Did you know that "Ludwig the #German" was kinda weird with his #kids?

The #Carolingian #king Ludwig, ruled East Francia for 36 years.

Within that time, he had 3 sons and 4 daughters.

Unlike other kings before & at the same time, he did not give any high positions to his sons.

He would eventually #marry all the #boys into advantageous alliances but forbade all daughters to do so.

The 3 we know of were all made to become nuns, but seemingly, not abbesses.

It's unclear why.

Did you know that it is legal to #marry the #dead in #France?

In 1959, 5 yrs after its construction, the Malpassant Dam regulating the Reyran river, catastrophically collapsed. A 4m high wave rushed at a speed of 70km/h through the area, destroying 2 villages.

423 people #died.

This led to many women requesting posthumous weddings, primarily to protect unborn children from being seen as illegitimate.

In 2019, a French woman married a lieutenant killed in Mali.

Also, let’s not forget another big issue, that “#women in #Qatar must obtain #permission from their #male guardians to #marry, #study abroad on government scholarships, #work in many government jobs, #travel abroad until certain ages, receive some forms of reproductive health care and to act as a child's guardian, even when they are divorced” (thanks @Wikipedia)
