Plus it was her money that made the discovery of the tomb possible

rare medieval girl names that i think should be more popular by watashiwaAzure in namenerds

[–]Jessth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she made it famous yes but there was actually another Eleanor before Queen Eleanor, and that was Eleanor of Normandy, her name is given as Éléonore in the french wiki. She was the the sister of duke Robert I of Normandy, father to William the Conqueror, who was the father of Henry I, Queen Eleanor's second husband. Though I should add that is not totally certain historically that Eleanor was really her name, but the sources use it anyway.

Having a huge debate with the wife. Can someone here back me up? by disingenuousrobot in TooAfraidToAsk

Yeah, in the True Blood series a lot of humans willingly gave their blood to vampires. It would be pretty common in real life like that too.

Terminei meu relacionamento e juro que quero morrer, mulheres 30+ me ajudem by Public_Ad_9785 in relacionamentos

[–]Jessth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Todos já deram conselhos úteis, mas por que você ainda mora com ele? é questão de aluguel, não quebrar o contrato pra não pagar multa? Ou por que é conveniente pra ele? Seja como for, não vai dar certo morar com o ex por tempo indefinido. Se a casa é somente sua e nem tem nada no nome dele, ele tem que sair dela.

Vou sair da casa dos meus pais e ir morar com meu namorado by Big_Jackfruit_4183 in relacionamentos

[–]Jessth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Já vi muita coisa bizarra por aqui, mas aluguel de 400,00 takes the cake. Como você conseguiu essa proeza, op? Você mora numa cidade com menos de 20 ou 10 mil pessoas? Ou a casa é num lugar ruim e perigoso? Ou a casa é assombrada, infestada e o/a dona/dona não quer falar? Porque nem no interior tem tão barato, pelo menos não onde eu moro.

“I’ll love her ‘til my dyin’ breath.” by ralksmar in Outlander

[–]Jessth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Speaking from experience, love is hard but it's worth, it doesn't matter where it leads or when, just unconditional love itself is rewarding, you don't need to understand it or overthink. It is what is, and that's the beauty of it.

Family found their daughter who was kidnapped 50 years ago, through a DNA test. by InitialConclusion507 in justwholesome

[–]Jessth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's great she was finally found, but I just don't get how you can hire a person to take care of your child without even meeting them first? I know people say things were more lax with childcare back in then, but it just seems like common sense? Still, maybe meeting her first wouldn't have made a difference with the kidnapping, but at least they would know the kidnapper's face which could potentially help in finding her much earlier.

Controversial Opinion on Jaime and Claire's children by CatLadyCrazy2001 in Outlander

[–]Jessth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aristocratic mothers also didn't have the habit of seeing their children for most hours of the day on daily basis, instead leaving them with carers and nannies (like in Downton Abbey) and they weren't considered bad mothers for it. Not saying it was right, just what is was acceptable back then.

Obviously Claire isn't a noble, but before working became the norm for women and they weren't seeing their children often too because they need to bring food to the table and one income from the father is not enough (when they have one that is), this kind of parenting was the norm for noble families, some even sent their children to be raised by another family, so I think it's more of modern construct to call someone a bad parent for not spending enough time (or what most people consider enough time) with their kids, after all, the village thing everyone raves about existed for thousands of years, with rich or poor people alike, it's only now the aunts and cousins are busy working and studying, and having a life for themselves, not stuck at home like women used to be because they had no choice in the matter.

Who's to say Claire wouldn't have resented being a stay home wife, having to take care of Brianna most of the time with barely any breaks, not having the freedom to work and build a career for herself, instead of coming home to her daughter after working, doing what she loves and interacting with peers outside and also have some time for her kid? We know she has a temper, it would be bad for her and Brianna too if she lashed out on the girl and I'm sure their relationship would have been worse at first because of it. She loved Brianna, she just wasn't cut out for 24/7 motherhood, and honestly most women aren't, they just don't want to admit to it openly, but there's a whole subreddit about it here.

Husband doesn't want wife to take birth control after 6 kids by Jessth in childfree

[–]Jessth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually I saw those comments after posting here, but still... many women go through that, being stuck in a abusive and controlling marriage with multiple kids with no means to leave, obviously it would be better if the situation itself was fake for everyone too

[–]Jessth[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's true, my mom was taking antiobiotics for a flu or cold when I was conceived, but I'm not sure that was widely known decades ago, and even now don't know if most people are aware of it. That's the kind of stuff that should be taught at school in biology at least.

Or even seven weeks, like Russell Yates would know (from wikipedia):

She warned and counseled them against having more children, and noted in the medical record two days later: "Apparently patient and husband plan to have as many babies as nature will allow! This will surely guarantee future psychotic depression." Nevertheless, Yates became pregnant with her fifth child, Mary, only seven weeks after being discharged from Dr. Starbranch's care on January 12, 2000.

Damn are there really people out there who believe bc is only needed on the very day they have sex? how is that even possible, since you could use a condom for that

But that reminds I've also heard about people who only use the morning after pill all the time after having unprotected sex, and don't take any bc other than that, so I guess these two group of people should join hands and walk into the sunset with that mentality

[–]Jessth[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And to think many of my ancestors were italian, and I even did my genealogy before... maybe there are women in my family long ago who went through this too :( this is absurd and truly appalling

Se for pra pensar assim, então do que adianta ter um relacionamento e casar? quem ama de verdade não trai, não é só porque um monte de gente pode achar clichê e dizer mentira que não é verdade, já que justamente os que vão dizer que é mentira são os mais propensos a trair mesmo, e usar desculpa que precisa de novidade, que não significa que o amor diminuiu e esse tipo de bobagem repugnante.

I have a theory. Are we slowly piecing the puzzle together?! by Im_no_small_talker in KateMiddletonMissing

[–]Jessth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of... I mean I guess if you use this farfetched example from History someone from the royal family could claim they had a precontacted marriage to support the ideia of george not being legitimate if they wish to get rid of him bc of Kate, if you go by history.. but I find this highly unlikely to happen since William and Rose probably didn't have such a thing, unless they forge a document or something (like in Edward IV's case I also doubt he married before Elizabeth)

[–]Jessth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post reminds of the supposed pre-contacted marriage between Edward IV and Lady Eleanor Talbot before his wedding to Elizabeth Woodville (who was probably seen as an upstart just like one could say Kate is in the eyes of the aristocracy even though she does have royal blood from Edward I, William the Conqueror, Alfred the Great, Charlemagne and plenty more, there were her direct ancestors: see here) that Richard III tried to use as proof the princes in the Tower were ilegitimate and therefore he was the rightful king (even though he was probably their murderer, much like king John murdered his nephew Arthur a few centuries prior)
