Travesties in Time

Being that my eyes are not covered with blinkers, like so much of humanity, I see why thing aren't as they seem.

Let's take the fairy tale of Jeanna D'Arc DuLys or simply Jeanna Romee, as was customary sher last name was her mother's, not her father's, but as names were twisted for the sake of time she became known as, Joan of Arc. This one blimp in history is by far the biggest travesty of the Christian Church. They burn someone then declare her innocent...AFTER THE FACT. Then you make her a Sainte. What a pile of BULLSHIT!

Now I'm not going over the usual rigmarole over this person, but there are a couple of things not taken into account.

They say she was a virgin....When she wasn't...In fact her lover, who fought by her side went mad on seeing her executed. His name was Gilles de Rais. Who became quite the mass murderer of his time and was known as Bluebeard. It was said that he wanted to regain his fortune by sacrificing boys to a demon. This is what started it...but there are things that he thought he could regain by the spilling of copeus amounts of blood. This I will explain in a moment.

They say that they burned her several times over to keep from any relics from being taken.....No. The church was all about relics. It was quite the little side business, they wouldn't have given this up.....At the first burning the priest who presided over her murder saw something he was not expecting......She was expecting. The form of the chard baby was there to be seen by all. Not only did the church kill an innocent woman, but killed innocence it's self when her child died at their hands.. This church of God had to cover up their crime. So they kept burning until nothing but ash was there and they disposed of it all in the Seine.

Gilles thought his sacrifices could bring back his love and his baby. This was the true impetus of his insanity. Obviously this was for not....And eventually he was tried and hung for his crimes.

But should it have not been the church who hung too? Their web of deception and lies and the betrayal of the crown caused ALL of it. Could it be that all the religious slaughter that occurred each century in Paris was because of this one blip? Karma can be a bitch when crossed! It was said that all who witness this crime saw something escape from the flame...And it wasn't smoke that rose to the heavens.

They say that Jeanna requested that a cross be held before her eyes as she burned to death. Was this an act of a future saint? Or was this there to remind her who was responsible for her betrayal and death....So in future lifetimes she would eventually know who the enemy was...Who the real source of evil was.

Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was the eldest child of King Louis XVI of France and his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette. As the daughter of the king, she was a Fille de France. Until her marriage to the eldest son of Charles X, the court referred to her by the traditional honorific of Madame Royale.
Once married, she assumed her husband's title and was known as the duchesse d'Angoulême. She became the Dauphine of France upon the accession of her father-in-law to the throne of France in 1824. She was Queen of France for twenty minutes, in 1830, between the time her father-in-law signed the instrument of abdication and the time her husband, reluctantly, signed the same document, twenty minutes later.


Birth
Marie-Thérèse was the first child and eldest daughter of King Louis XVI of France and his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette. Although people throughout France had been praying for the birth of a male child since the marriage of the royal couple in 1770, the queen greeted her daughter's birth with delight:
Poor little thing; you are not what they wanted, but we will love you nonetheless. A son would have belonged to the State; 'you' shall be mine, and have all my care; you shall share in my happiness and soften my sorrows
she said as they placed the baby in her arms. The baby princess was named after the queen's mother, the Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa. As the eldest daughter of the French king, she was officially known as Madame Royale.

Life at Versailles

Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte with her mother, Marie Antoinette, and brother at Versailles.
Madame Royale's household was headed by her governess, the princesse de Guémenée, who was later replaced by one of the queen's closest friends, the duchesse de Polignac. King Louis XVI was an affectionate father, who delighted in spoiling his daughter and giving her anything she wanted. Marie-Thérèse appreciated him much more than her mother. Marie Antoinette was stricter and was determined that her daughter should not grow up to be as haughty as her husband's unmarried aunts. She often invited children from working-class districts to come and dine with Marie-Thérèse and encouraged the child to give her toys to the poor.
In contrast to her image as a materialistic queen who ignored the plight of the poor, Marie Antoinette at various times attempted to teach her daughter about the sufferings of others. On New Year's Day in 1784, she had some beautiful toys brought to Marie-Thérèse's nursery.
I should have liked to have given you all these as New Year's gifts, the queen said, but the winter is very hard, there is a crowd of unhappy people who have no bread to eat, no clothes to wear, no wood to make a fire. I have given them all my money; I have none left to buy you presents, so there will be none this year.

