Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for Thursday, 16th May 1918

It is dreadful my life, dreadful yet wonderful to skim the cream off life … gliding along oceans of delight when the world is mourning and is suffering. In the world drenched with misery, is one drop of happiness a sin? Electric waves of depression seem to sweep over Paris. The theatres are all open and the streets and restaurants are crowded. The giant balloons placed in conspicuous places have restored confidence, the idea being that the wires suspended from them impede the progress of the Boche planes. Really they are probably useless, but as a matter of fact there has not been a successful read for three weeks. The people in the know believe the English forces and possibly the French will fall back, that the Ypres salient will be abandoned and that they will take back Amiens or Arras. Then the tide will turn and it will be the Allied hour backed by the Americans to victory …¹ Chaponay² is more cheerful since the duc de Lévis-Mirepoix³ has been acquitted. He is supposed to have left letters written by the Queen Mother of Spain⁴ in a taxicab wrapped in a pair of stays. There are vague rumours that they were left in the house of a well-known actress playing at the Capucines. He was court-martialled, in spite of the opposition of Foch and Clemenceau,⁵ (the ‘Tiger’⁶ ever delighted to persecute an aristocrat) and was freed from blame. The Lévis-Mirepoix are most arrogant and they claim descent from Levi⁷ — and always refer to the Virgin Mary as ‘notre cousine’. The tact of the usually tactless Prince de Beauvau⁸ in not getting into this scrape at Madrid is much commented on. Table-turning⁹ this evening predicted the fall of Clemenceau. Of course the monde¹⁰ hat him and are most Clemenceauphobe,¹¹ although they have no candidate to suggest. I am like them, anti-Pershing,¹² anti-Clemenceau, for no reason unless it is type-antipathy.

Which is remarkably similar to what happened.

Marquis Antoine Marie François de Chaponay-Morancé (1893-1956). In 1923 he would marry Geneviève d’Orléans (1901-83), Princess de France, daughter of the 8th duc de Vendôme.

Antoine Pierre Marie François Joseph de Lévis-Mirepoix (1884-1981) was a historian and novelist. He inherited the dukedom from his father in 1915. He would later become a member of the Académie française. He had fought in the French army but by 1918 was engaged on diplomatic work.

Archduchess Maria Christina of Austria (1858–1929).

Georges Benjamin Clemenceau (1841–1929) was Prime Minister of France from 1906 to 1909 and from 1917 to 1920.

Clemenceau’s nickname. Channon perhaps insufficiently draws attention to the irony of the Prime Minister’s relative leniency in this matter.

In the Book of Genesis, Levi is the son of Jacob and Leah, and Moses’s great-grandfather.

Charles-Louis de Beauvau-Craon (1878–1942), 6th Prince of Beauvau, was a veteran of a society scandal in 1909 when, while already married, he fell in love with the married Princesse Bibesco (née Marthe Lahovary) (1886–1973).

A form of seance becoming fashionable in Paris as part of the vogue for spiritualism during the Great War.

Fashionable people.

Because his radical politics held little appeal for the privileged denizens of the faubourg.

General John Joseph ‘Black Jack’ Pershing (1860–1948) was Commander of the American Expeditionary Force on the Western Front.

Paris, France: Pride 2014, 2017

I’m unable to find exact numbers except from 2010, when Paris Pride had 800,000 attendees.

LGBTQ Nation:

Although Paris didn’t start hosting Pride parades until 1979, queer culture has been recognized and documented in France dating back to the Middle Ages, according to twelfth century poet, Michael D. Sibalis.

During this time people were regularly convicted for same-sex activities. In the eighteenth century, historian Maurice Lever documented the rise of queer subcultures in Paris. He described this group as having “its own language, rules, codes, rivalries and clans.”

In the French aristocracy, there were several icons that were known to have same-sex relationships, such as Philippe I, Duke of Orléans and Louis Joseph de Bourbon, Duke of Vendôme.

As the queer community in Paris began to grow around the time of the French Revolution, sodomy was decriminalized in 1791 with the condition that same-sex relations were kept private.

