Birth of Mary of Burgundy

The moment of quiet celebration as the newborn Mary of Burgundy is presented to her parents, Charles the Bold and Isabella of Bourbon, securing the ducal lineage and ensuring the future of the Burgund

Setting

A grand chamber in the Ducal Palace of Brussels, adorned with luxurious Burgundian tapestries depicting scenes of courtly life and hunting. The room features high vaulted ceilings with intricate Gothic tracery, and large leaded glass windows allow pale winter light to filter in. A canopied birthing bed dominates the space, surrounded by midwives and courtiers.

TNGF
SELECTED
Isabella of Bourbon
primary
A noblewoman in her mid-twenties, with delicate features, fair skin, and dark auburn hair now damp with sweat and loosely braided. Her blue eyes are tired but radiant with joy. Her slender frame appears exhausted from the ordeal of childbirth, yet there's a quiet strength in her posture.
Charles the Bold
primary
A powerfully built man in his early 30s with a stern yet relieved expression, Charles stands tall with military posture. He has sharp, angular features, a prominent nose, and piercing dark eyes that survey the room with authority. His dark brown hair is cut short in the Burgundian style, slightly curled at the ends, and his face is clean-shaven, showing the aristocratic grooming standards of the court.
Senior Midwife
secondary
A sturdy woman in her early fifties with strong, capable hands and deep-set eyes that have witnessed countless births. Her face bears the lines of experience and long nights spent in service to noble families. Her dark brown hair is pulled back tightly under a crisp white linen cap.
Court Physician
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean, scholarly build, clean-shaven face, and sharp, observant eyes. His dark hair is streaked with grey, pulled back neatly at the nape of his neck. His hands are long-fingered and careful, accustomed to delicate medical procedures.
Junior Midwife
background
A young woman in her early twenties with a slender but sturdy build, indicative of her labor-intensive profession. Her face is smooth and youthful, framed by wispy brown hair tucked neatly under a linen cap. Her hands are clean and capable, showing the dexterity required for her work.

Dialog

Isabella of Bourbon Deo gratias... She breathes so gently, like the whisper of angels in the cloister.
Charles the Bold Our house stands unbroken—this fair child shall carry all Burgundy's banners forward.
Senior Midwife The womb-fruit is strong, my lady. See how she grips my finger—good humors flow through her.
Isabella of Bourbon Does she resemble more your noble father's line, mon seigneur, or my Bourbon kin?
Charles the Bold She has your mother's Portuguese brow—God be praised for this alliance of strong bloods.
Senior Midwife The swaddling must be tight as castle walls—loose cloths invite ill humors!
Isabella of Bourbon Let her first name be Marie—for the Virgin's mercy this day.
