William Iii - Tumblr Posts
William III died in 1702 after his horse tripped over a mole hill. The horse, Sorrell, pictured, had been confiscated from Sir John Fenwick who had been executed in 1697 for plotting to assassinate William. Sometimes it takes a horse to do a hitman's job. Sometimes it takes a little longer because a horse is a horse, of course.
Sir John Fenwick's other accomplice was toasted by Jacobites as recognition of this, toasting toย 'The little Gentleman in Black Velvet,' also known as the mole.
Sir John Fenwick's execution for attempted regicide in 1697 should not be confused with that of John Fenwick, SJ, in 1679 as part of the Popish Plots...also for attempted regicide. Not going into the Popish Plots here because it's late and sleep hygiene is a stern mistress.
bestie do you have a design for william's daddy.... he's kind of a loser i mean what was he doing having kids and catching smallpox at 24. he should have been at the club
i actually kind of do, even though I haven't drawn him much!!
from what I have seen in portraits, his hair is literally unable to stay down. And yes, he really is a loser <3
He kind of haunts the narrative but his son is so insane that it's barely noticeable.
Look everyone, it's the original emo couple:
l have put alt text in p2
pov:you are de witt
๏ผThis is a bit too outrageous. almost too embarrassed to tag it.ฯ(^_^;)๏ผ
random silly william drawing + my headcanon that in the custody battle for william, charles and de witt would act immensely divorced despite barely knowing each other
also!!! please send me whatever art requests u want, i'll get to them all i prommy :3
absolutely banger drawings i made on wechat's magma with @basket-lily (someone come euthanize us)
I give you Charles, James, and William for the ask game :]
Oh goodness @defensivelee and @acrossthewavesoftime did you really have to take my favourite historic men and do this to me?
I'd obviously bed James II because he's a friggin sex king it's scary but I also don't wanna move Anne and Maria around?? To be honest, I don't want to hurt any of the wives, that's the problem! But you know my mixed feelings about him, I adore and despise him. Maybe I could keep him with me for eternity.
I'd then wed Charles II because he's a gem and we could still have fun because we are married.
And finally I'd behead let you two share William III. You both deserve him. Fawn over him and look after him for me.
William, Bentinck, and Keppel for the game teehee
Ohoho intereesting
Bedding Keppel because what else do I choose. If I don't bed Keppel are we even talking about the same person? Helloooo pretty boy ๐คญ
Wedding Bentinck... we all agree he is the best Dutch wife yes. He's a sweet guy and im sure we could find similar interests.
Wow all of us are beheading William today. Damn okay Louis I know you're working some magic here because why is he getting beheaded in every trio I've seen. What are you doing to m
i've been up to some silly things lately so have William in a fencing uniform.
lmao i got some bad news so I will be hitting William over the head with hard objects.
burn it with fire.
i think something is wrong with my version of tfc
Willam&Mary in Orlando (1992)
I found out that they actually had a scene and even couple costumes in this movie then I ran to finish it, it's really cute so I drew a still.
I've put other screenshots I took. btw this movie is great, but I wonโt go into detail here, you can just take a look!
had a dream i went to the netherlands and someone tried to get me in their tiktok and i panicked and i spoke in dutch to pretend i didn't speak english. bc i rlly did not want to deal with it. unfortunately this man, who lived in the netherlands, happened to speak dutch. very sad!
i wasn't actually augusta nor was the tiktoker actually william but i think he would do this. i dont remember what the actual tiktok was but heres how @/asplotch thought it went down
*Do you want a gay son or a thot daughter?
((idk how to say gay or thot yet...))
Charles would find us mildly strange but otherwise I think we'd get along lol. he's just a chill fella.
James would implode two seconds in. maybe. or he'd enjoy it
Rochester would love us,, just saying...
Only here to make William's asthma worse ๐๐
Mary would act mortified but deep down inside she knows she'd own a tumblr blog just as insane as ours
Anne and George would probably have the same reaction as Charles im ngl. We're kind of like Restoration England but a little bit wilder. Just a bit ๐ค(lying)
The Marlboroughs? I feel like John would be horrified and offended and Sarah would call us freaks but we all know she's just as ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐.. you know maybe she won't deny the allegations maybe she will join our nation.
i missed a lot of people.. but im don't want to make such a long list rightnoww
Mutuals I'm just wondering how all our fave histfigs would react to our blogs and what they would think of us all.
Cringe compilation of all the times I've stuck a really really poorly drawn william iii in the background of my art
the hague 1672
whenever something bad happens i make william feel even worse
