it is complete
🌌🦢❤️‍🔥
closeups:
Tumblr media
cityscape is just some city/building and window brushes i downloaded a little while ago which are def handy.... I was more worried about the aurora coming out nice but it turned out well!! maybe a little hypersaturated but eh
Tumblr media
dancing! reffed from a couple videos of swan lake. it’s about 40 minutes in, and i’ve seen it called the act 2 pas de deux but the song at that scene is “Act II No. 13 Dances of the Swans: V. Pas d'Action.” so... That. 
haha okay wait it’s “Act II, No. 13,  Danses des Cygnes: V. Pas d'action (Odette et le Prince)” if you want to be REALLY specific lmao
Tumblr media
normal lighting, in my head the moon is like a stage light kind of thing so it’s got the moon in front of it and the light is glowing out from behind it... you know, stage magic stuff.
Tumblr media
power surge, extra bright spotlight and everything else—so, washed out lol
Tumblr media
here the lights are dimming but not out, so there’s still a little bit of glow and spotlight
Tumblr media
and power out! i almost just made this panel totally black but i had this mental image of the ghostly white of the swan’s costume so i kept some color. and Casey is obviously surprised by the lights going out (and so is the orchestra)
Tumblr media
closeup of Casey. being worried. Cause first was the surprise of the lights going out but also Seth here has passed the fuck out along with the lights, and dropped like a dead weight instead of the graceful trust fall in this scene of Swan Lake, which is noticeable because they weigh like 180 lbs, so, you know, prince charming here is like “wtf”
Originally the idea was just that the aurora in the background is a kind of... uh... like a double exposure you know, it’s not really there over the stage, but trying to use the dark plain colors of the pitch black stage didn’t really look very good to me, so I lit them as if the aurora were there (it’s still not though)... Metaphorical lighting lol. 
If i drew more pages of the rest of the scene, which mostly involves people being confused and some flashlights, and Casey carrying Seth backstage, the rest would probably just be mostly black and some silhouettes and emergency lights and so on but I’m sure as hell not drawing the rest of the scene or the scene that follows it—which is like a dream/vision/whatever Seth has while they are................... “unconscious.” (temporarily dead)
Tumblr media
anyway here’s Seth lit by the red aurora too
this spread took me like... a couple of days’ worth of work over a week or two... i didn’t actually time it though so who knows how many hours. definitely more than 8 lmao

*moi quand je me plains du Prince Eric* ohbonsang le prosélytisme sur le culte marial c'est une chose mais le ressentiment de l'auteur envers la simple existence des protestants est fatigant à force
*my bestie qui se plaint du Prince Eric en revanche* Je suis en train de lire la mort du prince Éric, il y a une erreur factuelle dans les villes de la ligne ferroviaire Paris Strasbourg, il écrit " Vaires Lagny Torcy Pomponnes" comme si c'était un enchaînement de gares, alors que pomponne et Lagny est c'est la même gare (plus exactement Lagny 15000 habitants a l'époque avait sa gare dans le village a côté de pomponne et Torcy a juste rien à voir avec schmilblic, c'est du mauvais côté de la marne ! (Oui c'est où j'ai fait mon stage)

little steep pitch down from our house – A- nearly unhorsed en descent – our road lay along the little river Chotévi – beautiful narrow wooded valley – not the road we came on Friday – round wooded hills, and combes and picturesque little Swiss-like hamlets and cottages – shingle thin narrow boards roofs weighted down with stones – at 9 ½ near a little village Tcheneghèle Dubois ii. 379 (derivna) pass little round lake (right) – no outlet – one of those mentioned by Dubois ii. p. 379 – and soon after little church (right) hid among trees – and at 9 57/.. alight at the church (monastère) of Nikortsminda, and stood examining the exterior comparing it with Dubois’s description ii. 383 et seq; till 10 52/.. – ii. 384 line 4. la porte d’entrée must mean north side (because East end and South side p. 384, and East end p. 386 are well described -) porch accolée at west end, and on north and south side, and handsome great entrance door south and west but not north – in this north porch only a little plain door (porte derobée) on the West side the porch that cannot be called la porte d’entrée – north side of church plain – no sculpture – nothing but the 3 fausses