But he did have two sisters, which makes this post a lot weirder

Yeah I was gonna say that. He was famously single his entire life and is speculated to be one of the first historical examples of an asexual and aromantic person.

I can't be the only one that read "aromatic person" instead of "aromantic person".

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 month ago

He was born in the 17th century, everyone had quite the aroma back then
