Louis did not order TE DEUMs sung for either birth. No compliments nor fireworks for them either. Miss Farr is certainly onto something. Olivier Bernier has also reached the same conclusion in his new book Marie Antoinette's World.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560103856296294132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-68485333700807029542020-07-26T02:15:00.394-04:002020-07-26T02:15:00.394-04:00So goodSo goodAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264397610107856444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-80816926486953069992016-07-15T21:23:48.439-04:002016-07-15T21:23:48.439-04:00fellows please neither you nor Evelyn Farr was her...fellows please neither you nor Evelyn Farr was here at the the of french revolution, This is not true defiitely not true Louis was the father of all of the four children of Marie Antionitte. Let me tell you the truth that she hated Count Fersen, he was an aboslute rascal. They was not any love story. Marie only loved Louie and vice verse. In the coming years we will all know the truth. <br /><br />BTW, Louis Charles never died at the age of 10 this is all rubbish. He had fought in the battle of Waterloo against Nepolean and killed him.

To read someone's statement "i do not think Farr has any training in historiography/and poor scholarship". I have just ordered this bookand did not expect a romanticised notion of this "relationship".<br /><br />I reserve judgement until I read the book; but, in all honesty, I sincerely disbelieve they were anything but friends. Marie Antoinette was disliked, even hated, by cliques within the Versailles aristocratic zoo, watching her every move, listening for every word she uttered. IF Count Fersen had even placed a fingertip on her toe? It would have made the daily rag sooner than spit. <br /><br />To now suggest that, because hubby was not performing, she turned to von Fersen? That he fathered Louis Charles? Marie Thérèse was firstborn. Then Louis Josephe. Louis Charles, then little Sophie. The children have similar features...so...<br /><br />Onyhoo, I will read this book, I will attempt to keep calm at any suggestion of extra-marital hanky-panky on the part of a religious, dedicated wife, mother and Queen, but also on the part of an honourable man who, throughout all the pain and horrors she, and hrr family endured, stood by them all.Fionanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-90747335739694546752016-06-24T07:29:06.793-04:002016-06-24T07:29:06.793-04:00Louis Charles is son Louis 16!

I wish I were kidding when I write that. I have read Evelyn Farr's previous book on Axel von Fersen and Marie Antoinette and it is an exercise in poor scholarship and wishful thinking, and I doubt that this latest book will be any different, especially given statements already made in articles and interviews. Even readers who believed the two were lovers reviewed her first book negatively for its poor quality. I do not think Farr has any training in historiography and it shows in her wild leaps of logic and poor scholarship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-50171662369188007122016-01-17T11:21:02.755-05:002016-01-17T11:21:02.755-05:00Royals were famous for their attitudes of "ru...Royals were famous for their attitudes of "rules for thee, but not for me". Catherine the Great, during the same era had at least 2 bastard children that were claimed legitimate for political reasons. I don't find it at all out of the realm of possibility, esp. since Louis was known to have some sort of sexual problem which prevented consummation of their marriage for quite some time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-90549746937699775222016-01-16T21:57:17.690-05:002016-01-16T21:57:17.690-05:00Although it is true that Count Fersen did spent ti...Although it is true that Count Fersen did spent time away from Court, it is also true that Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette did not consummate their marriage for many years, and Louis XVI spent lots of time hunting and he liked making padlocks and keys.
