I saw them before in a French magazine.

Yes, like me... "Point de Vue", I suppose?...

47
hmmmmmmmm my first post......and immediately WRONG!!!!!  :D

well, this is def. her..... with her husband and daughter


A colour pic of Princess Eugenie wearing the sapphire festoon necklace and brooch to be auctioned in Awitzerland next month on behalf of her younger son.

Does someone have some larger picture of this series of photographs? They are amazing. I love so much George and Marie on these pictures! I had an old magazine where these pics were very large and I've lost it...! I was really upset!

Never seen this...thank you!Could you tell me if this is Duke Christian with his wife Lovisa?If so,one of the children must be Prince Christian,husband of Princess Helena?

Even in exile their castle/palace of Primkenau looked quite lavish if we take a note that they were the exiled family of a relatively small Dukedom...

Look, this picture was made partly after Kmerov's beautiful painting.



You can see Christian-August II and his wife Louise-Sophie Danneskjold-Samsoe, with the children (left to right) Christian, Friedrich, Henriette, Caroline and Louise...

So Christian on the painting is the youg boy, in the left.

Thanks. They looked lovely in beach wear. He was very handsome. There is another photo of him in swim trunks in the Spanish book on Baby Bee.

Yes, King Umberto was very hansome.

Especially when he was young (around 1930). Margherita Sarfati, Mussolini's jewish mistress, who knew the prince very well at this time (when she was made lady-in-waiting of Queen Helena), wrote in her Mémoires that "the prince of Piemont had the beauty of a young god from Hollywood"!

who is that Lady?



Actually this is the most honorable daguerrotype of occidental history.

It is Marie Louise archiduchesse d'Autriche et Grande duchesse de Parme at the end of her life.

Yes, the first time I've seen this daguerréotype, I was breathless!

Think of it, we have here Napoléon's wife!

Amazing!!!

Hello!

Great pictures of Vera, but... please, does someone know a picture of her husband, duke Eugen of Wurtemberg?

from Wikipedia.

But of course... Wikipedia, quite simply! Sorry, I should have checked this before asking it here...

Thank you in any case Kmerov!

Love it!! Who was the painter do we know!?

Yes, the picture is attributed to François-Joseph Desvernois, but there are very few informations about him. It was a french miniaturist who essentially worked in 1799 in Strasbourg (Charlotte's portrait was certainly made at this time),  and later in Switzerland... That's all what we know...

Here’s a portrait of Eugen with one of his wives. I am not sure is this Mathilde of Helena: the hair-do is more closer to the 1830s though so could have been Helena




Yes, it can only be Helena, because Mathilde died in 1825, and then she couldn't definitively have such a hair-style...

But now, here is the point : does someone know a picture of Mathilde? I know, it must be difficult, she died so young...

I'm sorry but there is a little problem...

"Constance, Princess of Antioch,lived from 1127-1153" was the first wife of Renaud de Châtillon, and they had a daughter, Agnès, who was married with Bela III, king of Hungary.

But Renaud de Châtillon had a second wife, Etiennette de Milly (ca 1145-1197), and she was the mother of Alicia (or Alix) de Châtillon, who was mother of Azzo VII d'Este...

That means that the Bonapartes are not descendant of Constance, but of Etiennette... And then unfortunately, they don't are descendant of Hugues Capet...

I know that some genealogists (like Chaix d'Est-Ange) said in the past that Alicia de Châtillon was, like Agnès, Constance's daughter... But that is deeply unlikely, and even impossible : Constance died in 1153, and Alicia married Azzo VI d'Este in 1204... Then Alicia would be (at least) a 51 years old bride...

Really, I was disappointed when I saw that... Bonaparte's capetian lineage was so much appealing... But it was too good to be true...  

And by the way, it's also a catastrophe for the "Kings of Jerusalem's lineage", since it would be by Constance too... :-(

Poor Eugenie!!! Why was she compared to a bird??
Lovely photos KarlandZita ;-)

It's a pun... In french "la grue" means the bird "the crane", but also "the hooker, the whore"...

It's one of the despicable caricatures published after 1870... There was all a collection about all the imperial family. Even the little Prince Imperial was caricatured, as "le serin" (other pun in french  = "the canary" / "the silly billy")... The Princess Mathilde : "la truie" (easy to understand, "the sow"...). And so on...

The Emperor (the vulture) :



The Prince Impérial :



Princess Mathilde :



Stupid and scurvy, isn' it?

I'm sorry, but no, madame de Maintenon is not vile at all...

People who say that are only people who don't know the true story of her life, and who don't know how much she was endearing.

By the way her love story with Louis XIV is one of the most moving of the french history. And the end of her life was that of a saint.

Impress Eugénie and the Prince Impérial

Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon

Monsieur, Louis XIV's brother, and Liselotte his second wife

The duke of Penthièvre and his daughter-in-law the princess of Lamballe

Madame Royale, duchess of Angoulême

(I wonder why we are many people to love Impress Eugénie, it's a surprise for me!)
