Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. Don’t worry! If you haven’t found a card yet that expresses how you really feel about your partner, maybe one of these Plantagenet valentines will help:
Illustration of the wedding of Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou in 1445
Kevin Spacey as Richard III and Annabel Scholey as Lady Anne, The Old Vic, 2011
Portrait of Richard II, 1390s
Kenneth Branagh as Henry V and Emma Thompson as Katherine of Valois, Henry V, 1989 film
Joe Armstrong as Harry “Hotspur” Percy and Michelle Dockery as Lady Percy, The Hollow Crown, 2012 BBC series
Happy Valentine’s Day everybody!
*Cue howling laughter from a fellow history aficionada!
Thank you so much! I laughed at your latest post about contact lenses – you'd think I'd be used to them after wearing them for twelve years but I still stab myself in the eye once a week.
This is the best Valentine's ever, I swear.
Wow, I guess I'd better get around to watching the rest of The Hollow Crown if it has Alan-a-Dale and Lady Mary being sexy in it.
THEY LITERALLY DO IT AGAINST A WALL. THAT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION.
