so not louis pissing away all of france's money on a great vanity project. not the wars he fought. not the revocation of the edict of nantes. just this one execution. it's utterly perverse to give this example when there are so many bigger and better ones.
The frondeurs weren’t political enemies.
He wasnt a political enemy. In the book I have there is a brief story about him, which includes several encounters with him before the king was told about him. He wasnt in any way a political enemy. It is an example of murder.
The point of the story. Well, everyone is au fait with the general story of Louis. This one is a lesser known example which clearly shows a side to his character. The man who he had executed was a harmless and very helpful person. This shows unequivocally the woeful abuse of power of Louis. This wasnt an enemy or a rival or even a bad person. In the whole book this was one of the things that sickened me. There was no excuse for it.
you haven't read this passage with particular attention, where it clearly says yer auld frondeur helped one group of lost courtiers. one group on one occasion. not several encounters.
The president of Ireland is paid €250,000 not €400,000. The president of iceland €207000. So 1) it's worse than Republic say and 2) they've always been useless wankers. It's a great shame that they are what passes for a republican movement in this country
How much do we pay the duke of Westminster?
