And the papacy, passing into the hands of a succession of infamous popes, the paramours and bastard sons of two shameless women, bade fair to lose all moral influence in Europe.

At this time, 888-912, there were two kingdoms of Burgundy, one, Transjurain, consisting of North Savoy and all Switzerland between the Reuss and the Jura, then under one king named Rudolf, and two, Cisjurain Burgundy, consisting of Provence, Dauphiné, the south of Savoy, and the country between the Saône and the Jura, afterwards called the County of Burgundy or Franche-Comté.

This kingdom, founded by Bozo of Provence in 879, was then in the hands of his son Louis of Provence, 887-928, who after gaining the country west of the Rhone and most of Languedoc, had aspired to the dangerous bauble of the empire.

He was half blinded by his rival Berengar and returned home to live in retirement till his death.

His dominions soon after passing with the exception of Dauphiné to his more successful neighbor and under Rudolf II became the kingdom of Arles.

Footnote.

These two kingdoms of Transjurain and Cisjurain Burgundy, which subsequently belonged to the empire, must not be confounded with the Duchy of Burgundy, formed of the country round Dijon, east of the river Saône, which always belonged to France.

Burgundy had been too long regarded a fief of the kingdom of Paris for this to be overlooked, and Robert, gaining material assistance from Richard, asserted his claim to the fief in 1003.

I lived in the time of the Emperor.

So, but what does it matter? Henri Beale was born in seventeen eighty-three in Grenoble, in Dauphiné, the son of a royalist lawyer situated on the borderland between the gentry and that bourgeoisie which our author was subsequently to chastise with that malice peculiar to those who spring themselves from the class which they despise.

The boy's character was a compound of sensibility and hard rebelliousness, virility and introspection.

Orphaned of his mother at the age of seven, hated by his father and unpopular with his schoolmates, he spent the orthodox unhappy childhood of the autistic temperament.

They have no candles, and they burn resinous sticks and bits of rope dipped in pitch.

This is the state of affairs throughout the whole of the hilly country of Dauphine.

They make bread for six months at one time.

They bake it with dried cow dung.

He said, En bé, moussu c'est sage, as in lower Langueduc.

En té anaras passa, as in Basse-Alpes.

Puerté un bonun mouto en bé un bonun fromage grass, as in upper Dauphine.

This pleased the people extremely, and contributed not a little to win him access to all spirits.

Les bombes de terre.

As for the ware, it originated and was named in the Dauphiné Alps.

And this is in the southeastern part of France.

And as you already know, this was enjoyed by the peasants.

So the reason why we have such a specific date in history for the naming of Groton-Dauphinois.

The reason for the banquet was political.

It was a peace offering to the nobles of Dauphiné.

This period in time lines up with the French Revolution and the Daphné region was the centerpiece for the friction.

The origin of this custom was this.

About a hundred years before the time of which we are speaking, a certain nobleman of high rank who possessed estates in an ancient province of France called Dauphiny, lost his son and heir.

He was overwhelmed with affliction at the loss, and finally bequeathed all his estates to the king and his successors, on condition that the oldest son should bear the title of Dauphin.

The grant was accepted, and the oldest son was accordingly so styled from that time forward, from generation to generation.

But it may be difficult to conceive an accurate idea from the mere name of the popular French faye or fairies of the twelfth century.

That to relieve Vienna in 1918 is a careful reproduction of Marlborough's march to Blenheim, which was the sole precedent that lay before our author for an operation extending over such a vast stretch of country the movements about lyons and clermont ending in the battle of espalion pages seventy five to seventy nine will all bear careful verification both for the roads traversed and for the time taken but there can be no doubt that in some of the campaigns the limit of days allowed for long and complicated operations is too small George VI contrives to move with a rapidity that would have astonished Napoleon himself.

Having, for example, won the Battle of Espaleon on June 23, 1920, it is quite impossible that he should have cleared the French out of Languedoc, Guyenne, Gascony, Provence, and Dauphine, and occupied Paris by the 24th of July.

Our author states that he met practically no opposition in subduing the southern provinces.

But as we are told that the King of France was waiting before him with an unbeaten army of some 80,000 men during the latter part of these operations, it is certain that such incredible speed could not have been reached.
