Pretty much all the sources I've read that talk about Brount's origins say that when he went back to Arras, one of his supporters gave him Brount (then a puppy), and that he then took him back with him to Paris.
XD! That's rather ridiculously sweet. Robespierre got rewarded in puppies.
Not quite middle aged, but I think he'd work even better. For obvious reasons
I kind of started having a go here (http://maelipstick.livejournal.com/151230.html#cutid1) although for some reason I changed Hillary's name. There's no Brount though.
I think she'd have to contort her narrative to the point of absolute ridiculousness to have Couthon's wife rape Danton on at least two separate occasions.
*snorts tea at screen* Poor Danton. So abused and yet we never knew.
It's a truly quizzical phenomenon that people should be so quick to identify with royals and their ways of operating.
Well, they do get all the good PR at least in Western Anglophone countries. Plus they had nice dresses. And they're always good for a "free spirit oppressed by stuffy snobby court rules" romances.
You would think that non-royals would find them inherently suspicious, but go figure.
Or at the very least question if the stuffy court was oppressing free spirited princesses, what the heck was it doing to everybody else.
