Karl Martin Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Karl Martin von Hohenzollern-Bourbon A somewhat shadowy man, he has come from almost nowhere to obtain the three major crowns of the the Land of the Franks. Son of Georg Friedrich Ferdinand von Hohenzollern, the legitimate heir to the throne of Prussia, and also the adopted son of Henri VII of France, he is the sole heir to the bloodline of the former great houses of Europe. With his retirement from Emperor of France, the estates has been reorganized, to prepare for his residence. With everything finished, the estates shall for the most part be open to the public. Allow us, the keepers of the realms, to introduce you to the most beautiful palaces and castles of Europe.

Zoot Zoot Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Emperor Bonaparte laughs at these claims of royalty. The only Bourbon Heirs the remain live in Brittany. Your claim to the Imperial throne of france is laughable, what with your German name. There is no Prussia you fool, ergo, you cannot be the legitimate heir to its throne.

Karl Martin Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) 1. Palast des Rheins [center][img]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/6628/palaisrhinstrasbourg436.jpg[/img][/center] The main residence of His Majesty, the Palace of the Rhine is situated in the German section (north-east) of Straßburg, dominating the Kaiserplatz with its massive dome. A huge building in itself, it constitutes, with the ample gardens that surround it as well as the stables next to it, one of the largest fully preserved landmarks of old Prussian architecture. [center][img]http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5522/palaisdurhin.jpg[/img][/center] The palace was chosen as the main residence due to its location. His Majesty, although of pure German blood, was born in France, to which his father had moved to after violence overtook Germany many years ago. The palace, the sign of German and French unity, is the perfect symbolic palce to express both the French and German heritages of His Majesty. *Official Reply to Emperor Bonaparte* If you are referring to the "Louis" of Brittany, we are sorry to reply that he could not be a member of the French Family. According to the Legitimist line of succession, those with the name of Louis all live in either Luxembourg (the von Luxembourg family) or Italy (of the Two Sicilies). All of them have abandoned the claim to the French throne, making the end of the Legitimist. In the case of the Orléanist line, the head is Henri VII, and since Charles XI (more commonly called Karl) is his adopted son, there can be no Louis. Any attempt by Brittany to ursup the throne of France can be disproven. On Prussia: Deutschland, the successor to Prussia, has accepted His Majesty as King of Prussia. Is there anything else that needs to be said? OOC: Ignorance of royal lines of succession is not an excuse to pull someone out of thin air. Here are some links you might want to see about the French Royal Family Line of Succession http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_succession_to_the_French_throne_(Legitimist) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_succession_to_the_French_throne_(Orl%C3%A9anist) Edited April 16, 2010 by Karl Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Martens Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 "Prussia still exists as one of the Länder of Germany. This man has a rightful claim to the throne, however, the Government does not accept that the Throne itself may have any authority. He is the King, but does not rule and even his household is still a part of Germany. But Kings are to be respected, due to tradition. For that, we gave him these pieces of heaven. What is so laughable about a German to claim the throne of France? If in the end, the Kingdom of France was founded by a German, and France is named after the Franks, a Germanic tribe, that is not to say that Germany even used to be Eastern Francia long ago..."

In the GDR, all castles and palaces are open to the public since the Emperor's abdication and kept in great condition via the money made by tourists and visitors coming to see them. There's literally hundreds of them, and while we appreciate some of the things that have been done by those ruling from these, the nobles, Kings and Emperors also have done some terrible things. We remember them to learn from them. Not to cling onto the memory of a man in fancy clothing and with a shiny hat ruling us all." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
