The Lost King of France: a True Story of Revolution, Revenge, And Dna
““This is a revolt?” asked the King, hearing of the fall of the Bastille.
“No, sire, it is a Revolution” came the reply.
At Versailles, Louis-Charles, Duc de Normandie, lived a charmed life, well protected from the “trifling disturbances”—as they were sometimes known at court—beyond the palace gates. In the royal nursery, under the sensitive administration of the Governess of the Children of France, the Duchesse de Polignac, his little empire was well endowed with servants. Apart from Cécile, hi...s wet nurse, there was a cradle rocker, Madame Rambaud, and his personal rocker, Madame Rousseau, otherwise known as Rocker to the Children of France, whose sister, Madame Campan, worked in the queen’s household. Valets were appointed, such as Hanet Cléry, a particularly loyal and discreet servant who had been in service to the royal family since 1782. In addition, the Duc de Normandie had two room boys, four ushers, a porter, a silver cleaner, a laundress, a hairdresser, two First Chamber Women, eight Ordinary Women and a periphery of minor staff all vying for importance.MoreLess
