You can Say that again.Well damn, it looks like at the very least there won't be a lack of trying for a legitimate heir...
And Bessie is throwing tantrums already

Is that truly what y'all think of me?She’s gonna have to deal. Well, unless our author is cruel and kills Kitty in childbirth early that is
Well, as the narration said, no one cares what Harry thinks.Happy New Year! And what a way to start the year, with a Royal wedding.
I'm glad Isabella is on board with John's choice, even if Bessie hasn't come around yet. Hopefully, she'll come to terms with the whole thing soon, or she and Lincoln together could be trouble, I fear.
I’m saying it’s an option hahah. There would be some form of thematic here. Sweet John loses his mother, Catherine, in childbirth giving birth to him, while another Catherine dies giving birth to his heir?Is that truly what y'all think of me?
How little you trust me.I’m saying it’s an option hahah. There would be some form of thematic here. Sweet John loses his mother, Catherine, in childbirth giving birth to him, while another Catherine dies giving birth to his heir?
Isabella is not exactly on board. She doesn't love it, and she would have certainly preferred something else, but she thinks John needs her to accept it for some peace in the family. Whatever she could hope to say, others have already said, and he didn't change his mind so why fight her son for something that seems so small, in the grand scheme of things?Happy New Years! Great to see that Isabella’s on board, but it’s unfortunate about Bessie. At least she’ll be off to Burgundy in a few years.

Yeah, I mean, it shows: look, I know I'm half-spanish and one quarter welsh or whatever, but I am still English at heart and my wife is a full-blooded English woman. Xenophobia is also important.Plus, while it has its disadvantages, it also has its advantages too. John marrying an English noblewoman does help to bind the realm together and leave his subjects happy he’s not forgetting their needs etc. Symbolism always being important in this era.
I like to think Isabella saw Bessie's disapproval and decided her disapproval was causing enough problems so decided to not make things worse for John since his sister will already be giving him hell. At least Katherine isn't the worst bride out there, like if he was going to marry an Englishwoman she's definitely up there for good candidates, she probably wouldn't have kept her composure so well if Katherine was like Elizabeth Woodville in terms of backgroundIsabella is not exactly on board.

Elizabeth Woodville’s background was NOT worse of that of Katherine Howard, who is only a niece of Norfolk. Still not having any Warwick around and marrying a nice of one of the only two men who could try to play that role is much helpful (the other would be Buckingham as I do not remember what happened to him here)I like to think Isabella saw Bessie's disapproval and decided her disapproval was causing enough problems so decided to not make things worse for John since his sister will already be giving him hell.