... [read the article for a further history of queer culture in France]

Today, an annual Pride Parade takes place in Paris from Tour Montparnasse and ends at Place de la Bastille. The parade has grown to become one of the most anticipated festivals of the year, gathering over 100 thousand participants at times. After the parade, Le Marais, a predominantly gay neighbourhood in France, holds parties to honor and celebrate queer culture in France.

The Bibliothèque nationale de France is the national library of France, located in Paris. It is the national repository of all that is published in France and also holds extensive historical collections.

The National Library of France traces its origin to the royal library founded at the Louvre Palace by Charles V in 1368. Charles had received a collection of manuscripts from his predecessor, John II, and transferred them to the Louvre from the Palais de la Cité. The first librarian of record was Claude Mallet, the king's valet de chambre, who made a sort of catalogue, Inventoire des Livres du Roy nostre Seigneur estans au Chastel du Louvre. Jean Blanchet made another list in 1380 and Jean de Bégue one in 1411 and another in 1424. Charles V was a patron of learning and encouraged the making and collection of books. It is known that he employed Nicholas Oresme, Raoul de Presle and others to transcribe ancient texts. At the death of Charles VI, this first collection was unilaterally bought by the English regent of France, the Duke of Bedford, who transferred it to England in 1424. It was apparently dispersed at his death in 1435.

Charles VII did little to repair the loss of these books, but the invention of printing resulted in the starting of another collection in the Louvre inherited by Louis XI in 1461. Charles VIII seized a part of the collection of the kings of Aragon. Louis XII, who had inherited the library at Blois, incorporated the latter into the Bibliothèque du Roi and further enriched it with the Gruthuyse collection and with plunder from Milan. Francis I transferred the collection in 1534 to Fontainebleau and merged it with his private library. During his reign, fine bindings became the craze and many of the books added by him and Henry II are masterpieces of the binder's art.

Under librarianship of Amyot, the collection was transferred to Paris during which process many treasures were lost. Henry IV again moved it to the Collège de Clermont and in 1604 it was housed in the Rue de la Harpe. The appointment of Jacques Auguste de Thou as librarian initiated a period of development that made it the largest and richest collection of books in the world. He was succeeded by his son who was replaced, when executed for treason, by Jérôme Bignon, the first of a line of librarians of the same name. Under de Thou, the library was enriched by the collections of Queen Catherine de Medici. The library grew rapidly during the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV, due in great part to the interest of the Minister of Finance, Colbert, an indefatigable collectors of books.

The quarters in the Rue de la Harpe becoming inadequate, the library was again moved, in 1666, to a more spacious house in Rue Vivienne. The minister Louvois took quite as much interest in the library as Colbert and during his administration a magnificent building to be erected in the Place Vendôme was planned. The death of Louvois, however, prevented the realization of this plan. Louvois employed Mabillon, Thévenot and others to procure books from every source. In 1688, a catalogue in eight volumes was compiled.

The library opened to the public in 1692, under the administration of Abbé Louvois, Minister Louvois's son. Abbé Louvois was succeeded by Jean-Paul Bignon, who instituted a complete reform of the library's system. Catalogues were made which appeared from 1739 to 1753 in 11 volumes. The collections increased steadily by purchase and gift to the outbreak of the French Revolution, at which time it was in grave danger of partial or total destruction, but owing to the activities of Antoine-Augustin Renouard and Joseph Van Praet it suffered no injury.

The library's collections swelled to over 300,000 volumes during the radical phase of the French Revolution when the private libraries of aristocrats and clergy were seized. After the establishment of the French First Republic in September 1792, "the Assembly declared the Bibliotheque du Roi to be national property and the institution was renamed the Bibliothèque Nationale. After four centuries of control by the Crown, this great library now became the property of the French people."

