Great Royal Scandals: Lady Frances Howard and the Sulfuric Acid Enema of Doom

Well, there was Richard II, with a red hot fireplace poker in the ass…

Thank you for this link. Fascinating reading. I’m going to spend quite a lot of time exploring the stuff here.

Richard was starved to death, which in itself is a pretty bad way to go.

The poker up the ass of Edward II is probably a myth. Im not sure if I prefer it to be a myth, or not. My humanitarian side hopes its a myth, my ghoulish side hopes not.

Hehe, I learned a new vocabulary word I love. Now to figure how to to slip “Fundament” into conversation.

Well, you could always just snigger childishly at “fundamentalists”. Lord know I do. :smiley:

Returning to this topic, a question: was it usual in Jacobian times to have women’s outfits that were this low-cut?

Basically, it looks like she went more or less topless!
