Louis ruled France in place of his older brother King Charles VI who suffered periodic bouts of insanity. Even though the self serving Louis is helping himself to the French treasury and is a vain, corrupt man that France is probably better off without, his slaughter on the streets of Paris one dark night will have long lasting effects. The highest ranking law enforcement official in France, Guillaum I really enjoyed reading Jager's wonderful account of the murder of Louis, Duke of Orleans. The highest ranking law enforcement official in France, Guillaume de Tignonville, Provost of Paris leads the investigation into the Duke's murder and soon finds himself in a no win situation when Blood Royal the evidence points to an extremely powerful person serving on the French royal council. He stands to not only lose his position but his very life if he crosses this very powerful man. Sadly, he will not escape unscathed by solving this murder. A scroll discovered 2 centuries later detailing de Tignonville's official investigation is the basis of this book and gives fascinating insight into exactly what happened that dark night in as well as details about the daily life of ordinary Parisians who witnessed the murder and the privileged life of the at Court. The events that transpired after Louis's murder are disastrous to France as Louis's heirs seek vengeance against his murderer eventually leading to full blown civil war. King Henry V of England doesn't need much encouragement to take advantage of the situation in France and renews the Hundred Years War with great success. Henry V marries mad King Charles VI Catherine d'Valois and the offspring of that union, Blood Royal VI, unfortunately inherits his grandfather's insanity which will eventually Blood Royal to the Wars of the Roses as civil war breaks out in England. I gave this book 5 stars and highly recommend this book to anyone interested in how a murder investigation was conducted so many years ago by the resourceful Provost Guillaume d'Tignonville.

Devotees of microhistory may find quite a lot to like about late-medieval Paris and its inhabitants early on, before Great Men hijack the narrative about halfway through. Some might even find it eerily topical: a prominent, assiduous chief investigator loses his job and falls victim to winds of political change higher up— though no FBI director has ever had to kiss the lips of a corpse, taken down from the gibbet after several months dangling there at least not yet. Scholarly readers are bound to be impressed at the extraordinary amount of detail the author has managed to tease out of centuries-old sources. Readers can wander widely, down streets and alleys, exploring ancient buildings, eavesdropping and spying on bakers and basket makers. All the detail, having Blood Royal or not so Blood Royal to do with murder, will likely try the patience of readers interested chiefly in whodunit. As in real- life criminal investigation, repetition abounds: the author first uses witness testimony Blood Royal reconstruct the crime, then becomes a fly on the Blood Royal as the prosecutor interrogates witnesses to it. Guillaume, had almost unlimited power since he was the chief law enforcement officer, and it he who solves the crime of the murder of Louis of Orleans. Solved it in a very short Blood Royal of time. Much of this is fascinating 3. Much of this is fascinating reading, the techniques used, the politics of the 's and the madness of the king. It is a mystery, historical, political and social Blood Royal, written clearly and concisely. It includes lengthy notes and sources and pictures of the past and even a present picture of where the crime was committed. A good read for those interested in history and true crime. View 1 comment. This is my year to Blood Royal my foray into French history. Thank you Kaethe for suggesting this as a buddy read. The story involves the murder of Louis Blood Royal Orleans, brother of King Charles. Murdering a royal would be bad enough, but in this case there was a larger problem. The King suffered episodes of madness and during those episodes Louis served in his stead as . This history brings together remaining documents of the inquiry into the crime, after setting up the situation in Paris ofan This is my year to begin my foray into French history. This history brings together remaining documents of the inquiry into the crime, after setting up the situation in Paris ofand then shows the fallout in the subsequent years among various royals and nobles. They were a very dysfunctional lot. The first section Blood Royal the book deals with the crime, inquiry and solution, while the balance deals with the Civil War that gradually erupted, boiled over and resulted in innumerable deaths throughout France in succeeding years. Now I want Blood Royal know more. The Provost of Paris was in charge of the inquiry: As a knight, a courtier, and Blood Royal diplomat, Guillaume may have been thoroughly a man of his age. But in his police work, he seems to have been rather ahead of his time. For those who are history majors with a strong background in Blood Royal history, this will be "old hat". For others, with an interest in history, I recommend this book. It reads quite easily, provides a "you are there" quality with recreated depositions from archived copies taken by Guillaume de Blood Royal and his men, and then provides a further history of a disrupted time in the kingdom of France.

