The more I think, the more I read, the less I know for certain. Husband is on the left. 18th Century French history, particularly the reign of Louis XVI. Happy to mute people who voted for this Banana Republic we have now.
Trump and the republicans will kill us all.

Republicans spent the last 45 years building a massive right wing propaganda system across AM radio, local broadcast, cable news, and now the Internet that fills voters heads with facts-optional pudding 24/7

Democrats can't sway them until they acknowledge and find ways to counter it

I looked it up. Owned by Bavarian Administration of State Palaces but is also the home of head of Wittelsbach family. Well. It's the site of his 'chancery'. Maybe he'll be appointing ambassadors soon. Get this-engraving from 1701. By 1760 it was looking more like it does now.All very interesting!

Charles Emmanuel was the next male heir of the Stuarts (by descent from Charles I'd daughter Henrietta, duchesse d'Orléans). The line then follows a rather circuitous path through Austria-Este and Bavaria: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobit...

Hey, that was really helpful, thanks! And so Franz, the current holder, is gay. Huh. Nice-looking guy, Thomas. And they live in a wing of the Nymphenburg Palace? I could look that up but you will know and I'm lazy: does he own the NP?

Get out. I didn't know that. Thank you! But it's not surprising that I don't because beyond Henry I don't know the line of succession.