A new administrative organization was established. Napoleon took great interest in the library and among other things issued an order that all books in provincial libraries not possessed by the Bibliothèque Nationale should be forwarded to it, subject to replacement by exchanges of equal value from the duplicate collections, making it possible, as Napoleon said, to find a copy of any book in France in the National Library. Napoleon furthermore increased the collections by spoil from his conquests. A considerable number of these books was restored after his downfall. During the period from 1800 to 1836, the library was virtually under the control of Joseph Van Praet. At his death it contained more than 650,000 printed books and some 80,000 manuscripts.

Following a series of regime changes in France, it became the Imperial National Library and in 1868 was moved to newly constructed buildings on the Rue de Richelieu designed by Henri Labrouste. Upon Labrouste's death in 1875 the library was further expanded, including the grand staircase and the Oval Room, by academic architect Jean-Louis Pascal. In 1896, the library was still the largest repository of books in the world, although it has since been surpassed by other libraries for that title. By 1920, the library's collection had grown to 4,050,000 volumes and 11,000 manuscripts.

M. Henri Lemaître, a vice-president of the French Library Association and formerly librarian of the Bibliothèque Nationale ... outlined the story of French libraries and librarians during the German occupation, a record of destruction and racial discrimination. During 1940–1945, more than two million books were lost through the ravages of war, many of them forming the irreplaceable local collections in which France abounded. Many thousands of books, including complete libraries, were seized by the Germans. Yet French librarians stood firm against all threats, and continued to serve their readers to the best of their abilities. In their private lives and in their professional occupations they were in the van of the struggle against the Nazis, and many suffered imprisonment and death for their devotion. Despite Nazi opposition they maintained a supply of books to French prisoners of war. They continued to supply books on various proscribed lists to trustworthy readers; and when liberation came, they were ready with their plans for rehabilitation with the creation of new book centres for the French people on lines of the English county library system.

Conde

Condé : La famille dans l'Histoire de France

Conde

Porté notamment dans le Calvados, désigne celui qui est originaire d'une localité appelée Condé, toponyme très fréquent en France(22 communes) issu du gaulois condate (=confluent). Dans le Calvados, on notera les communes de Condé-sur-ifs et Condé-sur-Seulles.

Conde est classé au 3382ème des noms de famille en France.

La maison de Condé est une branche cadette de la maison capétienne de Bourbon, elle-même cadette des Capétiens. Elle est fondée par Louis Ier de Bourbon (1530-1569), prince de Condé en 1546, cinquième fils du prince Charles IV, duc de Vendôme et aîné de la maison de Bourbon. Le prince Louis Ier était le frère d'Antoine, roi consort de Navarre et père du roi Henri IV.

Louis I, prince de Condé, chef du parti Calviniste (Une branche du Protestantisme), né en 1530 de Charles de Bourbon, duc de Vendôme, fit ses premières armes sous le maréchal de Brissac en Piémont, et se distingua dans plusieurs actions ; mais après la mort de Henri II, les mécontentements que lui firent essuyer les Guise le jetèrent dans le parti des réformés. Il fut, dit-on, le moteur secret de la conspiration d'Amboise, et comme, tel il venait d'être condamné au dernier supplice, lorsque la mort de François Ier le sauva. Charles IX lui rendit la liberté ; il n'en usa que pour se mettre ouvertement à la tête des Protestants. Il s'empara de plusieurs villes, mais il perdit la bataille de Dreux et y fut fait prisonnier (1512). Rendu à la liberté par la paix de 1563, il reprit les armes en 1567, livra la bataille de Saint-Denis, qui resta indécise, puis, en 1569, celle de Jarnac, qu'il perdit. Blessé dans le combat, il s'était déjà rendu prisonnier lorsqu'il fut lâchement assassiné par Montesquiou, capitaine aux gardes du duc d'Anjou. Il est le premier de sa famille qu'on ait appelé M. le Prince. On a de lui des Mémoires (dans la collection Michaud et Poujoulat).