Louis, the brother of the king, his murder inand the various repercussions for all the players cited in Tignonville's first hand report inscribed on a piece of parchment- just stunning. Startling in the duplicity, in the Justification process Blood Royal followed, in all the fall outs for both sides within the Provost's future and role, and within the houses of royals themselves. Couple this with English King Henry V's direct course to take full advantage of the large cracks of void and crisis across the channel. Sacred Bleu! This leaves no detail of cudgel or carpenter's plane symbols on each Duke's livery or physical reality of this Paris where the law in court and out is itself completely relative to who you are. Even unto separate forums. Clergy, student? You are tried only through the University with a separate Blood Royal and interpretation. Conspiracy, crime, and a brilliant and diplomatic detective who gets his man. But, mon dieu, this man is a fish too large to land. Will it drag him to the water's depths regardless of his being pulled completely from the boat? Details in this book are unsurpassed?

A royal descent is a genealogical Blood Royal of descent from a past or present . Both geneticists and genealogists have attempted to estimate the percentage of living people with royal descent. From a genetic perspective, the number of unprovable descendants must be virtually unlimited if going back enough generations, according to coalescent theoryas the possibility increases exponentially following every century back in time. In other words, the number of descendants from a monarch increases as a function of the length of time between the monarch's death and the birth of the particular descendant. As for descendants of genealogical documented lineages, various estimated figures have been proposed. For instance, Mark Humphrys, a professor of computer science at Dublin City University Blood Royal Irelandand enthusiast, estimated the people of provable genealogical ancestry from medieval monarchs to millions. In any case, the percentage of genealogical descendants are bound to increase with time; not only with every new Blood Royal but also Blood Royal to more extensive combination of individual efforts in genealogy softwareincluding international services available online. In genealogy, royal descent is sometimes claimed as a mark of distinction and is seen as a desirable goal. However, due to the incompleteness and varying uncertainty of existing records, the number of people who do claim royal descent tend to be higher than the Blood Royal who can actually prove it. Logically, for every royal in a person's tree, there are bound to be virtually an unlimited number of undocumented individuals whose births, deaths and lives went completely unrecorded by history. From a genetic, scientific perspective, it is theoretically true that "statistically, most of the inhabitants of Blood Royal probably descended from William the Conqueror ; they are equally likely to be descended from the Blood Royal who groomed his charger. There has been a long tradition for royalty Blood Royal to intermarry those of their own class. Through , some researchers have even speculated on descent from antiquity. The practice of restrictive has been noted as increasing over the years until the 20th century: the passage of time strengthened the conviction that royalty only allied with royalty, and from the 16th century marriages between royal Blood Royal commoner became rarer and rarer. This is one reason why descent from more recent monarchs is rarer amongst commoners than from monarchs further back. Members of untitled today may be descended from illegitimate children of royalty Blood Royal primogenitors. Since illegitimate children of royalty were seldom permitted to marry into other royal Blood Royal because of their unacceptable status, these children tended to marry upper-class or middle-class families from their own country. At one time, Blood Royal on this matter stressed royal connections for only a few families. One example included James Pierpont and others.

William Addams Reitwiesner documented many U. Some Americans may have royal descents through German immigrants who had an illegitimate descent from German royalty. Due to primogenituremany colonists of high social status were children of English aristocratic families who came to America looking for land because, since given their birth order they could not inherit. Many of these immigrants initially enjoyed high standing where they settled. They could often claim royal descent through a female line or illegitimate descent. Some Americans descend from these Blood Royal British colonists who had royal descent. There were at Blood Royal colonists with traceable royal ancestry, [12] [13] and of them left descendants in America almost always numbering many thousands, and some as many as one million. Blood Royal one writer observed, Blood Royal a tangle of Blood Royal hooks". Blood Royal time, opposing factors have affected the percentage of Americans who have provable royal descent. The passage of the generations has further intermingled the ancestry of the English colonists' descendants, thus increasing the percentage who descend from one of Blood Royal immigrants with royal ancestry. At the same time, however, waves of post-colonial immigrants from other countries decreased the percentage who have royal descent. Royal descent plays an Blood Royal role in many African societies; authority and property tend to be lineally derived. Among tribes which recognize a Blood Royal ruler, the hereditary blood line of the rulers who early European travelers described as kings, queens, , etc. The royal blood is among the centralized Blood Royal of all blood groups. Many Asian and Oceanic or Pacifican cultures or civilizations have a veneration for royal descents. Many Muslims revere descents from Aliand his -in-law, .

Royal descent is easier to prove than descent from less historically documented ancestors, since and public records are typically fuller, better known and preserved in the case of royal descent than in the case of descent from less noted individuals. Typically, it is only since the 20th century that family history has been an interest pursued by people outside the upper classes.

He gave up the exercise after publishing the names of about 40, living Blood Royal, but his own estimate was that the total of those of royal descent who could Blood Royal proved and named if he completed his work at that time waspeople.
