Mosse Labyrinth

Friday, 29 November 2019, 12:52.Reading time 1 minute.

I bought this book in an airport when it first came out because of the subject matter. Can I recommend it? Urm. Eeerrr. Oooh. Well. On the positive side, Ms Mosse has a second home in the Languedoc so she describes the sights, sounds, smells etc very well. Other than that……!? The book was over-hyped. […]

From the recent shared pdf… Then too, the accelerated discussions of the Donation of Constantine (such as the origin of imperial power, the basis of papal authority over temporals, the pope and the transfer of empire, the pope‟s claims to Rome and the patrimony) since the eleventh century kept alive the issue of the […]

A statuette in the Museum of Brittany, Rennes, probably depicting Brigid or Brigantia: c. 2nd century BCE FeckWiki : Brigid It has been suggested that Brigid is a continuation of the Indo-European dawn goddess. She is associated with the spring season, fertility, healing, poetry and smithcraft. I’ve been reading about the Irish Immortals. The Pagan Goddess Brigid. Imbolc?. […]

Deconstructing a BS Historical “MYTH” that’s been around far too long is easier said than done! Here we meet the Mainstream story of Nakşidil Sultan and Selim III and why they are connected to Napoleon. Here, also, is the French and English fighting over who gets the biggest part of Tartaria – after the Romanovs […]

Again with the old 17th century France research. Wiki : Cimetière des Saints-Innocents The history books say that the soil there was so rich (!) it could consume a cadaver in seven days! This links with more of my past searches. Wiki : Cour des miracles Always with the “gypsy” slums. […]

Nakşidil Sultan

Well. This one has blown me away. I understand now why I mentioned Nakşidil Sultan, in passing, the other day. She has a connection to le Brun via Selim III (previous posts) And the common denominator is… Napoleon Bonaparte. It’s all a bit twisty turny right now. But I’ll get there :o)

Château de Chantilly

Tuesday, 8 October 2019, 6:47.Reading time 2 minutes.

Wiki : Château de Chantilly An interesting Wiki piece about Chantilly. I like the built/destroyed/rebuilt bit – The original mansion was destroyed in the French Revolution. It was repaired in a modest way by Louis Henri II, Prince of Condé, but the entire property was confiscated from the Orléans family, between 1853 and 1872, during which interval […]