Marie-Thérèse of France as a young refugee in Vienna in 1795 soon after her departure from Revolutionary France.
Marie-Thérèse was joined in the nursery by two brothers, Louis-Joseph-Xavier-François in 1781 and Louis-Charles in 1785, and a younger sister, Sophie-Hélène-Béatrix in 1786.

[edit] Life during the Revolution
As Marie-Thérèse grew, the French Revolution was building outside the palace. Social discontent mixed with a crippling budget deficit provoked an outburst of anti-absolutist sentiment. By 1789, France was hurtling toward revolt as the result of bankruptcy brought on by the country's support of the American Revolution and high food prices due to drought, all of which was exacerbated by propagandists whose central object of scorn and ridicule was Queen Marie Antoinette.
As the attacks upon the Queen grew ever more vicious, the popularity of the monarchy plummeted. Inside Versailles, court jealousies and xenophobia were the principle causes of resentment and anger towards the Queen. Her unpopularity with certain powerful members of the court, including the Duke of Orléans, led to the printing and distribution of scurrilous pamphlets which accused the Queen of a range of sexual depravities as well as of spending the country into financial ruin. While it is now generally agreed that the Queen's actions did little to provoke such animosity, the damage these papers inflicted upon the monarchy proved to be a catalyst for the upheaval to come.
The worsening political situation however had little effect on Marie-Thérèse. A more immediate tragedy struck when her younger sister, Sophie, died in 1787. This was to be followed not long after by the Dauphin, Louis-Joseph's death from consumption at the height of the political crisis in early 1789.

Move to the Tuileries
With the Bastille was stormed by an angry mob on July 14, 1789 the situation became more critical. The young Madame Royale's life began to be personally affected as several members of the royal household were sent abroad for their own safety. Marie-Thérèse's uncle, the Comte d'Artois, was sent abroad on the orders of Louis XVI. Due to her mother's particularly low esteem, those associated with her were also deemed in danger. This included Marie-Thérèse's governess, the Duchess de Polignac, who fled to Switzerland to escape possible assassination.
The Duchess de Polignac was replaced by the stern marquise de Tourzel. The marquise's daughter, Pauline, would become a life-long friend of the Princess.
In October of 1789, the palace was besieged by a hungry mob who were intent on acquiring food they falsely believed to be stored at Versailles and possibly murdering the Queen. While the Royal Family was not harmed, the mob assaulted the palace and demanded the King return to Paris. Outnumbered, unsure of the army's loyalty and aware of the potentially violent results of refusal, Louis XVI capitulated. Marie-Thérèse and her family were taken to the Tuileries Palace where they were placed under virtual house arrest.

The Orphan in the Temple
As the political situation deteriorated, the king and queen came to the decision that their lives were in danger. The queen was also convinced that France's future lay in the royal family escaping Paris and its revolutionary atmosphere. They hoped to make it to the northeastern fortress of Montmédy, which was a royalist stronghold. Their attempted flight away from the city was intercepted in Varennes where they were arrested and escorted back to Paris.

The Temple
In August 1792, the entire family was imprisoned in the Temple Fortress after the monarchy was abolished. In January 1793, Marie-Thérèse's father, Louis XVI, was sent to the guillotine. Father and daughter had always been very close, and his death devastated the surviving family.
The following July, guards entered the royal family's rooms and took away Marie-Thérèse's young brother, the future Louis XVII. The three women left in the fortress were Marie Antoinette, Marie-Thérèse and Louis XVI's youngest sister, Madame Élisabeth. Of these three, only Marie-Thérèse survived the Reign of Terror.

