Historical Notes
- King Antoine and Louis Condé had 11 other brothers and sister. None of whom were named Marcus
- The Italian Wars ended in 1559. Reign has just entered the year, 1559.
- King Antoine does have a wife in 1559, Jeanne III, Queen of Navarre, and should already have one child.
- Historically many people were barred alive by mistake. That's where the phrase Save by the Bell came from. When people were not sure if someone was dead, they tied a bell to their finger. If the bell started ringing then the person would be dug up.
- Seeing an open grave in this time period would not be uncommon. Grave robbers was a popular thing in the 16th century. Thieves would dig up anyone they thought might have been laid to rest with anything of worth. It declined in popularity, but was around up until the early 1900s.
- Winter’s Ease Feast is not a real celebration.