Henri II, prince de Condé, fils posthume du précédent, né en 1588, mort en 1646, fut aimé de Henri IV, qui le fit élever dans la religion catholique. Il avait épousé la belle Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency, et fut obligé de l'emmener à Bruxelles pour la soustraire aux poursuites de Henri IV. Pendant la minorité orageuse de Louis XIII, il se mit à la tête d'un parti de mécontents : il fut pour ce fait arrêté et enfermé pendant trois ans à la Bastilles et au château de Vincennes. Il rentra en grâce dans la suite et fut nommé, à la mort de Louis XIIII, chef du conseil de régence. Sa plus grande gloire, dit Voltaire, est d'avoir été le père du Grand Condé.  

Louis II, prince de Condé, dit le Grand Condé, premier prince du sang, connu d'abord sous le nom de duc d'Enghien, né à Paris en 1621, de Henri II, prince de Condé, montra dans la carrière militaire un génie précoce. Nommé général en chef à l'âge de 22 ans (1643), il défit entièrement à Rocroy les Espagnols bien supérieurs en nombre et redoutables alors par leur infanterie. L'année suivante, il battit les Allemands à Fribourg; il gagna en 1645 contre Mercy la bataille de Nordlingen, et prit Dunkerque en 1646. Moins heureux en Catalogne, il ne put prendre Lérida; mais il remporta bientôt après en Artois, sur l'archiduc Léopold, la victoire de Lens, qui amena la paix avec l'Allemagne (1648). Pendant les troubles de la Fronde, Condé, qui avait d'abord défendu la cour, prit ensuite parti contre Mazarin. Il fut alors arrêté (1650) et subit une détention de treize mois. Aussitôt qu'il fut libre, il ne songea qu'à la vengeance ; il leva des troupes, marcha sur Paris, et défit le maréchal d'Hocquincourt à Bléneau près de Gien ; mais il fut battu lui-même par Turenne au faubourg Saint-Antoine (1652). Après cette défaite, il passa dans les rangs des Espagnols ; mais sans y ramener la victoire.  

Condé (Louis Joseph, prince de), fils de Louis Henri, duc de Bourbon, et 4e descendant du Grand Condé, né en 1736, servit avec distinction dans la guerre de Sept ans et contribua au gain de la bataille de Johannisberg (1763). Lors de la Révolution, il fut un des premiers à quitter la France, et forma dès 1789, sur les bords du Rhin, cette armée d'émigrés connue sous le nom d'armée de Condé. Après avoir fait en pure perte des prodiges de valeur à Wissembourg, à Haguenau, à bentheim, le prince fut obligé de congédier son armée et se retira en 1800 en Angleterre. Il rentra en France à la Restauration et reçut de Louis XIII les titres de grand maître de la maison du roi et de colonel général de l'infanterie. Il mourut à Chantilly en 1818, à 82 ans. C'est lui qui avait fait construire le Palais de Bourbon (qui accueille aujourd'hui l'Assemblée nationale, à Paris).

Il eut pour fils Louis H. Joseph de Bourbon, prince de Condé, plus connu sous le nom de duc de Bourbon, et qui eut pour fils l'infortuné duc d'Enghien.

La maison de Condé s'est éteinte avec ces deux derniers. Son histoire a été écrite par le duc d'Aumale (1862 et suiv.).

Le château de Condé est un domaine privé habité toute l'année situé à Condé-en-Brie(Aisne), sur la route du Champagne, à 100 km à l'est de Paris.

Le château de Condé fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 18 octobre 1979.

LGTBQA Royals

Louis Joseph, Duke of Vendôme

He married Marie Anne de Bourbon  a daughter of Henri Jules, Prince of Condé and granddaughter of Le Grand Condé. Reputedly very ugly, her father died leaving her unmarried. Her brother, who became the Prince of Condé in 1709, died the next year not having helped his sister marry. She could have married the duc du Maine in 1692, but Maine preferred Marie Anne's sister, Anne Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon, and married her instead. 

