And for no reason except that I visited it the other day, here are some pics of the castle of Kaiserswerth in Düsseldorf (on the Rhi
ne in western Germany). You should be able to click on the pics to get a large version, if Blogger feels like it.Edward II connection: his great-uncle Richard of Cornwall, brother of Henry III, spent Christmas 1257 here shortly after being elected king of Germany.
There are two pink palaces in Düsseldorf, believe it or not, in the suburbs of Kalkum and Benrath. (There should be lots more pink palaces in the
world, in my opinion.) Here they are. 
Ben
rath, the Roc
oco one, was built between 1755 and 1770 for Karl-Theodor von Pfalz-Sulzbach, elector of Bavaria, count palatine of the Rhine and duke of Jülich. He was Edward II's twelve greats grandson, via John of Gaunt and his daughter Catherine, queen of
Castile.
Hope the searcher found the person who died 700 years ago! Love the pink palaces!
ReplyDeleteLOL - love the searches, only just stopped laughing!
ReplyDeleteSo, you weren't joking about the pink palaces then ;-) I promise that if I ever have a palace I'll paint it pink - just for you ;-)
Heehee Makes you wonder what people are THINKING when they search.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if John of Gaunt had any idea how many times over his branch would spread out. That is just so cool.
The searches were hilarious....thanks, what a great way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteLoved "King Edwards 2 in his cannons" - wow he tried out being a circus act - he really did have the common touch....and they had cameras way back then??
And "Queen Isabella took over the reigns" - cracked me up. She didn't like how Edward rode a horse or was he driving a cart?
I think the pink palaces are gorgeous. Thanks for posting pics.
My word verification is unizingr - sounds German!
Susan: wasn't that a brilliantly vague search? I love vague searches.
ReplyDeleteLady D: I'll hold you to that. :)
Marie: John really was the grandfather of Europe, wasn't he? So fascinating to see all his descendants.
Kate: it's amazing how many people seem to think they had cameras back then!
Wonder if pink was en vogue at the time - remember that very pink one in Trier?
ReplyDeleteSome of those searches, oh my. Mind, meet gutter?
Oh yes, I loved that Trier building!
ReplyDeleteThe pink palaces are very pretty. Suffolk goes in for a similar shade of pink, but we only have cottages :-)
