My history crush is John Keats.
His quick backstory is that he went to King’s College in London, where he graduated with a medical degree as to his father’s wishes, even though his passion was always poetry. He worked as a doctor for years, before he eventually contracted Tuberculosis, which is when he began writing and publishing poetry.
He then fell in love with a girl in the class above him, don’t worry she did as well, and they became engaged but only because he was going to die soon. He did write her many, many love letters which are all beautifully written and everyone should get themselves a man like John Keats. He’s just the best.
Also his poetry is fuckin lit, even though most of it is pretty sad and centers around the theme of death.
