de geadopteerde kinderen v lodewijk de 16de
Er was naar het schijnt een zwartje bij :-):-), Jean Amilcar een Senegalees slaafje dat de revolutie jammer genoeg niet overleefde...... Niet dat het veel zou uitgemaakt hebben vermits het plebs dat niet als een echte Fransman beschouwde, men jakkerde zelfs de king buiten dus tja.......

Citaat:
In addition to his biological children, Louis XVI also adopted four children: "Armand" Francois-Michel Gagné (c. 1771-1792), a poor orphan adopted in 1776; Jean Amilcar (c. 1781-1793), a Senegalese slave boy given to the queen as a present by Chevalier de Boufflers in 1787, but whom she instead had freed, baptized, adopted and placed in a pension; Ernestine Lambriquet (1778-1813), daughter of two servants at the palace, who was raised as the playmate of his daughter and whom he adopted after the death of her mother in 1788; and finally "Zoe" Jeanne Louise Victoire (born in 1787), who was adopted in 1790 along with her two older sisters when her parents, an usher and his wife in service of the king, had died.[21]
Of these, only Armand, Ernestine and Zoe actually lived with the royal family: Jean Amilcar, along with the elder siblings of Zoe and Armand who were also formally foster children of the royal couple, simply lived on the queen's expense until her imprisonment, which proved fatal for at least Amilcar, as he was evicted from the boarding school when the fee was no longer paid, and reportedly starved to death on the street.[21] Armand and Zoe had a position which was more similar to that of Ernestine: Armand lived at court with the king and queen until he left them at the outbreak of the revolution because of his republican sympathies, and Zoe was chosen to be the playmate of the Dauphin, just as Ernestine had once been selected as the playmate of Marie-Therese, and sent away to her sisters in a convent boarding school before the Flight to Varennes in 1791.[21]

Om maar te zeggen dat begoede mensen het goed voorhebben met 'vreemden' (toch Louis XVI & Marie-Anotionette), het plebs daarentegen, ik kan me niet inbeelden dat een vlaamse boer een 'neger' zou toelaten in de familie ;-);-) |