The marriage ceremony occurred at the chapel at the Château de Sceaux on 21 May 1710. Sceaux was the residence of Anne Louise Bénédicte. Louis Joseph was fifty-five years old at the time. He was a Marshal of France and had been designated as the heir of his cousin, King Philip V of Spain In the event that Philip should die childless, the House of Bourbon had decided that Louis Joseph would become the next king of Spain. 

The marriage remained childless though. This may have been due to the homosexual tendencies of her husband. Vendôme had been a lover of Marie Anne's own brother-in-law, the Prince of Conti, husband of her oldest sister, Marie Thérèse de Bourbon. As it turned out, Marie Anne died in 1718 without any children.

My Questions:

If you had the chance to meet your favorite historical figure, what is the first thing you would ask them?

What is a trait you share with your favorite historical figure?

Who is Isabel de Farneso? because Idk much about her except the fact that she is ambitious.

im always happy to talk to you :3 makes me happy.

long ass post as usual (this is to be expected when handling with me):

1.IIII i guess people would expect me to say that felipe v is my favourite historical figure, but I dont like him in a historical way, he is just my blorbo. My favourite one is Louis XVIII as he was a really good king, I would say the best France ever had (I would say the only good one they ever had), and I dont have any questions about him because I went down the french rabbit hole. But I have been hyperfixating on Robespierre lately and there is not much known about him in his intimate life and thats something I would really want to know because I am a communist.

2.III with Louis XVIII hehe we are both INTPs 5w6 and gay and pretentious whores. tbh he was a meanie and that was very real from him. he was a very pathetic whore ngl i love him but he would be today a sassy whore. its so funny to talk about him like this when everybody knows him as the soon-to-die king of the bourbonic restoration but eh he has a very wild story behind. he is my favourite part of the marie antoinette story along with his wife. wild stuff. anyway i share more traits with christian vii of denmark. i love him he is my son

3.Ah finally infodumping. I always expect people who like Spain to know her I am sorry if I talked about her as if everybody knows her iii when I think of Spain I think about my best friend who is from there and about the habsburgs and the catholic kings and Isabel de Farnesio (also known as Elizabeth Farnese or Elisabetta Farnese) . Of course she was the second wife of Philip V of Spain and the last princess of Parma and Piacenza from the Farnese family which you may know them as they come from Carlos I and V of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire (the habsburg guy) . I always expect people who likes habsburgs to like all habsburgs at least the classic ones so ! i will guess you already know him and are aware of his life. She is also related to one of the popes from that time, I cant remember which one, and very important italian nobles which I cannot remember right now. From her childhood she was a very kind and smart woman and all her family loved her. Very important character here is cardinal Alberoni which back at the time wasnt a cardinal but worked for the duke of Parma which was the uncle or the father of Isabel (I cannot tell which one was duke at the time Alberoni was there but it was probably her father) . When the spanish war of succession begins Louis-Joseph de Vendôme is sent to work for Spain and his troops are set in Italy to stop the imperial troops from the territories that back at the time were spanish. So the duke of Parma goes to nicely ask him if he could take his troops out of his territory . as to which vendôme shows him his ass ? which is a power-move for me . so he sent alberoni to talk to vendôme because he got upset because vendôme was like XD lmao anyway alberoni and vendôme began a sexual affair from there which ended in louis-joseph taking him to spain and from there alberoni settling on Philip Vs court . when Marie Louise Gabrielle of Savoy dies (first wife of Philip V) he asks for a new wife and, the princess of Ursins, wanting to keep her power over Philip V, which she usually had over his wife as they were friends, eh Alberoni suggests to marry Philip V to Isabel. This is a nasty plot from Alberoni bc he already told Isabel that Philip V would easily let her manipulate him (he is malewife) . so eh the princess of Ursins thought that Isabel would be nice to her as Isabel would never be able to marry a king without her as she was a very not-rich princess. And so it happened and Isabel made Philip V push the princess of Ursins out of the carriage (literally, in the middle of nowhere) . Isabel de Farnesio is known for taking back the italian territories that Spain lost during the war of succession (may not be all of them, but they gained a lot, and she also made a lot of her children reign there) . She was practically the king of Spain during her time there until Ferdinand VIs reign. She loved her children a lot and her favourite was Filippo di Parma and Carlos III. She was hated by the spaniards and her step-sons as she also hated them. She liked to go hunting and knitting. She is also the one who gave the next bourbon-anjous the weird face (check out the names Ferdinando I de las dos Sicilias or Carlos III de España o Carlos IV de españa o infante Don Luis de Borbón-Vallabriga) . Is this everything about her ? I am having doubts but I read a big ass book about her this year so IIII could probably remember something about her later . may send you an ask about mariana de austria or felipe iv later ! with your permission and reassurance. maybe even talk about don juan josé. i would talk about don juan josé all my life.