Marie Antoinette's death
In October 1793, Marie Antoinette was taken to the Conciergerie Prison and accused of treason, incest with her son and other perversions. While there was no evidence to support the latter charges, it was well known that the former queen engaged in extensive covert correspondence with foreign powers during the Revolution. Regardless, it was a foregone conclusion that she would be declared guilty. She was executed by Charles Henri Sanson, the former royal executioner, on 16 October. In May 1794, Marie-Thérèse's aunt Élisabeth was taken from her in the middle of the night, and executed the following day.
During the remainder of her imprisonment in the tower of the Temple, Marie-Thérèse was never told what had happened to her family. All she knew was that her father was dead, and she felt alone in the world. The following words are scratched on the wall of her room in the tower: "Marie-Thérèse is the most unhappy creature in the world. She can obtain no news of her mother; nor be reunited to her, though she has asked it a thousand times." "Live, my good mother! whom I love well, but of whom I can hear no tidings." "O my father! watch over me from heaven above, life was so cruel to her." "O my God! forgive those who have made my family die."
On the 11th of May Maximilien Robespierre visited Marie-Thérèse in prison, but there is no record of the conversation. It was only once the Reign of Terror subsided that Marie-Thérèse was allowed to leave France. She was taken to Vienna, the capital city of her cousin, the Holy Roman Emperor Francis II.

Life as an émigrée
Marie-Thérèse later left Vienna and moved to Mitau, Courland (now Jelgava, Latvia), where her father's eldest surviving brother, the comte de Provence, lived as a guest of Tsar Paul I of Russia. He had proclaimed himself King of France as Louis XVIII after the death of Marie-Thérèse's brother. With no children of his own, he wished his niece to marry Louis-Antoine, duc d'Angoulême, his nephew and her cousin, who would be the eventual dynastic heir to the throne of France. Marie-Thérèse agreed unquestioningly, happy only to be part of a family again.
Louis-Antoine was a shy, stammering, diffident young man. His father, the comte d'Artois, who viewed his eldest son as a crass embarrassment, tried to persuade Louis XVIII against the marriage. The wedding, however, went ahead in 1799. The couple had no children.

In England
The royal family moved to Great Britain, where they settled in Buckinghamshire. Marie-Thérèse's uncle and father-in-law, the comte d'Artois, spent most of his time in Edinburgh, where he had been given apartments at Holyrood House. The long years of exile ended with the abdication of Napoleon I in 1814, when the royal family was restored to the French throne.

The Bourbon Restoration
Louis XVIII attempted to steer a middle-course between liberals and the Ultra-royalists led by his younger brother, the comte d'Artois. He also attempted to suppress the many gentlemen who claimed to be Marie-Thérèse's long-lost younger brother, Louis XVII. Needless to say, these claimants caused the princess a good deal of emotional distress.
Marie-Thérèse found her return emotionally draining and she was deeply distrustful of the many Frenchmen who had supported either the republic or Napoleon I of France's rule. She visited the site where her brother had died, and the cemetery where her parents and aunt Madame Élisabeth were buried. The royal remains were re-buried in Saint-Denis Basilica, the royal necropolis of France, in January 1815.

1815
In March 1815 Napoléon returned to France and rapidly began to gain supporters and raised an army, in the period known as the One Hundred Days. Louis XVIII fled France, but Marie-Thérèse, who was in Bordeaux at the time, attempted to rally the local troops. The troops agreed to defend her but not to cause a civil war with Napoléon's troops. Marie Thérèse stayed in Bordeaux despite Napoléon's orders for her to be arrested when his army arrived. Believing her cause was lost and to spare Bordeaux senseless destruction, she finally agreed to flee. Her actions caused Napoléon to remark that she was the "only man in her family."
After Napoléon was defeated at Waterloo on 18 June 1815, the House of Bourbon was restored for a second time.
Tragedy struck when the comte d'Artois' younger son, the duc de Berry, was assassinated by the anti-Bourbon Pierre Louvel, a saddler, on 13 February 1820. Although his father never recovered from the loss, the royal family was cheered when the duchesse de Berry was discovered to have become pregnant by her husband prior to his death. The pregnancy resulted in the birth of Henri, duc de Bordeaux, the so-called "Miracle Child", who later as the Bourbon pretender to the French throne assumed the title of comte de Chambord.