arcades – East end aux 2 côtés d’un bas relief représentant 3 sains dresses sur les tètes de 3 autres figures à genoux are 2 figures on horseback – right (south side of choeur) St. George running along  holding bridle in left hand and with right spear (with Cross at top) into separates tails, a rose (or marigold) on each side of his head – left (north side of choeur) no rose on each side the [?] head – only top of crosswise spear seen above neck of horse which is trampling upon a man in armour .:. this figure is some [?] then St. George? “la façade du midi” is well described – “Grande main à doigts replies” I should simply say the hand quite open all the fingers close together and the thumb close alongside forefinger – p. 385. “sur la porte du vestibule accolé à cette façade” (i.e. South) the inside door – the door opening into the church and 4 angles instead of only 2 – the rest of the description of this porch good – of the cross supported by the 4 angles, 2 at bottom 2 at top, each arm ends in a fleur de lis p. 385 church dates from end of 11th century
how common a symbol! the equivalent of the lotus? – description of west end good – beautiful church – mouldings and arabesques beautiful and rich – off from the Glacière at 10 53/.. – ii. 379 et seq. beautiful ride – latterly nice little road thro’ a thick wood along hill side (could see nothing – no paroi de rochers à pic) nothing till close upon the glacière – left our horses in the wood about 200 or 300 yards from the place at 11 23/.. and got down thro’ the thick wood in 10 minutes – the steep descent slippery from [for] the great deal of rain lately –the “immense portail” may be 70ft. French wide and 40 high – it is a little
SH:7/ML/E/24/0150
Vaucluse in point of grotte, but the muddy not deep (they said) water in a sort of funnel at the bottom – the glacière a little bit of dirty yellow muddy looking ice at the mouth of a hole (one of the inlets) just over the water (3 or 4 inlets and 2 or 3 very small ones in times of flood) and no river or stream or appearance of there ever being any from the grotto – the moveable talus (shingle – small fragments of limestone) is down into the grotto and down to the top of this talus is a wooded circular enforcement – the place is interesting enough but not much for a painter – too shut in with wood – nothing to be seen till you are at the cavern and then merely the great mouth of the cavern – Adam brought away 2 nice pieces of ices which we wrapped in moss and contrived to bring home to ice our wine (bought a bottle on our return) after dinner – 23 minutes at the glacière and came away at 11 56/.. – I went to the bottom A- did not – tired – weakened by her bowel complaint – resting 2 or 3 times in scrambling up to the horses – remounted at 12 17/.. – ascend the hill, and continue our ride thro’ a wood up and down hill beautiful ride till about 12 ¾ come down up very fine cavern, like Castleton cave – fine elliptical lofty arch festooned with overhanging beech and ivy and a bit or 2 of yew – wider span than the glacière – and fine broad clear stream issuing from deep diminishing vault back of cavern – fine circular sweep of calcareous wooded rock à pic (oak, beech etc. firs on the high tops hereabouts) arid winding babbling river – very fine bit of scenery much finer than the glacier – a minute or 2 farther another fine cavern but much smaller than the last on left, [pouring] entrance pave with moss covered masses of rock – 2 fir trees (12 yards long) thrown across the stream 10 or 15 yards from the caverns’ mouth,  by which one crosses to good path (narrow horse road) (left bank of the united streams close above the river) leading the monastery of Oodabvo (Oudabvo) – hazel box, a little yew, beech spruce fir, common laurel, ivy, elm, brackens, alder and privet and [?] (beautiful) in flower close along the clear excellent stream – off from here at 1 12/.. and at 1 55/.. back at N- at the monastery and left A- to sketch the East end while I took George and Adam and our Kothévi [Kothevi] guide to the perte de la rivière (Chauri. Dubois ii. 381) 2 peals of thunder at 2 25/.. – had passed several little sinkings in and holes and at 2 27/.. at the great perte – a little bar of calcareous rock across the bed of the shallow stream seems to turn it towards a hole under the bank and here the great part of the water quietly slips down no bubbling – no noise – no foam – merely a little yellowish scumminess – another little bar of such rock a yard or 2 farther absorbs the [?] rest of water and from there the bed is now dry – in spring when much water the great perte does not take all – and it is lost in the holes afterwards – more thunder and a shower ¼ hour
