[QUOTE="Fid, post: 430810, member: 7724"]before more precious "Hirnschmalz" (noodles) get lost, please allow me a few remarks. There was no Henri V and there was no Comte de Massiac. Henri d'Artois or "de Chambord" was a theoretical pretender to the throne. as were many others - to this day. at the moment there are two main pretenders - Henri Philippe Pierre Marie d’Orléans as Henri VII. and Louis Alphonse Gonzalve Victor Emmanuel Marc de Bourbon, duc d’Anjou. and another few jokers from other lines... they lived and live in a parallel universe, being addressed and addressing each other by useless titles and giving others titles that are - you guess it - complete BS as well. same here with the Comte de Massiac; that could have been the mayor or the swineherd of the countryside that supported the royal cause. the different forms of the long s will stay a problem as long as the books, documents etc. will be scanned by companies that have no historical interest and knowledge. even in English there are a few letters that are not used anymore, [I]ð [/I]etc. and simply replaced by sensless cribbles. to the value of such items. they get lower and lower even in France. the circles that may be interested mostly consist of "vegetables" that don't know what the internet is. best would be to send a mail with sharp, clear pics to Drouot in Paris and ask if there is any interest.[/QUOTE]