Madame la Dauphine
Profile of Madame Royale
Louis XVIII died on 16 September 1824 and was succeeded by his younger brother, the comte d'Artois, as Charles X. Marie-Thérèse's husband, Louis-Antoine, was now heir to the throne, and she was addressed as Madame la Dauphine. However, anti-monarchist feeling was on the rise again. Charles's ultra-royalist sympathies alienated many members of the working and middle-class.
There was an uprising in 1830 in which the royal family was betrayed by their cousin, Louis-Philippe, duc d'Orléans, who implied to the Chambre des Députés that Charles had abdicated absolutely when he had in fact nominated his grandson, the duc de Bordeaux, to be the new king. The abdication of Charles X was followed twenty minutes later by the abdication of Louis-Antoine. This deception worked, and Louis-Philippe became king.
Marie-Thérèse chose to go into exile with her uncle and husband rather than stay in a France ruled by Louis-Philippe. They sailed to Britain in 1830.

Final exile
The royal family lived in Edinburgh until 1833 when the former king chose to move to Prague as a guest of Marie-Thérèse's cousin, the Emperor Francis II of Austria. They moved into the opulent luxury of Schloss-Hradschin. Later, the royal family left Prague and moved to the estate of Count Coronini near Gorizia, Italy. Marie-Thérèse devotedly nursed her uncle through his last illness there in 1836, when he died of cholera.
Marie-Thérèse's husband died in 1844, and he was buried next to his father. Marie-Thérèse then moved to the castle of Frohsdorf, just outside of Vienna. She spent her days there walking, reading, praying and sewing. Her nephew, who now styled himself as the comte de Chambord, and his sister joined her there. In 1848 France became a republic, after Louis-Philippe's reign ended in another revolution.

Death
Marie-Thérèse died of pneumonia on 19 October 1851. It was three days after the fifty-eighth anniversary of the execution of her mother, Marie Antoinette.
Thank all Frenchmen who have remained attached to my family and to me, for the proofs of devotion that they have given us and for the sufferings they have endured for our sakes. I pray God to shower his blessings upon France that I have always loved, even in the time of my bitterest afflictions

After Death
Like her deceased uncle, Marie-Thérèse had remained a devout and sincere Roman Catholic. She was buried in the Bourbon family crypt in the Franciscan monastery of Castagnavizza in Gorizia, Italy (now on the Slovenian side of the border in Nova Gorica), with her father-in-law, King Charles X and her husband, Louis-Antoine.
Later, her nephew, the comte de Chambord, the last male of the senior line of French Bourbons; his wife, the comtesse de Chambord (formerly the Archduchess Marie-Thérèse of Austria-Este, daughter of Duke Francis IV of Modena and his wife, Princess Maria Beatrice of Savoy); and the comte's only sister, Louise, Duchess of Parma were also buried there. Another occupant of the crypt is the famous antiquarian, the duc de Blacas, who was allowed to be buried there in honor of his dutiful years of service as a minister to Kings Louis XVIII and Charles X.
Marie-Thérèse is described on her gravestone as the Queen Dowager of France, a reference to her husband's twenty-minute rule as King Louis XIX of France.

