“Then they ought to employ better drainage.”

[𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒚 @CrownedTwice]

The roads are bogs and it is hard to plow the fields, my lord king.

The wet spring are drowning the crops. We may suffer this winter, even the rich.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

“But a very wet spring. It’s done nothing but rain! Wessex is lush and green. Who cares if a few peasants didn’t make it? More food to go round this winter.”

[𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒚 @CrownedTwice]

She shuddered.

"My lord king, I certainly hope not. It was a long and hard winter, and our people are barely recovered."

Those who survived.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

I was born in the wrong age. The Romans had so much more 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

Storms, famine…can we expect plagues and locusts, too?

[𝑬𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒚 @CrownedTwice]

She fears a famine will devastate the kingdoms this year.

“Alright then, the four *that lived. All the more astonishing.”

“I had more than four children,” he said primly.

There are times when diplomacy falls short.

[locked out ! @petitxdame]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀and sacrificing their bloodlines and people in the name of the supposed greater good —— she admires her beau-père for his diplomacy.

even if that wasn't always the case.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

Yes. The mind boggles.

[ℍ𝕖𝕟𝕣𝕪 𝕍𝕀𝕀 @WinterKyng]

Me?

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

The kingdoms are always fighting. Brothers fighting brothers, fathers fighting sons. Sometimes they take a break from fighting amongst themselves to fight their neighbours.

[locked out ! @petitxdame]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀that is for a fact. her fréres split the whole of Frankia for that matter.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

Sigh.

"Don't hurt yourself trying to figure it out. I've got some old Roman parchments that might enlighten you."

[ℍ𝕖𝕟𝕣𝕪 𝕍𝕀𝕀 @WinterKyng]

Furrowed brow and confused look as he tries to imagine who is doing what.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

There's always war.

But that won't be the cause of it.

[locked out ! @petitxdame]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ah bon (!) she didn't make the effort of squeezing out five boys and a girl for him to come and tell her there will be war.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

Attaboy, Tudor.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

No offence, but I’d rather you weren’t the 6 to my 9.

[ℍ𝕖𝕟𝕣𝕪 𝕍𝕀𝕀 @WinterKyng]

Are you demonstrating?

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

Two are girls and one won’t live. It’ll be fine.

[locked out ! @petitxdame]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀excusez-moi —— don't tell her there will be dispute for the throne.

@chivalrousrxign || I’m playing AC Valhalla again too after watching Vinland Saga, maybe it’s time to resurrect it… 👀

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

|| I’ve got this and a Vikings Valhalla one, and an OC that lived throughout this period. The verse kinda died, sad about it 😔

[𝙷𝙰𝚁𝚁𝚈 @chivalrousrxign]

╱ omg I still have an account in that era 😔 I haven't touched her in ages

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

@WinterKyng || now I know I’ve still got a tab open but is it on my phone or ipad? 🤔

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

|| not me only being reminded that this boy exists by @WinterKyng and suddenly missing him terribly

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

@WinterKyng || the WORST 😭 my ��I’ll save this for later’ habit is out of hand. Did I save it on Chrome? Safari? Twitter? Tumblr? Did I Pin it? Write a note? And is the note on that app or the other one? Did I take a screenshot? Nobody knows

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

This man had four children.

FOUR.

[𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕰𝖈𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖙 @CyngBertie]

Oops...that would be mine.

[Ivar the Boneless ⁽ᴿᴾ⁾ (Parody) @boneless_anger]

I found this... it's not mine and I have questions.

@Warrior_Bishop?
