Re: Royal Remarriages: Byzantine Edition

aahahaha this is awesome and also omg! :D

Despite all that happened: Basil was ripped, is what I'm saying.

LOLOLOLOL

Because see, if they said Basil and darling Eudokia did not have sex until I died, they slandered the paternity of Basil's oldest sons. If they said Basil and Eudokia did have sex in our years together, they implied Basil was fine with his wife having sex with me, and it's not far from there to the idea of a threesome, even for monks writing history.

WOW

And then there are always those who think Basil was just that sexy.

Heh!

And then, as a final indignity, he didn't have me buried with the other imperial bodies but in a minor monastery. This just changed when Leo became Emperor and had me reburied properly.

Ah! Now I connect that with Leo's ascension that you talked about in the previous writeup :)

but in that case: how come my darling and I did not have a single baby together in the ten years BEFORE Basil the hunk entered my life? She only started to become pregnant, a lot, once Basil was with us in the imperial bedchamber.

...
UM. Wow!

But also, I thought you had suggested that Basil thought he was Michael's kid... although maybe it's just that he wasn't sure!

Aw Eudoxia Ingarina. Yeah, it would be really interesting to find out what all these people thought.
