Here's an interesting question.  Which of the two contenders is the legitimate ruler of France?

The "House of Bonaparte" is the bastard child of an already illegitimate French Revolution.  So it has to be the Duke of Anou.

The House of Windsor by right of conquest, right?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

:x

Edit: No, I take that back.

The question should read "Who is the legitimate sovereign of France".  Clearly the People have an important role in the rule of France.  I would never support a return to the "l'estate, c'est moi" philosophy.

The People never wore a crown.  They were never a king or an emperor.

For the purposes of this poll (just as in real life), assume that any republic is inherently illegitimate.

The Swiss Republic?  The Venetian Republic?

Did the Windsors ever conquer France?

Quite the opposite, they prevented its conquest.
