The Bourbon fella's father married into the Franco family, too. That helps a lot.

Franco is his great-grandfather, right?  :ph34r:

I had to look this up because I came up to this guy through random wiki surfing after listening to Mike Duncan's latest Revolutions podcast on the 1830 French Revolution. did you listen to it?

I haven't, I tend to wait until he finishes a Revolution and then binge it at the gym.

It warms my heart that there is still a small but active royalist movement in France.

He just finished 1830 on Sunday so binge away.

Louis XX is not descended from any of the recent kings though, he goes through the Spanish Kings and his most recent French King ancestor is Louis XIV. I am happy to report that the descendants of Louis XV have all been extinguished in the male line.

He does have a fine looking head though, it would be lovely in a basket.

The mess happened when Philip The Fair's grandsons failed to have sons. This is just something to laugh at.

Information on France c. 2050? I don't believe I'm claiming to have facts about that. Are you familiar with the nature of time?

Whatever information that leads you to think that "a European Caliphate" like the one you describe is even remotely likely.

Look at all the votes the caliphal candidate got.

Hey! The practicing Catholics in France went for Fillon. They clearly believe in forgiveness :P

I believe he said that he's still going to do a couple of suplementals, but of course those are optative. I must say I rather liked this one, being so short and to the point. And I was also not very aware of its details, so it's always nice to learn new events.

It warms my heart that there is still a small but active royalist movement in France.

But, of course, it's splintered. There are Legitimists, Orleanists aand Bonapartists.  :P

Which is what saved France in 1871. Well that and Henri's idiocy, which is always a safe bet when you are dealing with the Bourbons. No offense Spain :P

Offend away, it's not as if we treat our Bourbons with much respect anyway. :P

They treat it alright in Kentucky.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I met a Bonapartist over there a few years back. Nuttier than squirrel shit.
