The (early) Relationship between Georges de La Fayette and Louis Philippe I

Lately I have gone back to “the roots” so to speak – in other words, I have read the French version of La Fayette’s memoirs (and again realized that the first English version I read was somewhat strange.)

While reading, I found this passage in the fifth volume:

Je ne con les ducs d'Angoulême et de Berry; mais la manière dont le duc d'Orléans demanda de mes nouvelles à mon fils, qu'il avait vu aux États - Unis , me fit un devoir d'aller chez lui

My translation:

I don't know the dukes of Angoulême und de Berry; but the manner in which the Duc d’Orléans inquired after my son, whom he had seen in the United States, made it my duty to go to him.

Most of you are probably aware of the fact that the relationship between the La Fayette’s and the d’Orléans’ often was … interesting to say the least. The Marquis de La Fayette and the Ducs father, Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans or “Philippe Égalité” really did not get along during the French Revolution. In that context it is quite interesting to see how their sons connected.

During the course of the French Revolution Louis Philippe II was executed via the guillotine and his sons fled the country. His oldest son, the new Duc d’Orléans, the one mentioned in the quote above, lived in Switzerland before moving to England and later spending two years in North America, mostly in Philadelphia. In April of 1797 he and two of his brother visited Mount Vernon in Virginia before embarking on a three-month trip of the American backcountry. By October they had concluded their trip and George Washington noted in his diary for October 30, 1797:

30. Wind brisk from No. Wt. & cold. Mer. at 54. Doctr. Stuart went away after breakfast. Mr. Cottineau & Lady, Mr. Rosseau & Lady, the Visct. D’Orleans, & Mr. De Colbert came to Dinner & returned to Alexa. afterwards. A Mr. Stockton from N. Jerseys came in the afternoon.

“[Diary entry: 30 October 1797],” Founders Online, National Archives, [Original source: The Diaries of George Washington, vol. 6, 1 January 1790 – 13 December 1799, ed. Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1979, pp. 265–266.] (09/29/2022)

By late 1797, Georges and Felix Frestel had begun their preparations to return to Europe but Georges would not be reunited with his family prior to February of 1798. I am therefor not quite sure if Georges and the Duc d’Orléans met during one of the described instances or elsewhere. Georges certainly had spent his fair share of time in Philadelphia as well.

One way or the other, the two young Frenchman in exile met and seemingly got along quite nicely. I have sadly never found a statement by Georges himself on the meeting or their subsequent relationship.

🇫🇷 FRANÇAIS / FRENCH 🇫🇷

🏳️‍🌈 COUPLE GAY DU JOUR #3 🏳️‍🌈

Cela fait longtemps que je n'ai pas écrit d'article sur un couple gay (fictif) qui me plaît. Voici donc un nouveau couple issue d'une série télévisée, après le Duc Philippe d’Orléans et le Chevalier Philippe de Lorraine dans la série Versailles, et Agron et Nasir de la série télévisée Spartacus, deux séries historiques, je vais parler d'un autre couple. Mais ce couple est composé de deux ados gays très touchants dans une série réaliste.

ELLIOTT et LUCAS (SKAM - France)

Surnommé Élu par les fans, ce couple gay est formé par Eliott (joué par Maxence Danet-Fauvel) et Lucas (interprété par Axel Auriant) dans la série SKAM - France.

SKAM est une série télévisée norvégienne qui s'est exportée en Espagne, Allemagne, Pays-Bas, Italie, France/Belgique.... Chacune des versions est excellente mais je vais parler de la version franco-belge (depuis 2018) puisque c'est celle que j'ai regardé en entier. Chaque saison de chaque série peut se regarder indépendamment des autres, mais il est également possible de les suivre les unes après les autres afin de voir évoluer les personnages dont les intrigues se poursuivent parfois sur plusieurs saisons. En effet, chaque saison suit un (ou deux) personnage(s) différent(s) et développe une intrigue autour de lui (ou d'eux).

De manière générale, SKAM raconte la vie d'adolescents qui font face à des problèmes actuels (l'addiction aux drogues, le cyberharcèlement,....) mais parfois universels (la peur de l'avenir, de l'engagement,....). C'est une vision de l'adolescence qui n'est ni stéréotypée ni dévalorisante, elle est inclusive et drôle tout en étant émouvante.

Dans la saison 3, on se concentre sur Lucas, ado banal qui voit sa vie bouleverser par l'arrivée d'un nouvel élève, Eliott. Au cours de la saison ils tombent amoureux mais leur relation va être plusieurs fois bouleversée, notamment par le secret d'Eliott.....

