🚨 TRUMP JUST WENT OFF ON THE UK "Europe is desperate for Energy, and yet the United Kingdom refuses to open North Sea Oil, one of the greatest fields in the World. Tragic!!!" 🔥 "Aberdeen should be booming. Norway sells its North Sea Oil to the U.K. at double the price. They are making a fortune. U.K., which is better situated on the North Sea for purposes of energy than Norway, should, DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!!" "It is absolutely crazy that they don’t… AND, NO MORE WINDMILLS!" 🤣

The suss exes have just touched down in Melbourne, and the reaction in Australia has been brutal! They flew commercial in first class but there was no welcoming committee and no police escort into the city. It seems the tide has turned against them both in the Land of Oz. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

A famous woman steps out not looking totally emaciated and royalists immediately call her fat. In your haste to shit on Meghan Markle for existing you tell us a lot about your worldview and beliefs. And they are trash.

Part 2. April 13th 1275 The death of Eleanor of England, Countess of Leicester This is a 2-part thread 🧵 In the early years of their marriage, Simon and Eleanor had a good relationship with Eleanor's brother Henry III. Their first child, who was born in November 1238 and was christened Henry in honour of his royal uncle. In February 1239, de Montfort was formally invested as the Earl of Leicester. He also acted as the king's counsellor and was one of the nine godfathers of Henry's eldest son, who would inherit the throne and become King Edward I. Henry III's wife was Eleanor of Provence, the daughter of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence and Beatrice of Savoy. Many of Eleanor's maternal Savoy relatives came to the English court, including uncles Pietro and Bonifacio. Pietro lived in England for a long time, served as a diplomat, and became Earl of Richmond. Bonifacio became Archbishop of Canterbury, a position secured by Henry III. In 1247, Henry's half-brothers from his mother's second marriage, the Lusignans came to England and competed for lands and promotions with the queen's Savoy relatives. Henry's relatives were rewarded with large estates, largely at the expense of the English barons. From 1236 to 1258, the king fluctuated repeatedly between various advisers, including his brother Richard of Cornwall and his Lusignan half-brothers, which annoyed the English barons. In addition, the English barons were getting angry with Henry III's demands for extra funds, methods of government, and widespread famine. The displeasure of the English nobility with the king ultimately resulted in the Second Barons' War. Eleanor's husband, Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, was the leader of the forces against Henry III. de Montfort wanted to reassert the Magna Carta and force the king to surrender more power to the barons' council. At the Battle of Lewes in 1264, Henry III and his son, the future King Edward I, were defeated and captured. Henry Ill was forced to summon a parliament and to promise to rule with the advice of a council of barons. Henry was reduced to a figurehead king, and de Montfort broadened parliamentary representation to include groups beyond the nobility, members from each county of England, and many important towns. Fifteen months later, Edward led the royalists into battle again, defeating and killing de Montfort and his eldest son Edward at the Battle of Evesham on August 4th 1265. de Montfort's remains were brutally mutilated. The remains that could be found were buried under the altar of Evesham Abbey. After her husband's death, Eleanor organised the defence of Dover Castle against royalist troops. However, in October 1265, the castle was taken by her nephew, Edward, Prince of Wales (the future King, Edward I). The Crown confiscated Eleanor's possessions, and she was exiled to France with her 13 year old daughter Eleanor. She sought refuge at a de Montfort stronghold, Montargis Abbey, founded by her husband's sister Amicia de Montfort. With the influence of King Louis IX of France, Henry III paid his sister compensation for her confiscated lands and goods in 1367. Eleanor lived the rest of her life as a nun at Montargis Abbey, where she died on April 13th 1375, at the age of 60 and was buried.

Part 1. April 13th 1275 The death of Eleanor of England, Countess of Leicester This is a 2-part thread 🧵 Eleanor was the third of the three daughters and the youngest of the five children of King John and Isabella of Angouleme. It’s believed Eleanor was born in 1215 in Gloucester. She was given the name Eleanor in honour of her paternal grandmother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. On October 18th 1216, when Eleanor was just a year old, her father King John died. Less than a year later, in July 1217, Eleanor's mother, Isabella of Angouleme, left England and returned to France to assume control of her inheritance, the County of Angouleme, abandoning her children by King John. In 1220, she married Hugh X of Lusignan, Count of La Marche, and they had nine children, Eleanor's half-siblings. King Johns death left his nine year old son, the now King Henry III, to inherit the throne amid the First Barons' War, in which a group of rebellious barons supported by a French army, made war on King John because he refused to accept and abide by the Magna Carta. As a young child, Eleanor was promised in marriage to William Marshal, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, the son of the great William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, who had served Eleanor's grandfather King Henry II, her uncle King Richard I, her father King John and was the Regent of her brother King Henry III. On April 23rd 1224, a nine year old Eleanor married the 34 year old William at the Temple Church in London. Because of Eleanor's young age, she remained at her brother's court until she was 14 years old, when in 1229, she moved into her husband's household. Eleanor accompanied William on his trips through England, France and Ireland. William Marshal, 2nd Earl of Pembroke died on April 6th 1231, and was buried in the Temple Church in London, next to his father, where their effigies can still be seen. Their seven year marriage was childless. After her husband's death, the now 16 year old Eleanor took a vow of chastity in the presence of Edmund Rich, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Because of her age, Eleanor was placed under the guardianship of her brother, Henry III. Seven years later, at her brother's court, Eleanor met Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, a younger son of Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester, a French nobleman and crusader. Simon had allegedly seduced Eleanor, so with the consent of Henry III, Eleanor and Simon were secretly married on January 7th 1238, in the king's private chapel at the Palace of Westminster. Two months later, the marriage became public. Eleanor's other brother, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, claimed that the marriage was invalid because it lacked the approval of the barons. Edmund Rich, Archbishop of Canterbury, condemned the marriage because Eleanor had taken a vow of chastity. The barons protested the marriage of their king's sister to a foreigner of modest rank. Simon was forced to go to Rome for papal approval of the marriage, which was given. Eleanor and Simon went on to have seven children.
