tonight’s research thought

Dear Your Royal Highness Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Dowager Princess of Wales,

Lady, if your coat of arms looks like this, perhaps it’s time to put down the quarterings and celebrate your ancestry some other way.

Though admittedly you’re not half so bad as the Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenvilles.

Love,

    Well, it would make an awesome quilt.

    I’m concerned that I actually find the 2nd one aesthetically pleasing.

    *eyes her own sense of aesthetics dubiously*