Ce couple est complice, partage de belles scènes, parfois très érotiques (la peinture 🎨 de la fresque, les fans sauront de quoi je parle 😏), et c'est bien de montrer l'homosexualité comme quelque chose de naturelle et vrai.

Ce couple est très mignon car il y a une vraie alchimie entre les acteurs, devenus meilleurs amis dans la vraie vie. À l'écran, ils n'hésitent pas à s'embrasser de manière passionnée, ce qui est très tendre et très apaisant à voir. Bien sûr ils rencontrent des obstacles mais ils sont là l'un pour l'autre. Lucas est discret et même s'il a des amis il se sent parfois seul. Eliott est solitaire mais est pourtant très charismatique et n'hésite pas à dire ce qu'il pense même s'il lui arrive de rester en retrait. Cela s'explique aussi par son secret..... Pourtant, il est très protecteur envers Lucas, même si celui-ci va être d'une grande aide pour le garçon qui va être son grand amour.

Lucas et Eliott ont marqués les fans Français et internationaux en raison de leur complicité, leur représentation réaliste de l'amour homosexuel, d'autant qu'ils sont tous les deux hétéros. Les acteurs ont d'ailleurs été les invités d'honneur de l'une des Marche des Fiertés de Paris, en 2017 ou 2018 je crois. En tout cas je les avais vu, et j'avais été super content de les y voir. Ils sont honorés d'avoir jouer des personnages gays et avoir créé de la joie et du bonheur pour les fans de SKAM.

Voilà, je pourrais en dire beaucoup sur ce couple touchant, complice et plus sexy qu'il ne paraît, réaliste aussi mais qui donne envie d'être aimé, d'être en couple, de partager des sentiments amoureux pour une personne belle, drôle et intelligente comme le sont Lucas et Eliott ainsi que leurs interprètes dans la vraie vie, Axel Auriant et Maxence Danet-Fauvel. Je vous met les liens d'articles sur ce couple pour en savoir plus, ainsi que le lien de la saison 3 de SKAM - France consacrée à la relation amoureuse entre Lucas et Eliott, disponible gratuitement sur YouTube. J'espère que cela vous plaira. 😘

🏳️‍🌈 GAY COUPLE OF THE DAY #3 🏳️‍🌈

It's been a long time since I've written an article about a (fictional) gay couple that I like. So here is a new couple from a television series, after Duke Philippe d'Orléans and Chevalier Philippe de Lorraine in the Versailles series, and Agron and Nasir from the television series Spartacus, two historical series, I'm going to talk about a another pair. But this couple is made up of two very touching gay teenagers in a realistic series.

LUCAS and ELIOTT (SKAM - France, 2018)

Nicknamed Élu by the fans, this gay couple is formed by Eliott (played by Maxence Danet-Fauvel) and Lucas (played by Axel Auriant) in the series SKAM - France.

SKAM is a Norwegian television series which has been exported to Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, France/Belgium.... Each of the versions is excellent but I will talk about the Franco-Belgian version (since 2018) since it is the one I watched in full. Each season of each series can be watched independently of the others, but it is also possible to follow them one after the other in order to see the characters evolve, whose intrigues sometimes continue over several seasons. Indeed, each season follows one (or two) different character(s) and develops a plot around him (or them).

In general, SKAM tells the life of teenagers who face current problems (addiction to drugs, cyberbullying,....) but sometimes universal (fear of the future, of commitment,. ...). It is a vision of adolescence that is neither stereotyped nor demeaning, it is inclusive and funny while being moving.

In season 3, we focus on Lucas, an ordinary teenager who sees his life turned upside down by the arrival of a new student, Eliott. During the season they fall in love but their relationship will be upset several times, in particular by Eliott's secret...

This couple is an accomplice, sharing beautiful scenes, sometimes very erotic (the painting 🎨 of the fresco, fans will know what I'm talking about 😏), and it's good to show homosexuality as something natural and true.

This couple is very cute because there is a real chemistry between the actors, who have become best friends in real life. On screen, they don't hesitate to kiss passionately, which is very tender and very soothing to see. Of course they encounter obstacles but they are there for each other.

Lucas is discreet and, even if he has friends, he sometimes feels alone. Eliott is solitary but is nevertheless very charismatic and does not hesitate to speak his mind even if he happens to stay in the background. This can also be explained by his secret..... However, he is very protective of Lucas, even if he is going to be a great help for the boy who is going to be his great love.

Lucas and Eliott have marked French and international fans because of their complicity, their realistic representation of homosexual love, especially since the actors who played them are both straight (officially).

The actors were also the guests of honor at one of the Paris Gay Pride, in 2017 or 2018 I think. In any case, I had seen them, and I had been very happy to see them there. They are honored to have played gay characters and created joy and happiness for SKAM fans.

