Historical qt thread

>Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, O.S.H. was a self-taught scholar and poet of the Baroque school, and Hieronymite nun

I wonder if she ever took conquistador dick before she became celibate

>Juana was a devoutly religious child who often hid in the hacienda chapel to read her grandfather's books from the adjoining library, something forbidden to girls. She learned how to read and write Latin at the age of three. By age five, she reportedly could do accounts. At age eight, she composed a poem on the Eucharist.

>By adolescence, Juana had mastered Greek logic, and at age thirteen she was teaching Latin to young children. She also learned the Aztec language of Nahuatl, and wrote some short poems in that language.

>In 1664, aged 12, Juana was sent to live in Mexico City. She asked her mother's permission to disguise herself as a male student so that she could enter the university there. Not being allowed to do this, she continued her studies privately. She was a lady-in-waiting at the colonial viceroy's court, where she came under the tutelage of the Vicereine Leonor Carreto, wife of the Viceroy of New Spain Antonio Sebastián de Toledo. The viceroy (whom Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography names as the Marquis de Mancera), wishing to test the learning and intelligence of this 17-year-old, invited several theologians, jurists, philosophers, and poets to a meeting, during which she had to answer, unprepared, many questions, and explain several difficult points on various scientific and literary subjects. The manner in which she acquitted herself astonished all present, and greatly increased her reputation. Her literary accomplishments garnered her fame throughout New Spain. Her interest in scientific thought and experiment led to professional discussions with Isaac Newton. She was much admired in the viceregal court, and declined several proposals of marriage.

JUANA A PURE, A PURE

She was the rightful Queen as well.

>Her interest in scientific thought and experiment led to professional discussions with Isaac Newton
neat, never knew about her

I wonder how much Theodora charged for a session

>She also enjoyed hunting, to the dismay of Queen Victoria, who asked her to stop, but without success.

>She was deeply distrustful of Germans, and invariably opposed anything that favoured German expansion or interests.

>She despised and distrusted her nephew, Wilhelm II of Germany, calling him in 1900 "inwardly our enemy".

She was also the wife of the most based monarch of the 20th century.

Im more curious about Antonina t bh, she turned Belisarius into a literal retard

Most people in the 19th century bathed at least once a week, and generally washed up once a day.

It's a shame she was wasted on this gormless motherfucker.

Also: any woman painted by Winterhalter, even if she wasn't attractive in real life.

This painting of Olga of Kiev is really qt.

>at least once a week

Isn't she the grandmother of Philip VI of Spain?

So if Germany still had a monarchy would get another Charles the fifth situation?
