    As someone who studies kingship and the idea of rulers to my fellow scholars who also study this stuff: why this incessant and persistent twee woobification of kings and queens?

        This is an honest question. I think that you can have a favourite ruler inasmuch as the one you find the most interesting. But I do not understand this attitude towards people of immense privilege whose social class was entirely arbitrary.

        And based on perpetuating the false ideology that certain people have the right to rule, and the very real consequence of murder and war to achieve power.

        Why this constant perspective of stanning queens? Eleanor of Aquitane would not be your friend or mine.

        Honestly this seems not much different than modern monarchism and the conservative deference to monarchy.

        And you could say this is a series of subtweets, but it’s from over a long period of observing this behaviour on here.

        oh I read the thread now I get it. yes, they all super suck and it’s ok to say that. some are definitely more interesting than others but that’s because we ourselves are interested in certain aspects of politics/ religion/ etc. in our own work

        I think, to some extent, it is because we (collectively) have information about them and their lives. As a result, books, movies get written! Sure, I can stan another figure, but I just won’t have as many details about them.

        I’m not really wondering why people study them. I wonder why people stan them on social media like they are celebrities. And just because the historical records are skewed...I don’t think that it should follow that we stan them.

        I think as much as medievalists like to critique pop culture/ fantasy representations of the medieval, a lot of us still first came to medieval studies because of our investment in these representations, which can't be separated from their glorification of royalty/aristocracy.

        I was once in a seminar where half the grad students admitted that they became medievalists because of Tolkien. And a lot about the field itself (no doubt b/c of its white supremacist/imperialist history) encourages this & the overidentification btwn scholar and obj of study.