Here, I could say a lot about this touching couple, complicit and sexier than it seems, realistic too but which makes you want to be loved, to be in a relationship, to share romantic feelings for a beautiful, funny person and intelligent as are Lucas and Eliott as well as their interpreters in real life, Axel Auriant and Maxence Danet-Fauvel.

I put you the links of articles on this couple to find out more, as well as the link of season 3 of SKAM - France devoted to the romantic relationship between Lucas and Eliott, available for free on YouTube.

I hope you will like it. 😘

Hi! It is me. I'm working on two books now. I have evolved. Have you guessed it has something to do with Louis XIV?

It has something to do with four generations of Bourbons. I get to write it with my best friend I met here on Tumblr over five years ago. @fortunatelyclevercandy. We have a Tumblr: @thesecretofthehouseofbourbonbook and it's newsfeed: @newsfromthehouseofbourbon

I haven't been the same since I was allowed to sit on the throne of Mirkwood for @tkwrtrilogy. Now, I have to rule them all. I get rule France as Henri IV, Louis XIII, and Louis XIV. My co-author gets the privilege of being my little brothers; Gaston Duc d’Orléans and Philippe I, Duc d'Orléans (Monsieur) respectively.

This is not a fan fiction. This is the story history never told you about. We hope you will enjoy it. If you have started reading here, please continue with Louis XIII. But The Sun King is on his way this fall.

Written in English, French, Spanish, and Italian where applicable.

There isn’t enough love for this show on tumblr so. Here’s some of the lovely Christophe Maé as Monsieur, le frère du Roi (aka Philippe d’Orléans) from the 2005 comédie-musicale, le Roi Soleil.

The song is ‘Ça Marche’ Lyrics below

Tout est dans l'allure, C'est une certitude, Tout est dans le style et la pause attitude, Mets des crabes dans un panier, C'est la société, Des panurges et des requins associés,

Ca marche Bras dessus et bras dessous, Ca marche L'un sur l'autre dans la boue, Ca marche Tant qu'on peut encore debout Monter les marches,

Ca roule Sans respect, ni foi, ni loi, S'écroule Sur ceux qui font pas le poids, Ca tourne

Et ça tournera comme ça Tant qu'ça marche,

Chacun ses blessures Et ses habitudes, Chacun dans la jungle a sa soif d'altitude, Des loups dans la bergerie Bestiale comédie, Depuis que l'immonde et monde sont unis,

Ca marche Bras dessus et bras dessous, Ca marche L'un sur l'autre dans la boue, Ca marche Tant qu'on peut encore debout Monter les marches,

Ca roule Sans respect, ni foi, ni loi, S'écroule Sur ceux qui font pas le poids, Ca tourne Et ça tournera comme ça Tant qu'ça marche,

L'homme est un animal Qu'on dit civilisé, Pour qui tout est parades et mondanités, Entre mâles et femelles, C'est une espèce en voie de disparité,

La la la la la la la, Oh no, oh la la la, Houu la la la la la la la, Oh no hoho,

Bras dessus et bras dessous, L'un sur l'autre dans la boue, Tant qu'on peut encore debout Monter les marches, Oh sans respect Sur ceux qui font pas de poids Et ça tournera comme ça Tant qu'ça marche,

Ca marche Bras dessus et bras dessous, Ca marche L'un sur l'autre dans la boue, Ca marche Tant qu'on peut encore debout Monter les marches,

Ca roule Sans respect, ni foi, ni loi, S'écroule Sur ceux qui font pas le poids, Ca tourne Et ça tournera comme ça Tant qu'ça marche,

La la la la la la la, (ça marche, ça marche) Oh no, oh la la la, (ça marche) Houu la la la la la la la.

Battle of Hanau by Horace Vernet (1824). “The Battle of Hanau (30-31 October 1813), took place between Austro-Bavarian forces and French forces. This scene illustrates the attack of the Austro-Bavarian cavalry charging the French Grand Battery. Commanding the French Grand Battery is General Antoine Drouot (depicted on the right side of the painting, with an Austrian cavalryman meaning to strike him down). It also illustrates the French Guard cavalry countercharging the enemy cavalry, with its commander, General Nansouty (illustrated on the left-centre of the painting, with his back to the viewer) directing the operation.” Source

le Général Drouot

le Général Nansouty (his queue)

__________

In the Memoirs of François d’Orléans (Prince de Joinville, youngest son of Louis-Philippe), this painting was in their chateau. It was commissioned by Louis-Philippe before he was King, he was duc d’Orléans at the time. Little Joinville was very impressed by General Drouot, who was a visitor to their house; and he wanted to join the artillery because of this painting. (He went into the navy.) This memoir is in English on gutenberg.org

⚜️XIV⚜️: I am Dieudonné (Ch. I/Pt. V)

It would be a few days before we would get to see Papa again. It was difficult to keep Philippe occupied the first day. It seemed he would ask to see our father every hour of the day. At night, he would cling to me so tightly, my arm would become numb. Once he fell asleep, I pulled my arm away gently. When I fell asleep, he take my arm again.

