Thank you so much, my dear readers, for helping me to continue my historical studies and to finance this website by purchasing my books. By the way, you can buy my books worldwide through Amazon, for example in Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, the USA, Australia, and Japan. The photo above was taken in 1970. History has always been my great passion.
"In December 1495 Charles [Karl VIII. von Frankreich] received a much worse piece of news. His three-year-old son [Karl-Orlando] had died from measles. Charles Orland had been a strong, healthy child, about whom Commynes commented: “He was bold in his speech and he was not afraid of things that other children usually fear.” The queen's [Anna de Bretagne] grief was very bitter and long, so much as her husband became concerned about her health. He tried to bring her out of her melancholy by throwing a ball for her. Among those attending was Louis of Orléans [der zukünftige französische König Ludwig XII.], whose cheerful demeanor deeply offended Anne. She took his good mood as a display of pleasure at being once more first in the line of succession because of her son's death. As a result she would not speak to him for a long time." (in: Frederic J. Baumgartner: Louis XII, New York 1996, p. 49).
