It turns out I do have a small breather where all my available brainpower isn't going to work or church deadlines (or kidstuff) to do salon, yay! (In a couple of days, will have to go back underground for a week or so, but I'm hoping to get at least somewhat caught up before then :) )
On Tales from Hollywood: I will definitely check it out if I am ever able (Amazon Prime, just to taunt me, has it in its lineup but then tells me it's not available... maybe it's available to non-USians?), those excerpts were so great.
When she killed herself, Thomas and Katia were unmistakably relieved
*sigh*
but Thomas' son Klaus wrote Heinrich a truly touching condolence letter which I've held in my hands when I researched Heinrich at USC which has part of his papers.
That is a lovely condolence letter <3 :(
On Margaret of Austria: She is awesome!
Margaret: composes her epitath just in case: "Here lies Margaret, the willing bride, Twice married - but a virgin when she died."
Heh, you go Margaret!
Margaret: *is so successful as governor of the Netherlands that Charles, once he's grown up, reappoints her indefinitely until her death*
Margaret: *also starts to become first her father's and then her nephew's chief representative in tricky negotiations; she ends up being called the greatest diplomat of her era*
