Wasn't the King condemned by more than one vote? <br /><br />Also, you mention in "Trianon" that he could legally have abstained from voting. Why was that? <br /><br />Blood-chilling, in any case!Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-22945737698523246422007-09-26T17:19:00.000-04:002007-09-26T17:19:00.000-04:00Philippe got a dose of his own medicine.Philippe got a dose of his own medicine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-18783551774496972272007-09-26T12:23:00.000-04:002007-09-26T12:23:00.000-04:00When one delves into the origins of the French Rev...When one delves into the origins of the French Revolution one discovers it was not staged by peasants but by aristocrats and the 'intelligentsia'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-27729982591954935632007-09-26T09:06:00.000-04:002007-09-26T09:06:00.000-04:00Ha, ha.

The disloyal aristocrats in the March revolution were mainly Masons, and it appears that the Bourbons who assisted the revolutionists were also of the same order. <BR/><BR/>In our case, most of the exiled Masonic aristocrats and their hangers-ons settled in Paris and founded a modernist sect of the Orthodox Church which still limps on to this day. What happened to the disloyal French Masonic aristocrats (save those sent to Madame Guillotine, of course)? Did they do likewise? Or, did they come to their senses?<BR/><BR/>VaraVarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17433700879385973493noreply@blogger.com
