Re: Coming-The Betrayal of the Duchess

"She commanded a guerilla army" is clearly inflated. She landed, found out that not so many Chouans were ready to fight for her, and tried to escape the police.
The cousin branch in power ridiculed her as a woman adventurer, far from the dignity expected of a french queen.
The resulting bitter opposition will be one of the cause hindering ultracatholic legitimist and business minded parlementarist to unite against the return of the Republic in 1871, despite their majority in Assemblée.