as we returned – crossed the river above the bar, and then again some distance below over the dry bed – and back at the monastery at 3 ¼ - the men had not breakfasted – had wine and bread there ¼ hour and our guide to the caverns had got us 9 eggs and brought our ice safe – off again at 3 ½ fair all the way home and came in at 4 35/.. – too late to go farther – ordered the samovar and gave the cuisinier more rice to boil – measured the great walnut tree – 7 yards girth 2ft. from the ground above all the huge roots – divides into 4 great trunks at 6 and at 9ft. from the ground – our prince says there are larger walnut trees even in this neighbourhood and larger about Gori – a pear near Nikortsminda en route to the glacière 3 yards in circumference certainly – did not stop to measure it – but could not be much wrong – rain again at 5 ¼ for ¼ hour and more thunder – dinner our 4 remaining trout (the princess sent us a present of 3 yesterday) and I had rice and cherries – A- had 2 eggs beaten up with wine and 2 fish – bought a bottle of wine – sweetish – tastes a little of the outré but very fair – I had mine iced with ice from the glacière – true – the people of Koutaïs do sometimes send there – for ice – and the Cossack bought us 2 of the little round milk-white cheese – inked over rough draft of journal till 7 25/.. – off alone (A- tired and lai down) at 7 ½ to the old castle – across the fields down to the great road – walked quick – there in ¼ hour – quite a run – the enclosure irregular – following the shape of the isolated projection of hill-rock – rather a long oval – the once lived-in-part a high large oval tower with demi-round tower like building accolé within this oval tower – 5 stories high – some remains of 2 or 3 old chimneys – fine view – town of Chotévi in 6 groups on 6 knolls 3 on one side the river 3 on the other – very picturesque – just as I arrived the moon was rising and the mountains were clear for a few minutes – only saw the snow-streaked – could not reach the snow-covered – door into covered way up to entrance door of oval tower about 3ft. 6in. wide and 5ft. and a inch on 2 high – toad-in-a-hole hanging of door and recesses in the walls for a tremendously large bolt or bar – opened to the right on entering from outside – toad hole 6in. diameter bar holes 1ft. high 10in. broad 3ft.+ deep left side and farther than I can reach with my 3ft. umbrella right round chimney accolée close to the door left on entering from outside – 17 minutes there till quite dust – home in 20 minutes at 8 20/.. and found A- just ready to get into bed – beautiful evening – fine day till the rain from 2 ½ to 3 and from 5 ¼ for ¼ hour – had just written so far (stood all the time) at 10 55/.. at which hour F17 ½° and F71°+ -

La porte d’entrée must mean north side (because east end and South side page 384, and west end page 386 are well described –) porch accolée at west end, and on north and south side, and handsome great entrance door South and west but not north – in this north porch only a little plain door (porte derobée) on the west side the porch that cannot be called la porte d’entrée – north side of church plain – no sculpture – nothing but the 3 fausses arcades – East end aux 2 côtés d’un bas relief representant 3 saints dressés sur les têtes de 3 autres figures à genoux are 2 figures on horseback – right (South side of choeur) St. George holding bridle in left hand and with right running a long spear (with cross at top) into serpents tail, a rose (or marigold) on each side of his head – left (north side of choeur) no rose on each side the man’s head – only top of crosswise spear seen above neck of horse which is trampling upon a man in armour therefore this figure is some other than St. George? ‘la façade du midi’ is well described – ‘grande main à doigts repliés’ I should simply say the hand quite open all the fingers close together and the thumb close along[s]ide forefinger – page 385 ‘sur la porte du vestibule accolé à cette façade’ (i.e. South) the inside door – the door opening into the church and 4 angels instead of only 2, – the rest of the description of this porch good – of the cross supported by the 34 angels, 2 at bottom 2 at top, each arm ending in a fleur de lis

