James VI/I king of Scotland

 James VI/I king of Scotland

(19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI, and King of England and King of Ireland as James I. He was the first monarch to be called the king of Great Britain. He ruled in Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 until his death and he ruled in England and Ireland from 24 March 1603 until his death.
After about the age of fifty, James suffered increasingly from arthritis, gout and kidney stones. He also lost his teeth and drank heavily. The King was often seriously ill during the last year of his life, leaving him an increasingly peripheral figure, rarely able to visit London, while Buckingham consolidated his control of Charles to ensure his own future. One theory is that James may have suffered from porphyria, a disease of which his descendant George III of the United Kingdom exhibited some symptoms. James described his urine to physician Théodore de Mayerne as being the "dark red colour of Alicante wine". The theory is dismissed by some experts, particularly in James's case, because he had kidney stones which can lead to blood in the urine, colouring it red.
In early 1625, James was plagued by severe attacks of arthritis, gout, and fainting fits, and fell seriously ill in March with tertian ague and then suffered a stroke. He died at Theobalds House on 27 March during a violent attack of dysentery, with Buckingham at his bedside.

It has been claimed that King James VI/I, an antecedent of King George III, suffered from acute porphyria, and that the disease was passed on to George III through his grand-daughter Sophie, mother of George I. The life of James is reviewed and previously-proposed diagnoses are considered. James’s medical history is discussed in detail and, where possible, examined with validated symptom scales. Using an online database of neurological diseases, the authors show that James’s symptomatology is compatible with a diagnosis of Attenuated (mild) Lesch-Nyhan disease; no evidence was found to support a diagnosis of acute porphyria. In addition, there is evidence of associated Asperger traits which may explain some of the King’s unusual behavioural and psycho-social features.

Elizabeth I of England

Elizabeth I of England

(7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603)[1] was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death on 24 March 1603. Sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the last of the five monarchs of the House of Tudor.

The Queen's health remained fair until the autumn of 1602, when a series of deaths among her friends plunged her into a severe depression. In February 1603, the death of Catherine Carey, Countess of Nottingham, the niece of her cousin and close friend Lady Knollys, came as a particular blow. In March, Elizabeth fell sick and remained in a "settled and unremovable melancholy", and sat motionless on a cushion for hours on end. When Robert Cecil told her that she must go to bed, she snapped: "Must is not a word to use to princes, little man." She died on 24 March 1603 at Richmond Palace, between two and three in the morning. A few hours later, Cecil and the council set their plans in motion and proclaimed James King of England.

The birth time is between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The assumption of 3:45 is proposed in view:

Mary Tudor

Mary Tudor

(18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558) was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death. She is best known for her aggressive attempt to reverse the English Reformation, which had begun during the reign of her father, Henry VIII. The executions that marked her pursuit of the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and Ireland led to her denunciation as "Bloody Mary" by her Protestant opponents.

introduction

Read now this extract from a medical journal :

[...] Let us summarize the facts available about the illness of Mary Tudor :

(1)    Paternal deprivation in childhood, adolescence and early adult life.
(2)    From the age of 19 (and perhaps earlier) she had periods of amenorrhea.
(3)    She complained of ‘racking headaches’.
(4)    She had attacks of palpitation.
(5)    She suffered from recurrent indigestion.
(6)    Her vision was impaired. This was assumed to be shortsightedness, but at the age of 42 it had become so bad that she could hardly see anything and written material had to be brought very close to her eyes or - more often -simply read to her.
(7)    During her two periods of assumed pregnancy, she had, in addition to amenorrhea, swelling of the abdomen, morning sickness, swelling of her paps and milk secretion. Her headaches, her depression and her vision grew worse.
(8)    She died at the age of 42.

If we put the symptoms and signs of an ovarian tumour, of phantom pregnancy and of prolactinoma side by side, it seems to me that Mary Tudor must have suffered from a prolactinoma. Her death occurred at a progressive stage of that condition, in a person weakened by chronic anaemia due to continuous ‘therapeutic’ bloodletting, and a feverish illness -perhaps influenza. There were also some signs of hypothyroidism: loes of eyebrows, loss of hair, dry skin and stuporous confusion; this is not uncommon if pituitary tumours are very large.

In pseudocyesis we may find amenorrhoea, an increase in weight and girth and even galactorrhoea, but no severe headache and no impairment of vision. Moreover, in most cases the women are contented and happy, and the condition is not fatal.

In polycystic ovary syndrome, one would expect menstrual chaos leading to amenorrhea, some increase in weight and - in a majority of patients -hirsutism and other signs of virilism, plus occasionally galactorrhoea, but no serious headache nor impairment of vision.

Mary Tudor’s history is not merely important from a medical point of view. Had she lived today, a diagnosis could have been made and various methods of treatment would have been available.
[...]

In those days, there were no supporting biochemical assays, CAT scans or X-rays. Now, the only way that proof of the above theory could be obtained would be to have Queen Mary’s coffin opened and her skull X-rayed. The coffin still rests in the Henry VII chapel at Westminster Abbey, just beneath the coffin of Elizabeth I, her half sister. It was last inspected by Dean Stanley, about 100 years ago. I have not had the temerity to submit such a request to Her Majesty, an I must, therefore, leave the matter unresolved.

conclusion :

Mary Tudor's condition deteriorated significantly from 1555 onwards. She presumably died of prolactin adenoma, which progressively led to blindness.

Certeau Michel de

Michel de Certeau

(17 May 1925 – 9 January 1986) was a French Jesuit and scholar whose work combined history, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the social sciences. Certeau was greatly influenced by Sigmund Freud and was, along with Jacques Lacan, one of the founding members of École Freudienne de Paris, an informal group which served as a focal point for French scholars interested in psychoanalysis. He came to public attention after publishing an article dealing with the May 1968 events in France. He also took part in Robert Jaulin's department of ethnology at the University of Paris-VII after May 68.
Certeau went on to teach at several universities in locations as diverse as Geneva, San Diego, and Paris. Through the 1970s and 1980s he produced a string of works that demonstrated his interest in mysticism, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis. From 1978 to 1984, he taught at the University of California at San Diego. He returned to France to take up a new research chair in "Historical Anthropology of Beliefs" at the École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales. He also devotes several seminars, one of which is entitled "Historical anthropology of beliefs, 14th-18th centuries". He has marked the historians of the Bussière group a great deal.
The psychoanalytic influence is strongly reflected in his historiographic work, in which he analyzes the "return of the repressed" through the arbitrary limits of official history, and the survival of the "unspoken" in the margins of writing. It is a reference, often cited in research related to cultural studies4.
Michel de Certeau died two years later, on January 9, 1986, in Paris, following pancreatic cancer.

Henry VIII

Henry VIII

(28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 1509 until his death. Henry was the second Tudor monarch, succeeding his father, Henry VII.
Henry is best known for his six marriages, in particular his efforts to have his first marriage, to Catherine of Aragon, annulled. His disagreement with the Pope on the question of such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority.

Late in life, Henry became obese, with a waist measurement of 54 inches (140 cm), and had to be moved about with the help of mechanical inventions. He was covered with painful, pus-filled boils and possibly suffered from gout. His obesity and other medical problems can be traced to the jousting accident in 1536 in which he suffered a leg wound. The accident re-opened and aggravated a previous injury he had sustained years earlier, to the extent that his doctors found it difficult to treat. The chronic wound festered for the remainder of his life and became ulcerated, thus preventing him from maintaining the level of physical activity he had previously enjoyed. The jousting accident is also believed to have caused Henry's mood swings, which may have had a dramatic effect on his personality and temperament.
