Well, here it is, May 15 - the anniversary of the marriage of James Hepburn, earl of Bothwell & our own Mary, Queen of Scots. I was looking at a picture of Jemmy the other day & wondered at his charisma - he doesn't seem that good-looking by today's standards, yet the guy had women all over him! From the fateful Anna Rustung to Jean Gordon to Mary Stuart and many other ladies in between. I thought perhaps his charm was of the rough, adventurer-type - like Indiana Jones, perhaps? Thoughts, comments? |

He certainly doesn't have the calculating good looks of Robert Dudley or the Golden Charm of the younger Henry VIII or even the swaggering good looks of Thomas Seymour. But if MQOS was Ass over Teakettle for Darnley Lord Lack Beard, she didn't really have great taste to begin with. Since she was first married to the weak dauphin maybe she was attracted to round baby faces with no chins. LOL Tudorgalusa |

Oh, and P.S. Bothwell is no match or comparison for the heroic, give me a bib I'm drooling, painfully good looking Harrison Ford. With his crooked smile and dark brown eyes, and physique he definately is one of MY favorites. I may be married (separated) and 42 but I can still appreciate a gorgeous man! Yeeeeeeehaaaaaawwwww!!!!!

I was thinking this morning that perhaps in this day & age, we confuse sex appeal with good looks. They aren't always in the same package!!!  Although, ITA about Harrison Ford!  I'm just trying to understand how guys like Darnley, for instance, were considered good looking - when we don't see it today. For that matter, I never saw a good portrait of Robert Dudley! And if you look at the later Stuarts, Charles II was quite ugly, yet quite the ladies' man! |

Those droppy beards would be a turn off in our times, Thomas Semour's comes to mind. |
