Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

DID YOU KNOW...
DID YOU KNOW...
One Time, 100 Imposters Claimed to Be Marie Antoinette's Dead Son
After the French Revolution, eight-year-old Louis XVII was imprisoned
and then never seen in public ever again. His parents were executed in
1793 and, afterward, he was horrifically abused, neglected, and left
isolated in a prison cell in the Paris Temple. In 1795, he died of
Tuberculous at 10-years-old. His body was buried in secret in a mass
grave. Years later, dozens of men came forward claiming to be him
because a Bourbon restoration was a possibility and a successful
claimant could then potentially find himself on the throne of France.
Yes, many claimed it, but none were proven. It breaks my heart when people take it out on the children for what the parents did, it's not like a child can help his parentage.
I didn't know this. So sad.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
It is rather heartbreaking:-(
ReplyDeleteDid not know that. That poor child.
ReplyDeleteIt is a heartbreaking story.
DeleteNice bit of trivia!
ReplyDeleteWe have missed a lot from the past.
DeleteThat's so sad. Kind of reminds me of Anastasia.
ReplyDeleteOh yes that is what it reminded me of too.

ReplyDeleteI certainly agree with you there. So many crimes even today taken out on innocent children.
DeleteThat's very sad. I know nothing of French history.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it but believe I learned it somewhere in the back of my mind.
DeleteDid they look for cake crumbs?
ReplyDeleteBill you are a bad boy...funny but bad.
DeleteIt really didn't surprise me either. So very sad.
ReplyDeleteI can believe that...it seems many would do anything to sit on the throne...when all they needed to do was go to the nearest bathroom store!!! ;)
