Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 48

[cahn]

Some awesome historical RPF candyheartsex stories for meeeeee (or by me, in one tiny case) with historical characters! I'm just going to note whom the stories are about here. They are all so good!!

Anne Boleyn/Catherine of Aragorn
Frances Howard and Frances Coke (or: James I's court was basically a HOTBED of scandal, omg)

And two that are also historical RPF but also consistent with the Jude Morgan novel The King's Touch, which is an excellent historical novel narrated by James ("Jemmy") Scott, Duke of Monmouth, Charles II's illegitimate son.

Princess Henrietta of England (Charles II's sister and wife of Philippe I duc d'Orleans)
James of Monmouth/William/Mary

The Dutch sodomy trials had swiftly made their way into the British press. Such reports not only expressed their abhorrence of this 'abominable Vice' and described in detail how the 'detested Criminals' were executed by being partially strangled, 'burnt with Straw', and drowned."

selenak: Imagine Peter asking after the Come d'Alberville, being disappointed there, going into a Dutch inn only to find out everyone is talking about how more sodomites should be executed in public, as gruesomely as possible. And then he finds out FW is after him. No wonder he threw himself at the mercy of Chesterfield's people and got the hell out of there.
