CESARE BORGIA + dragging his brother around "You have a priest for a brother?."

#cringefail bros my beloveds #francois and david had such an electrifying chemistry #they became close instantly the first day on the borgias set. bonding over the godfather and all #till this day they're still interacting on instagram being goofy and david even invited francois to his podcast #juan's brattiness balances with cesare's leadership so damn well hello??? best brothers ever i'm sorry #it's the way they desperately tried to replace juan with alfonso in season 3 but they failed dramatically #he had nooooone of juan's charisma and devilish charm #they tried to parallel the scene where juan and cesare were sparring with swords to the one with cesare and alfonso's... #...yet again they failed dramatically. “did you ever love your brother?” “ i did! mightily.” was the only valid moment between them LMAOOOO #françois saying that he loves juan and cesare moments because they had “loving brotherly undertone under all of cesare's hard teaching" #yeah <3 #david oakes #juan borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #perioddramaedit #francois arnaud #cesare borgia #juan and cesare #by jen

Jean- David Nau aka François l'Olonnais - the horrible Buccaneer

Jean-David Nau (c. 1635?- 1670?), known as François l'Olonnais or Fleau des Espagnoles, was considered as one of the most terrible Buccaneers of the 17th century.

Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin ( Exquemelin came to the islands as an indentured servant. From his last master, he learned the skills of a surgeon and later sailed with Henry Morgan), whose book De Americaensche Zee-Rovers, published in 1678, is one of the most important source works on the history of piracy in the Caribbean, describes in the second part of his book the life of L'Olonnais, who was born in the harbour town of Les Sables-d'Olonne in the Bas-Poitou on the French Atlantic coast of unknown date but presumably around 1635, and is regarded as the source for him and his work, but what actually happened should be regarded with caution, even though his statements may well be more trustworthy than others.

François l'Olonnais (x)

After L'Olonnais had come to the Caribbean as an indentured servant at a young age and served his time, he came to the island of Hispaniola and after some time to the Buccaneers and became one of their leaders.

His  apparently psychopathic character revealed itself on numerous occasions in the years that followed. When it came to obtaining information of any kind, he personally committed acts of bestial cruelty. One of his "preferences" was to hack his victims to pieces alive with a sabre or loveed it  to burn his victims or cut out their tongues or hearts.

He received his first command from the governor of Tortuga, Monsieur de la Place. After some time, l'Olonnais was shipwrecked near Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico. A group of Spanish soldiers attacked him and his crew, killing almost the entire crew. L'Olonnais himself survived by smearing himself with the blood of the others and hiding among the dead. After the Spaniards left, he escaped with the help of some slaves and set off in a boat for Tortuga, where he obtained another boat by trickery. Shortly afterwards, he and his crew took the inhabitants of a small town on the north coast of Cuba hostage and demanded a ransom from the Spanish crown. The governor of Havana sent a ship to kill l'Olonnais' troop. However, the ship fell into the hands of the pirates. L'Olonnais had all but one of the crew beheaded. The man who was spared was to bring a message to Havana in which l'Olonnais declared that from now on he would show no mercy to any Spaniard.

In 1667, l'Olonnais set sail from Tortuga with a fleet of eight ships and a crew of 1,600 pirates to plunder Maracaibo. On the way there, he encountered a Spanish treasure ship off Hispaniola, which he successfully captured. In the process, he brought in rich booty of cocoa, precious stones and more than 40,000 pesos in silver. A second Spanish ship fell into his hands without a fight, along with ammunition, gun powder and 12,000 pesos.

At that time, access from the Gulf of Venezuela to the lake of Maracaibo (and thus to the city itself) was secured by a fortress with 16 cannons. However, L'Olonnais attacked the fortress from the unfortified land side and captured the city. The pirates then proceeded to loot the town, but found that most of the inhabitants had fled and hidden their gold. The pirates tracked down the inhabitants and tortured them until they revealed the hiding places of their possessions. For weeks, the pirates raped, tortured and harassed the townspeople. They removed the cannons from the fortress and destroyed almost the entire city fortifications to allow for a quick retreat. The pirates then turned south towards the village of Gibraltar (Zulia), on the southern shore of Lake Maracaibo, to plunder it too, because many of the town's inhabitants had fled there with their goods.

Although the pirates were outnumbered, they overpowered the garrison of Gibraltar, which is said to have consisted of around 500 soldiers, plundered the village and retreated back to Maracaibo. They demanded a ransom of 20,000 silver pesos and 500 cows and oxen for their departure. In total, they brought 260,000 silver pesos, precious stones, silverware, silk fabrics and a number of slaves in this raid, which they divided among themselves. The damage done in this way was so great that the city, which had previously been a major centre for the export of cocoa, almost ceased to exist.

Word of his attack on Maracaibo and Gibraltar reached Tortuga, and he was henceforth nicknamed "Plage des Spaniers" (French: Fléau des Espagnols). This made it easier for him to recruit participants for his next foray, and so later that year 700 pirates took part in his next attack on the Central American mainland. They headed for the coast of Nicaragua with Cabo Gracias a Dios, but drifted with the current into the Gulf of Honduras when there was no wind. After plundering Puerto Cavallo, l'Olonnais was ambushed by a large number of Spanish soldiers on the way to San Pedro, from which he narrowly escaped. He was, however, able to take some Spaniards prisoner. Exquemelin writes of this:

   "He drew his sabre, and with it he cut open the breast of one of these poor Spaniards, and pulling out its heart with his blasphemous hands, bit and tore at it with his teeth, like a wild wolf, and said to the others: I will treat you likewise, if you show me no other way."

In fear of their lives, the surviving Spaniards showed him another way to San Pedro. However, L'Olonnais and his surviving men were repulsed and had to retreat to the ships. In the Gulf of Honduras, they ran onto a sandbank. Unable to get their ship free, they carpentered a new one from the remains, and eventually fell into the hands of the native population in the Gulf of Darién around 1670. Exquemelin writes that:

   "they tore him to pieces alive, threw his body limb by limb into the fire, and his ashes into the air."

The seemingly fitting end for such a bestial man.

La Quête de l'oiseau du temps - Avant la Quête de Serge Le Tendre et Régis Loisel

En attendant le dernier tome du cycle Avant la Quête de La Quête de l'oiseau du temps, je viens de dévorer les 7 premiers. Un vrai bonheur que je n'avais pas ressenti en les lisant la première fois au fil de leur parution. Bragon est un fermier qui n'aspire qu'à une vie d'aventure. Il va réussir à devenir chevalier.  Il devient le servant de la princesse-sorcière Mara qui semble être la seule en mesure de stopper l'implacable progression de la Secte du Signe. Bien qu'amoureux l'un de l'autre, les obstacles à leur union ne cessent de s'accumuler. Régis Loisel a rejoint Serge Le Tendre pour le scenario, passant la main pour les dessins à Lidwine, Mohamed Aouamri,  Vincent Mallié, et David Etien. Sans oublier l'aide de Bruno Tatti, François Lapierre, et Annie Richard pour les couleurs. Découvrir