Jean Charles Pierre Marie d’Orléans (* 19. Mai 1965 in Boulogne-Billancourt) ist ein Sohn von Henri d’Orléans (* 1933), dem derzeitigen Chef des Hauses Orléans, der als Henri VII. (Heinrich VII.) dessen Prätendent auf den französischen Thron ist. Die Mutter von Jean ist die seit 1984 geschiedene erste Frau von Henri, Marie Therese von Württemberg.

Den privatrechtlichen Titel eines Herzogs von Vendôme trägt Jean d’Orléans seit dem 27. September 1987, den des Dauphin von Viennois seit dem 19. Juni 1999. 2006 wurde er von seiner Familie zum Dauphin de France ernannt, wodurch sein älterer Bruder, François d’Orléans aus der Erbfolge herausgenommen wurde, weil er und seine jüngere Schwester, Blanche, geistig behindert sind.

Jean d’Orléans studierte Philosophie und Rechtswissenschaften, unter anderem in Kalifornien. Er arbeitet in Frankreich im Bankensektor. Er wollte 2001 Tatjana von Oldenburg (* 1974) heiraten. Die Hochzeit wurde aber in letzter Minute abgesagt, weil sein Vater fürchtete, dass die Heirat mit einer Protestantin die Thronansprüche seines Sohnes schwächen könnten.[2] Im März 2009 heiratete Jean d’Orléans Philomena de Tornos. Mit ihr zusammen hat er vier Kinder:

Als französischer König trüge Jean d’Orléans den Namen Jean IV. (Johann IV.).

Henri Philippe Pierre Marie d’Orléans (Henri VII., * 14. Juni 1933 in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre) ist seit dem Tod seines Vaters im Jahr 1999 Chef des Hauses Orléans und dessen Prätendent auf den französischen Thron. Als solcher beansprucht er die Titel Comte de Parisund Duc de France. Die Verfechter seines Thronanspruchs, die Orléanisten, stehen im Gegensatz zu den Legitimisten, deren Thronprätendent Louis Alphonse de Bourbon ist.

Henri ist der Sohn von Henri d’Orléans und Isabelle d’Orléans-Bragance. Nach eigenen Aussagen folgte er dem Willen seines Vaters und des Generals Charles de Gaulle, als er am 5. Juli 1957, im Alter von 24 Jahren, Marie Therese von Württemberg ehelichte, eine Verbindung, die Frankreich und Deutschland einander näherbringen sollte. Nachdem Henri d’Orléans jahrelang von seiner Frau getrennt gelebt hatte, ließ er sich 1984 ohne Zustimmung seines Vaters scheiden und ging am 31. Oktober 1984 eine zweite, außerkirchliche Ehe mit Micaela Cousiño Quinones de Leon ein.

Sein Vater, für Monarchisten der Comte de Paris (Graf von Paris), sprach ihm daraufhin den Titel des Comte de Clermont ab, verlieh ihm den rangniedrigeren Titel des Comte de Mortain. Im Jahr 1987 gab er Henris Sohn Jean den Titel Duc de Vendôme und präsentierte ihn als Nachfolger. Diese Entscheidung machte er einige Jahre später rückgängig. Henri d'Orléans erlangte seine alten Rechte zurück, seiner zweiten Frau wurde der Titel Fürstin von Joinville verliehen.
