Some believe the Dauphin survived the Temple prison, that he has progeny down to today and that he is kept in hiding until the right time cause there has already been attempts on his life.
Isn't that basically the plot of The Scarlet Pimpernel? I've never read The Scarlet Pimpernel but I'm about to read the plot to it right now. Did you follow this thread from a couple of weeks ago HK? The most informed poster on this thread got fed up that there was another thread started at the same time to basically attack this thread. He told me in private that he was so fed up he's not only not going to post in the thread but possibly not the forum any more. We carried on in private and still are but he said that he doesn't want to post too much about it in public and risk the young progeny's life. I don't know, think of what you want about it. Myself, I think it is fascinating. Here's the thread. http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com/index.php/topic,3448365.0.html |

"Tenthly, one should pour tea into the cup first. This is one of the most controversial points of all; indeed in every family in Britain there are probably two schools of thought on the subject. The milk-first school can bring forward some fairly strong arguments, but I maintain that my own argument is unanswerable. This is that, by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk, whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round."

Myself, I think it is fascinating. Here's the thread. http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com/index.php/topic,3448365.0.html You know, Mike, I've been a student of French dynastic politics and a supporter of King Louis XX (and his father, King Alfonse I) for over thirty years and I've seldom read such a crock.  Far from hiding any 'young progeny' the Naundorffistes vigourously pressed the claims of their 'House'. It is true that they lost many supporters a few years ago when DNA evidence proved that Karl Wilhelm Naundorff, the German watchmaker who claimed to be the Dauphin (along with about 30 others, now lost in the mists of time) was not the son of Queen Marie Antoinette. Their fall back argument is that the body in Naundorff's grave is not his, despite the fact that the tombstone reads 'Here lies Louis XVII, King of France' and in his death certificate he is named as 'Charles-Louis de Bourbon, Duke of Normandy (Louis XVII), who was known 'under the name of Charles-Guillaume Naundorff, [...] son of His Majesty the late Louis XVI, King of France and of Her Imperial and Royal Highness Marie Antoinette, Archduchess of Austria, Queen of France, who both died in Paris'. (They couldn't even get the name right! It was Louis-Charles, not Charles-Louis.) I would say that someone has WAY too much time on their hands! |

It deals with de Gaulle flirting with the idea of putting the Orleans on the throne and gives some details on the House of Orleans. Gore Vidal, modern day Oscar Wilde that he was, wrote a comic novella in the early 60s or late 50s called something like "The Short Reign of Pepin the 4th," in which a descendent of the Capets is installed as king of France when the 5th Republic falls. So, other minds than ours have at least considered the possibility! Actually, it was John Steinbeck. It was published in 1957 and is hilarious! |

Nope. *sigh* That was a reference to the Scarlet Pimpernel rescuing the Dauphin in the Anthony Andrews adaptation from the '80s. |

Thank you, Sir! I haven't posted much in recent years. Much of the type I thing I post might be considered actionable in Canada! I really should post more while I'm in the States. |

Has anyone seen this documentary? Looks really interesting. No English subtitles, sadly. |
