On November 19th, 1789, Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria died. She was the second born child, and second daughter, of Maria Theresa and Francis I.
Deemed ineligible for marriage because of a physical disability, she had instead become an Abbess, which was a typical path for Royal Women who didn’t marry.
Her health began deteriorating in the winter of 1788, causing a shortness of breath and the inability for her to move without a wheelchair. She died the following year, leaving her entire inheritance to the monastery in Klagenfurt, where she had lived for many years. Her last words were said to have been:
“It is probably a good country, I’ve had it ever loving. There are good people with whom I lived happily and I leave with difficulty.”
Maria Anna was buried at Klagenfurt, one of four of her siblings not to be buried in the Imperial Crypt with their Habsburg ancestors

Downton Abbey is wild because the stakes are always either SUPER low or crazy high. It’s like, one episode is, “Who will win the gardening contest at the fair? Is the countess cheating?” And another episode is, “The eldest daughter’s fiancé died in the Titanic, then she hooked up with a Turkish diplomat, her first ever sexual experience, and he DIED IN HER BED DURING THE CONJUGAL ACT, and now she has to move his corpse back to his bed without being of suspected of murder, BECAUSE IT COULD START A WAR, and also if people find out she’s ‘damaged goods’ and she can’t find an advantageous match, her family will LOSE THEIR ANCESTRAL HOME!” Then the show’s like, “A maid wants to become a secretary! Will she beat the odds?”
I need you guys to understand that all of these are real things that have happened on downton abbey and all of them were in the first season. This show is genuinely the wildest shit

Native American History Month / Figures ➵Weetamoo
“A severe and proud dame she was, bestowing every day in dressing herself neat as much time as any of the gentry of the land: powdering her hair, and painting her face, going with necklaces, with jewels in her ears, and bracelets upon her hands. When she had dressed herself, her work was to make girdles of wampum and beads.”
Weetamoo was the daughter of Corbitant, Sachem of present day North Tiverton, Rhode Island. Since she had no brothers, Weetamoo became Sunksqua (leader) of the Pocassets, a tribe of the Wampanoag confederacy. She was known as a skilled dancer, a fine beader & quillworker, and an effective leader, backed by an army of over 300 warriors. Her name is said to translate to “She speaks to them”. Weetamoo is known to have had 5 husbands and at least two children. In her later years, she joined her brother in law in King Phillip’s war against the English, but drowned trying to cross the Taunton river, having lived her life defending the Wampanoag.

Issues of mercy and justice were necessarily complicated for ruling queens. Leah S. Marcus has observed that Mary’s reputation may have had as much to do with her gender as with her religion or her anti-Protestant campaign, writing that “we may wonder to what extent her sinister epithet ‘Bloody’ may have stuck to her because she was an ‘unruly’ woman on the throne. None of the male rulers of the previous centuries of near constant warfare and slaughter, not even the ‘bloody dog’ Richard III had been given such a persistent sobriquet.” Only by bloodying Mary’s name could Elizabeth’s followers portray England’s second regnant queen as rightful ruler in spite of the fact that she, too, was a female, depicting her as an extraordinary woman completely unlike her older sister. Elizabeth’s rule could therefore be supported using the same arguments used by Mary’s supporters to strengthen her right to queenship because she, not Mary, was the true ruler—or, in Aylmer’s words, she was “lyke a mother, and not lyke a stepdam” to her country.

Fool that you are, you forget that you too are mortal. The elephant dies as surely as the ant, but one exists on a scale beyond the other’s comprehension. The ant can bite and sting for days, yet its greatest victory can only be to be noticed, and in being so, crushed beneath the magnitude of its foe’s attention. Do you dare draw their gaze and risk that fate?
