Yeah :( and plus which there's all that filial piety stuff that we see with e.g. Wilhelmine that has got to be rearing its head here too -- I mean, she owes it to her mom, too, of course, but also to her dad :( It seems awful and like FW not just in the FW-alone sense but also in the mother-father battles and absolute inability to do what both of them would want (although as far as I know Katherine of Aragorn was a rather nicer mother than SD). Poor Fritz and poor Mary!
Margaret Pole, George's daughter! I have heard of her from the notes to The Dragon Waiting! (It's really true, all my history knowledge comes from historical fic and salon.) But since I only knew of the George connection I didn't know about the Mary connection at all. Also, I am Not Pleased about her execution :( (I suppose if I had my way, if people had to be executed it would all be instantaneous. Then again, you go too far in that direction and I suppose you get the Terror.)
Oh, all those AUs for Mary sound lovely and like they have distinct potential to have been rather better than what she actually got <3
As long as said part would not have been the Netherlands
