What it says on the tin. Louis XVI made the "mistake" at the outset of his reign of restoring the French provincial parlements. After the praise which his grandfather had received for finally abolishing them just a few short years earlier, this was very much a regressive move. My question is...

Karl only earmarked it for Felipe when the marriage to Mary came up. If Karl himself marries Mary, their kid will get it

Oui How true the rumor is, IDK, but at/after the Congress of Vienna Léopold reportedly boasted that he had good reason to believe he was "better" than the duke of Wellington, since while Art had only bedded Nappy's mistress and beaten Nappy on the battlefield, he (Léopold) was u equalled as the...
