Thank you. She was know as one of the great beauties of her times, so I am happy who her portrait reflected thatLucrezia certainly is a beauty!
Yes, she is definitely well there and has found a great support in her mother-in-law (who definitely like Germaine but would be extremely kind with her in any case as Isabella is far too happy to being back in her native land and specially to be again with her son)Glad germaine is having a good time in naples
YessirYes, she is definitely well there and has found a great support in her mother-in-law (who definitely like Germaine but would be extremely kind with her in any case as Isabella is far too happy to being back in her native land and specially to be again with her son)
Yes, she is in Naples and is settling there quite easily (and her pregnancy is doubtless helping)I see Germaine is in Naples now, well good luck to her there.
EMPRESS ANNA!Anna, Holy Roman Empress was not missing the big celebrations who Maximilian had always organized for her birthday, starting with the one for her 12th birthday, two days before their wedding, as she was finding the partial isolation of her lying-in much more of her liking: baby Ernest, only few days old, was in his nursery, in the adjacent room as she wanted her son near, at least while she was recovering from childbirth and Maximilian was more than willing to satisfy any reasonable request who she made (and she suspected who, also if she had not explicitly requested it, her husband would have find some excuse for keeping their new son near as he looked to be in love with the baby almost as she was). Anna was glad who she and Maximilian had found a way to make their wedding truly work with them as couple as she had feared to lose any understanding with Max in the passage from child bride to true wife, considering the interest demonstrated by the Emperor in consummating their marriage and his obsession with his mortality but now things were much better: Maximilian looked rejuvenated since the announcement of her pregnancy and she had found his obsession for her health mixed to (the absolutely unnecessary) guilt for her status much easier to deal than his former obsession with death. Mary also was enchanted with the new baby and at least for the moment baby Ernest was distracting Mary from her frequent asking of when she would depart for Hungary, for which she had to wait still many years: Mary was not yet fourteen and Louis barely thirteen meaning who they would have to wait at least another year before being legally able to marry, plus at least another couple of years for consenting to Louis to reach full adulthood and take in his hands the reins of the government of his lands as Maximilian had no intention to put Mary under any risks from Louis’ over ambitious regents and luckily Mary’s brother Charles agreed withy him and also Louis was able to understood well enough his situation to not have any hurry to have his bride with him, contenting himself with a frequent exchange of letters with her. She could understand Mary‘s impatience but was worried by the fact who the girl was apparently unable to understand the dangers or at least willing to ignore them and she truly hoped to see her overgrown this naivety soon or at least well before the time of her marriage as the Hungarian court was not an easy place and Bohemia just a little better.
EMPRESS ANNA!
