capet

There's no way you could connect with, say of a dozen of fungoid admirals in the way you connect with a Hanoverian Capet general who learned to respect eastern religions on an aborted crusade and is now wed to a close relative of a recently ousted Czar.

What "revolutions" were there in France between the ascension of Hugh Capet and the European Wars of Religion?

And this can't be hidden under capet (imho) as a "I can't offer service without it" (legitimate interest).

If you were a late 18th century french reporter writing a report about the death of king Louis XVI, would you write "King Louis was murdered", "King Louis was executed", "former king Louis executed by means of guillotine for high treason", "citizen Louis Capet beheaded on the order of the National Convention" or something else?
