long live the queen

1 November 1494: To counter the real threat of Perkin Warbeck, Henry VII decided to invest his youngest son with the title of Duke of York as “part of his strategy of undermining Warbeck: creating a legitimate princely duke of York meant there was less room for a false one.”

“The heavy formality of office, cap, sword, rod and coronet, was followed by a celebratory mass in the adjoining chapel of St Stephen’s, taken by Archbishop Morton surrounded by eight mitred bishops, to the soaring accompaniment of the Chapel Royal choir.” -Thomas Penn, Winter King

The young prince was paraded throughout London riding his war-horse. He was also created a knight that day and after the ceremony was over, his father held him in his arms and placed him on the table, showing him off to his courtiers in a gesture of “paternal pride and affection”.

ugh so we’re getting ANOTHER love triangle with lorcisse?!!

if Reign writers have proven anything is that they know how to write a shitty love triangle that will make all their viewers stop watching. Literally this was a fan favorite couple and the only reason why I barely survived the shitstorm of season 2. They were one of the few positive aspects of season 2 that a lot of people clung on to.

Now they wanna drag Lorcisse into what has not been Reign’s forte? They have completely butchered characters for the sake of love triangles and they are going down this route again but whhhhy?

I don’t mind love triangles to an extent, but Reign writers can’t write love triangles for shit so WHY ARE THEY TRYING AGAIN?!!!! 

I’m perfectly happy for well written shocks and surprises but Reign writers are so goddamn predictable in the most terrible of ways.

oh and save Bash from getting storylines that no one cares aout and bring back Kenna.

Seriously, if anyone needs a really good example of how NOT to do a love triangle and why it’s NOT a good idea to have a majority of the show revolve around love triangles this is the perfect show to point them to.
