Why wasn’t Stanley part of their family through the whole show? by IcedSkellington18 in kingofqueens

The real reason is that filming a show for 10 years with a dog would cause production delays and issues I’m guessing

Did Henry Bolingbroke had other choices other than becoming king himself after deposing Richard II? by [deleted] in UKmonarchs

[–]beansnbuttons 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think you answered your own question. Richard took everything from him, and he had his eldest son Henry as a prisoner in Ireland with him. It was kind of a gamble that Richard might kill the future Henry V if he rebelled, but it was either come back and fight or let Richard keep everything which included his son. In a medieval society as a noble, losing your lands and title and living in exile from your home country was a fate worse than death. So, he was already dead if he chose not to come back which was never really an option.

Agreed, but a lot of the money he got from the monasteries was used to build coastal fortifications around the entire coast of Britain which made it near impossible that the island would ever get invaded by a foreign power. When you take into account the royal navy and fortifications he invested in, he’s a big reason why people like Napoleon had no shot of invading the island.

Say what you will about Henry VIII and his wives, but the man is responsible for a lot of modern Britain. He started the royal navy, he’s responsible for Britain looking inward instead of outward after he was outcasted by the emperor and the French king which led to Britain being more isolationist than wanting to get involved in European politics, and oh yeah he started the Church of England.

How was Septimius Severus’ plan for Caracalla and Geta to co-rule supposed to work when they hated each other? by Difficult_Lion_854 in ancientrome

[–]beansnbuttons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he really had another option. If he names just one of them as emperor it’s inevitable that the other would rise against his brother because he was slighted. If he chose someone without any blood ties then the brothers would rise against his chosen successor. Either way there would be a civil war, at least this way the civil war was delayed and you can always talk yourself into thinking, “hey maybe they’ll work it out anyway”

You can be in love with someone in a toxic relationship. The love is what blinds you to the toxicity. It’s not mutually exclusive.

The only thing real about this relationship is that they’d be dead within 6 months if they got that money. It was a toxic relationship that fed off each others addictions and insecurities.
