I've been catching up on premieres tonight! I've missed so many!

So to make up for my absence I bring something pretty!

Quote:

"…the Dauphin cares for and loves her like his sweetheart, and it is easy to see that God has caused them to be born for each other."

- Anne de Montmorency, constable of France, in a letter to Marie de Guise on 30 March 1549

"…happy intimacies of their charmed upbringing at the French court […] Since the first moment of their meeting at St. Germain in October 1548, when the five-year-old Scottish queen had been solemnly presented to the four-year-old dauphin of France, and King Henry II had rejoiced over the immediate love which the children felt for each other, Mary and Francis had never been apart for more than a few months at a time. They had thus been united by over twelve years of continuous friendship and companionship, and all that happy memories…"

- Antonia Fraser, Mary Queen of Scots

Maybe we can use the bolded quote in our historical quotes section of the OP?

This post from Kayeberrie is so beautiful! I love learning more and more about the things Mary and Francis did that showed the profound love they had for one another

Quote:

This twelvepence Scottish groat dates from 1559, during the time of Mary Stuart’s marriage to the Dauphin of France.

Front: The joined monogram of Mary and Francis is topped with a crown and flanked on one side by a dolphin—a nod toward Francis’s then-title—and on the other a thistle. Along the edges are the words "FRAN ET MAR D G R R SCOTOR D D VIEN", meaning Francis and Mary, by the grace of God, king and queen of Scotland.

Reverse: A panel bearing the legend "IAM NON SVNT DVO SED VNA CARO." This phrase, taken from the gospel of Saint Matthew, translates:

They are no longer two, but one flesh.

The italicized & underlined part of the post is my favorite.

Two halves of a whole, they complete each other

Hi Heather!

Thanks for bringing the pretty.

I adore the quotes you highlighted.

The first one should definitely go in the "historical quotes" section of the OP.

And the second one is just....

heather8615 · 09-26-2014, 08:27 PM

Hey Keri!

Another historical pretty

Quote:

"He was delicate in health and timid in department, yet learned, kind, and good; and it is certain that, as he was the first, so also was he in truth the only object of Mary’s affections. He reigned in her heart without a rival…"

"She requested his presence at all her councils on the affairs of her realm, and listened with marked attention to his opinion when he spoke."

"The young spouses were too happy in each other’s society to desire to mix in the public gaieties of the Louvre, except at those seasons which etiquette prescribed; and altogether, they supported their royal dignity, spite of their extreme youth, with the most edifying propriety."

- The Rambler; A Catholic Journal And Review Of Home And Foreign Literature, Politics, Science, Music, And The Fine Arts, Volume Eleventh.

"He reigned in her heart without a rival" I love this so much

Mikaela0 · 09-26-2014, 08:56 PM

So many pretties in this page!

I read this letter Francis wrote when he was six, six, where he wanted to joust with Mary's uncle to impress her. I mean...

Those little kids are adorable, I could really see them as fetus Frary.

(fetus Francis in the show had no curls nor blond hair. why)
