doing the researchings for the fanfictions
#it's a right banger actually other than it's all about germans called things like fredigund and gundiperga.#and no i did not make those names up.#early medieval europe had some amazing names and there should be more kids called aelfgifu.#i am trying to see if there's a plot i can steal from real life.#i've not made it to the dowagers yet i'm still on consorts entangled in court politics and possibly having affairs with bishops.#though probably not as it's likely just an accusation that would neatly get rid of both queen and bishop with one lie.#efficient!#but really it's just that one of them will be supporting the other in some scheme that puts them at odds with someone else.#bishops can move as far as they want along a diagonal but a queen can of course move in any direction.#so they are natural allies.#or something.#maybe i should just skip the dowagers but i don't want to miss any radigunds or bobillas. (again i am not making these names up.)#books and reading