In fiction
Marie-Thérèse has appeared in several motion picture adaptations, mainly to do with her mother's life.
In 1938 she was played by Marilyn Knowlden in Marie-Antoinette, opposite Norma Shearer as the queen.
In 1975, in the French television drama Marie-Antoinette, Marie-Thérèse was played by Anne-Laura Meury.
In 1989 she was played by Katherine Flynn in The French Revolution. Katherine's on-screen mother, Marie Antoinette, was played by her real mother, Jane Seymour.
In 2001, Marie-Thérèse's character appeared briefly in the costume-drama The Affair of the Necklace opposite Joely Richardson as Queen Marie Antoinette.
In 2006, Marie Antoinette, directed by Sofia Coppola was released. Marie-Thérèse was played by two different actresses. At age two, she was played by Lauriane Mascaro, and at age six she was played by Florrie Betts. Kirsten Dunst starred as her mother, Marie Antoinette.
Recently, Marie-Thérèse's character appeared in a Northern Irish play on the mystery of Louis XVII. The characters of Louis XVII, Charles X and the princess's governess Louise-Élisabeth de Tourzel also appeared. The monarchist author of the play, All Those Who Suffered, explains his inspiration at http://www.royaltymonarchy.com/opinion/articles/russell.html
Marie-Thérèse's life provided inspiration for the novel Madame Royale by Elena Maria Vidal. It was a sequel to Vidal's novel Trianon, which looked at Versailles before the Revolution.
More recently, author Sharon Stewart wrote a historical fiction novel based on the writings of Marie-Thérèse, The Journal of Madame Royale. She first titled her book The Dark Tower, since part of it takes place in the Tower where the princess and her family were kept, but after it became part of a series called "Beneath the Crown", the title was changed to The Princess in the Tower.

Mon Marie

I viewed Marie Anoinette today starting around noonish. I thought it was rather long and quite slow and boring. But it was beautifully shot. The sound could have been done better, it was low leval and the actors tended to mumble their lines as it was.

Any special revelations after watching it? No. It didn't go past the point where the family fled Versailles. The trauma of the events after would not have set in, having the movie drop at this point. perhaps it's for the best....There's always the book.

After the movie I put on V/V Louis Says and Living In The Shadows ONLY ending on exactly 2:22pm

Searching...

I took a tour around town to find books and the ellusive DVD. I found the book on which the film was based, but nothing on Marie Therese. Then later on I found the DVD used at Hollywood Video.

I will save the viewing of it until tomorrow.

Mal Energies

How Funny the energies surrounding the journey to discovery of this lifetime seems to be reinacting a trail of destruction. But the blood shed during the revolution on innocent people may have something to do with it. People die, but memories do not, nor do the energies that may have created it.

What am I saying? Marie Marguerite Monvoisin did Louis XIV a service by saving his life and having the horror that her stepmother created destroyed. It is obvious that she would be reborn to the royal family of the reverse number. XIV to XVI. And like what La Voisin did to her family Marie went to a family that would have their blood shed also in the rabid maddness of the time.

Was La Voisin around in physical form them or was a just her filthy spirit lingering over Paris, like a spector of Hell tha inspired this revenge on those who burned her at the stake? It's hard to tell.

The day Levi died I took back one of my DVD's of Whatz-Her-Face that I sold off 2 weeks prior. It was Victor/Victoria. Why? Because She Who Won't Be Named had a musical number in it....Louis Says. A Mockery that kept of the lies on Marie Antoinette. Not to mention the song Living In The Shadows.

I was going to buy the 2006 version of Marie Antoinette at the same time, but there was not one copy of it at the largest entertainment stores in town.

Four Tops-Minus One

Levi Stubbs of the musical group, the Four Tops died. Oct 17, 2008. He was born 6/6/36. I remember seeing them perform at Disneyland back in the 70's.

Funny how it's seems to reflect the picture of the children. But unlike the representaion of a family handed down over the centuries, the memory of Levi will fade, as does all celebrities. Such a big deal is made over them at the time....Until the next one dies and they are pushed down the list into obscurity.

A Journey-Part Trois

So who was this child? Her name was Marie Therese Charlotte. Born 1/19/1778--Died 10/19/1851. The first born child of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. The boy in the portrait was her brother, Louis Joseph, born 10/22/1781. The Dauphin of France. He died young of consumption 6/4/1789.