One morning, I opened my eyes to see a face I was not often accustomed.

“Louis.” It was Maman.

I sat up quickly. My movements woke Philippe.

“Maman,” he said, sitting up. “Where is Papa?”

“You will both get to see your father today,” she said. She was smiling at us. As a child, I never questioned her motives, but I knew she was always thinking behind a pleasant façade.

“Now,” I asked.

“After you have dressed and have eaten,” she said motioning to the servants. “Your father is eager to see you both. He is feeling much better, but he must stay in bed until his health recovers completely.”

“Yes, Maman,” I said softly.

“I want to go now,” Philippe said.

“Philippe, you will listen to your mother,” she said, sternly. “Do as you are told.”

“Yes, Maman,” he answered, giving her a cold stare. While our father lived, his confidence was unbroken.

“Good boy,” she said. “Françoise, bring them the king when they are ready.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” our governess answered, bowing to our mother. With that, Maman left the room. Her grace and beauty was as undeniable as her ambition. As our governess took Philippe to be dress, I got out of bed to be dressed.

After we had eaten, we were taken to my father apartments. When the doors were opened, Philippe nearly flew out of our governess’ arms.

“Papa,” he squealed in delight. We both ran to our father. He was lying in bed propped up by pillows. He looked far better than before as color had returned to his face.

“Bontemps,” Papa said to the man standing beside his bed. “If you would, please.”

“Of course, Sire,” he said. He had a gentle smile. He lifted each of us up onto the bed. Philippe jumped on top of Papa. He tried to hide the pain but I could see it.

“Easy, Philippe,” he said. “I am still recovering.”

“Take us outside,” Philippe said.   “I am afraid I cannot do that today,” he answered. “But perhaps when I am feeling better.”

“Why are you ill, Papa,” I asked.

“Do not worry, Louis,” he said. “It is nothing.”

“Then take us outside,” Philippe said. “I want to go outside.”

Papa laughed as he looked at me.

“Has your brother always been this persistent,” he asked.

“Since he learned to speak.”

“When I get better, I promise I will take you out into the garden, Philippe,” Papa said. “Will you behave until then?”

Philippe thought about it for a moment.

“Yes, Papa,” he finally answered. “But you must get better.”

“I promise,” Papa said.

“Your Majesty,” a man from across the room. “Monsieur has arrived.”

“Send him in,” Papa said.

My uncle came into the room. Gaston Jean-Baptiste, Duc d’Orléans, our father’s younger brother. I could hardly remember a time when they got along. I never understood their relationship.

“Good Morning, Brother,” he said. He was remarkably gleeful. “I see my two nephews are doing well.”

“Gaston,” Papa said, smiling. “How are you?”

“I am doing much better than you are,” he said, approaching the bed. “I pray that God may return you to good health. France needs its king.”

“I can rule from my bed,” Papa answered. “It is my body that recuperates, not my mind.”

“How is Le Dauphin,” Gaston said to me.

“I am well, Uncle,” I answered softly.

“That is good,” he said. “And le Petit Monsieur?”

Philippe looked at him. I could not tell what he was thinking until he opened his mouth.

“What?”

“How are you,” Gaston asked.

“Good,” he answered. “I am not ill. Papa is.”

Though faint, I could hear soft chuckles around the room.

“I have an idea, Philippe,” Papa began. “How would you like Gaston to take you into the garden?” I wished he had not asked that question.

“Why,” Philippe asked.

“Because you wanted to go into the garden, remember?”

“Not with him, Papa,” Philippe said.

“Your Majesty,” our governess said as she walked over to us. “I will take them. I am sure you require some time with His Highness.”

“Thank you, Françoise,” Papa said.

“Yes, Thank you, Françoise,” Gaston said, as she took Philippe into her arms. I jumped off the bed.

“Papa, will we see you later,” I asked.

“We shall see, Louis,” he said. “For now, I wish for you and your brother to play. Do not worry about me. I shall be with you for some time.”

“Yes, Papa.” I took my governess’ hand and she led us away. I thought his words to me were unusual. I did not understand how long ‘some time’ would be.--The Secret of the House of Bourbon–XIV by Jaynaé Marie Miller. 1-5-2022
