Duchess Sophia of Hanover- Electress of Brunswick-Luneberg (October 14, 1630- June 8, 1714)
What a gal…She looks so beautiful and placid in this portrait; nothing like what she’s depicted in the Princesse of Celle…
Duchess Sophia was the youngest of 5 daughters of our Incidental lady, Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia. She was actually born in Exile and when she was older went to live with her brother Chatrles II Louis. From a very young age, she was very bright and determined. The Duchess was very literate and enjoyed the works of Descartes and the likes. Her main concern was becoming Queen of England, and this would have been possible if only (as she'd hoped)her cousin Anne had passed away before her.
Obtaining the crown was a lifelong quest for Duchess Sophia. After agreeing to marrying Ernest August, in a marriage of convenience, she was always devising ways of escalating her name and family’s worth- through titles, money and properties. She never let any of her emotions rule her.
Duchess Sophia was also the mother of George I; whom she considered to be the dullest of her sons and the least worthy of the throne. Of all the emotions she managed to keep in check, her jealousy towards her French sister-in-law, Eleonore d'Esmier d'Olbreuse was the only one she could not contain. She despised this woman for having a loving relationship with her husband and for raising the seemingly perfect princess, Sophia Dorothea.
Despite the jealousy, her love of money and quest for power prevailed. Against the will of both Eleanore and Sophia Dorothea, Duchess Sophia was instrumental in the evolution and planning of the marriage between her son George Lewis and Sophia Dorothea- a marriage of convenience, reconciliation between the fathers, and a chance of uniting royalty.
Duchess Sophia was a rather healthy lady who lived a long life. She met her end one afternoon after her daily walk in her gardens. To seek shelter from a sudden downpour, Sophia ran for cover and suddenly collapsed. She was 83. Her cousin, Anne, died a few months after that...

Great review!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tudor Daughter- glad you enjoyed it:)
ReplyDeleteWow that portrait is nothing like she was described in The Princess of Celle!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! I somehow pictured this too-tall (crouching over) homely creature who never smiled.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the painter was bribed ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have to give a tube radio at least 20 to 30 minutes just
ReplyDeleteto warm up and then you decide what frequency you want to be on and load
the plate and tune them up. Hardware mechanisms used
in the manufacturing of a Wi - Fi internet radio system is less complicated and the point of ergonomics is kept
in mind by the manufactures. What s more is that 2G phones
can come in a tinier and slimmer package, even its batteries.

If you cannot write love poems for your guy,
ReplyDeletedon't be disappointed easily. Choosing to focus on sound as a restriction increases a poet's
powers of observation in melodic structure and the inherit oral aspects of a poem.
Wedding poetry can be used during wedding toasts, and if you
find the right balance, it can make a big difference.

You might need heavier line and tackle to account for powerful river flows.
ReplyDeletePay close attention to the mayflies, midges, and stoneflies
in the area and try to match your flies to the size and type fish are biting on.
Most of the fishable water in the upper river is boulder runs in deep canyons
and it is scenic.

Depending on how you're going to want to do your fishing you'll want to find a boat to rent for Michigan fishing.

One of the benefits of fishing is that it is not physically demanding.
Yet sometimes a net is better to use because it usually
doesn't harm the fish and will most likely be easier for you to prepare the fish for later.
