Hello dear Pim, I agree with you, a fansite sounds so shallow and petty. It is more like a love-club!! I also agree that fighting with people who for the most...
I have no idea which reply of mine you are responding to, Axel. You have left out huge chunks of the discussion in which I explained my reasons. More money was...
You're kidding. Makes me think of my friend Donna! Now I get it. Thanks so much! Jan -- In Images_of_Marie_Antoinette@yahoogroups.com, "therese862" ... as ...
HI Marie, I tried to access the website that you gave but it would not come up. The usual this page does not exist syndrome...Well, I had read it twice before...
I will try to remember to bring my book with me and cite the references which are pertinent to the subject. If someone else has already responded, well and...
As you may guess, dear Pim, I tend to agree with Giraut de Coursac. I think like many married couples Louis and Antoinette went through phases. It is recorded...
Thanks, Jimmy, for the insight into the drawings. I found a copy of the New York Times at the library and copied the color page of Antoinette to place in my...
The question of whether someone is "worthy" of another person's love has always struck me as fascinating. While yes, Polignac was responsible for manipulating...
PIMPRENELLE: Did you say the Polignacs received money from the duché de Bitche, Axel ? Marie-Antoinette first thought of giving it to Jules de Polignac,...
It's a pity this link does not work. We were debating with a French surfer who is a specialist of Louis XVI. He said that these are all but legends, like...
Leslie, You are such a presence! You need to ask? I am chuckling now. Jan ... miss?? Did anyone miss me??? ... people to read ... later. ... 30+ countries)...

Hi, Leslie ! So happy to read you too ! I believe you "Madame Royale" is a wonderful book. And that you must do a movie as a sequel to your first one too ! For...
Hello Therese, I admit that I am no authority on the Queen's friends here, but am learning while reading all discussions and all books that mention them. I...
Has anyone read this book by Evelyn Farr about the romance of Axel Fersen and Marie Antoinette? This is totally the opposite of Carrolly Erickson's book....
At the Rohan hotel, in Epernay, the queen's torn dress is sewn and fixed. Finding privacy was difficult as she removed her dress and waits in her underwear for...
Maybe. But, this would be for conceiving a child, and the queen escaped those exercices while her duty was done ! Cyberhugs, Pimprenelle ... Coursac. ... ...
Hello Elizabeth, I apologize as I admit I am slow in reading all the material here and responding to it. It is quite challenging to keep up with all of this....
AXEL: Interesting comments and food for thought. Yes, Gabrielle did have children and Lamballe did not so she could share that experience and after her...
I have not read Farr's book but I would tend to agree with Erickson, just from what you have said, Jan. The idea of Louis XVI and Marie- Antoinette not having...
Who thinks Axel von Fersen wa the Antichrist? I certainly do not. He was such a close friend of both the king and the queen. ... <jan_neptune@...> wrote: Re:...
Indeed, Jan, some historians say so. In my view, king and queen were not very close, they slept together for it was their duty. They really got closer once...
Hi dear Jan, are you referring to "The Untold Love Story"? If so then yes I read it many times...what a surprise!! I found it to be a very good book, sort of a...
Hi Leslie, I just found your post now. Yes, it is tragic, isn't it? I always wonder about it. I did post the two quatrains that just simply cannot be...

Jan that is just amazing!! And he pedicted this when?? I can't believe the detail but would the king and queen have understood it at the time?? It was so...
Yes, dear Marie, but we must admit that how much the king and queen enjoyed their intimate relations or not at any given time is in the realm of speculation,...
