henry had obviously been overjoyed to hear the news. The only shadow was the fact who, without any input...
I think you will need a longer living Drusus or Agrippa for preventing the problem with Tiberius. Him dying in exile would be of little use (unless that is earlier enough to allo Julia to remarry as she wanted or at least prevent her scandal and exile). If you simply do not want Tiberius as...
You need to keep the FRENCH out of Italy NOT the Habsburg. If Ferdinand II of Naples lived and had children by his half-aunt Joanna, Ferdinand II of Aragon will not try again to take Naples and if Ludovico il Moro and his male line survive and continue to rule Milan, the Emperor will have no...
OTL Pauline and other Bonapartes proposed Filistine as replacement bride for Napoleon, but he was absolutely not interested. I can not see Lucien‘s daughter being involved in Napoleon’s matrimonial politics as they (or at least Filistine) OTL refuted to be married off. That is the reason for...