It was then her second brother, Louis Charles, became Dauphin. He was born 3/27/1785. Lived long enough to be stolen from his family and sent to live with a crude man who saw to it than he eventually died 6/8/1795. Buried 6/10/1795. Louis was told his family no long wanted him.

She had a sister, Sophie Hélène Béatrix, who was born 7/9/1786 and died in infancy 6/19/1789.





The portrait here depicts the family. The empty cradle represent Sophie.

When Fairies Die

Edie Adams, born April 16, 1927, who played the Fairy Godmother in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (1957), died 10/15/2008.

A Journey-Part Deux

So I continued to scan the personages of the time. Who Had Marie Marguerite Monvoisin become? She lived a long life and died at home in 1764. To fit into this time period she would have to have reincarnated in a short period of time. But then I am known for a short turn around time between lifetimes.

Then I found this portrait that elicited a direct emotional reaction. Was I this girl?

I briefly scanned the biographical data....Yet I waited on the conclusion.

Son Of France Dies

Guillaume Depardieu, son of Gerard, born April 7, 1971 died of a sudden case of pneumonia on October 13, 2008.

A Jouney

It was a short time ago a friend emailed me with an experience she had when she visited Versailles. She had gone into an area that wasn't normally visited by tourists and had a vision of blood on a white marble pillar. She was told this was where the bread women broke into the palace and murdered several people on Oct 5th, 1789. All in the name of the madness called The Revolution.

This story stuck in the back of my mind. And since this person seems to be able to psychically read me remotely since she lives a couple of thousand miles away, I wondered if she was picking up on a lifetime of mine.

I never studied this time, so on the way to work, I ran a brief search. I ran accross a woman of note, but it seems I was on the wrong path. I wasn't in any rush so I waited.........

Getting Rid Of Rubbish

It's so nice that when you buy DVD's that there are places to sell the stuff off when you don't want it around. I did just that last week.

My Harry Potter collection went first. I really got sick of it...especially after that author said Dumbledore was gay...You know, I am sooo sick of how that community pushes their life style down everyone's throats. My thing is...WHO GIVES A SHIT! It was a nice set of movies without putting that crap out.

Then I dumped the Pirates of The Caribbean collection along with the rest of the Disney stray movies.....Remember...."The Black Queen Trumps All"

Oh yer and what was left of Whatz-Her-Faces junk was dumped off too. There was one CD I couldn't ditch. It's a rare edition of an older release. I may just sell it on Ebay to see what I can get for it. It was worth nothing at Hastings....or I may just chuck in in the dumpster.

Oh Well....So Sad!

Saturday Night Live was on last night and Anne Hathaway, the hostess, did a skit dressed as Mary Poppins saying that she had a contagious liver disease, to explain what the word Supercalifrag...means, to the children. Which Burt and the Policeman has also, might I add. This was a bit freaky and not funny, but since Whatz-Her-Face uses people to convey messages, it could be that she and that troll she's married to has some sort of liver problems. I've seen pictures of both of them in the past where they are quite jaunticed looking....Oh well ain't that just too bad.

Free-ed The Dragon

So many people think that Jesus was a wimp with the teaching about turning the other cheek. I beg to differ. You see Jesus was one of the master wizards of his time, before he went mad and started to think he was the son of god. This tends to happen to people who mess with magick. But with such a simple concept as turning the other cheek, he was saying that, if one does not relatiate in the physical world, the powers that be will take care of the problem. But one has to completely turn their back on their enemy and get to the point where you do not care what happens to them. You see if you habor ANY simpathy to---whom ever. It will not work.

Delting Oooold Trash

I went through All my Yahoo Groups and My OTHER set of Blogs here...You know 'The Devil and Whatz-Her-Face....Part 1 and Part 2...Part 2 containing her coven and DELETED the whole stinking bunch of them.......Today 10/4/2008 at dawn.

Toodles!

A Waste Of Space

I was thinking about doing a celebrity birthday announcement on my blog...Then I suddenly realized...The date I picked... October 1st...No one of any account was born.