how common a symbol! the equivalent of the lotus? – description of west end good – beautiful church – the mouldings and arabesques beautiful and rich – off for the glacière at 10 53/.. – ii. 378 et sequentes   beautiful ride – latterly nice little road thro’ a thick wood along hill side could see nothing – no paroi de rochers à pic, nothing till close upon the glacière – left our horses in the wood about 200 or 33 yards from the place at 11 23/.. and got down thro’ the thick wood in 10 minutes – the steep descent slippery from the great deal of rain lately – the ‘immense portail’ maybe 70 feet French wide and 40 high – it is a little Vaucluse in point of grotte, but the muddy not deep (they said) water in a sort of funnel at the bottom – the glacière a little bit of dirty yellow muddy looking ice at the mouth of a hole (one of the inlets) just over the water (3 or 4 inlets and 2 or 3 very small ones in times of flood) and no river or stream or appearance of there ever being any from the grotto – the moveable talus (shingle – small fragments of limestone) is down into the grotto and down to the top of this talus is a wooded circular enfoncement – the place is interesting enough but not much for a painter – too shut in with wood – nothing to be seen till you are at the cavern and then merely the great mouth of the cavern – Adam brought away 2 nice pieces of ices which we wrapped in moss and contrived to bring home to ice our wine (bought a bottle on our return) after dinner – 23 minutes at the glacière and came away at 11 56/.. – I went to the bottom Ann did not – tired – weakened by her bowel complaint – resting 2 or 3 times in scrambling up to the horses – remounted – at 12 17/.. ascend the hill, and continue our ride thro’ a wood up and down hill beautiful ride till about 12 3/4 come down upon very fine cavern, like Castleton cave – fine elliptical lofty arch festooned with overhanging beech and ivy and a bit or 2 of yew – wider span than the glaciere – and fine broad clear stream issuing from deep diminishing

J'ai entendu l'Esprit du Seigneur dire : « Vous êtes au milieu d'une redéfinition de l'église. Regardez ma main sur de nouveaux mouvements mettant l'accent sur de nouvelles plaines de bataille pour l'Ecclésia. Mon église entre dans une ère de militantisme et de confrontation spirituelle. Un nouveau mouvement mondial de prière est sur le point d'émerger. "
J'ai ensuite vu des anges avec des épées tirées libérés sur des missions dans différentes régions. Les mots étaient écrits sur les épées ; guerre spirituelle. Dans leur autre main se trouvait une bouteille d'huile contenant l'onction guerrière mêlée à la révélation nuptiale. J'ai entendu l'Esprit du Seigneur dire : « Ce seront des jours de « sang et de feu », donc mon église doit être prête à faire la guerre dans la prière par l'intercession. J'envoie mes vents et mes ministres du feu travailler avec les saints alors qu'ils déclarent ma parole dans la terre. Pour ceux qui ne me connaissent pas, ce sera un temps de grande tourmente, un temps de sang et de feu. Pour ma Mariée ce sera au moment du grand triomphe, un temps de mon sang et de mon feu. "
On m'a ensuite montré un cheval de guerre blanc et j'ai entendu l'Esprit du Seigneur dire : « Préparez-vous à la manifestation de « guerres » dans le naturel qui atteignent de plus grands sommets dans les jours à venir, ainsi qu'à une augmentation de la guerre dans le royaume de l Ma mariée doit rester dans une position humble à genoux pour gagner du terrain dans l'air. De plus grands affrontements de lumière et d'obscurité sont sur le point d'arriver, mais je vais faire monter ma mariée sur le cheval blanc et elle sautera sur ces jours sombres jusqu'au lieu de la victoire. "
Nous sommes entrés dans un temps de jugements accrus et de gloire du Seigneur dans la terre. Je pouvais voir de grands affrontements de lumière et d'obscurité contrairement à ce que nous avons vécu dans le passé. La plus grande gloire du Seigneur, avec sa présence manifestée, brillera. Beaucoup seront sauvés par les déversements qui vont arriver. Les graines ont été plantées et maintenant la prière produira la pluie pour apporter une grande récolte. De grandes épidémies de renaissance régionale toucheront à travers le pays. Beaucoup vont expérimenter la main manifeste de Dieu. Des signes et des merveilles suivront ceux qui croient. La présence du Seigneur provoquera le salut dans les rues. Dans le même temps, de grandes catastrophes naturelles sont sur le point d'arriver sur la terre ; des glissements de boue, des fléaux, l'augmentation des ouragans, des tremblements de terre importants, des incendies, des sécheresses et des activités volcaniques seront ressenties dans différentes régions comme la terre n'a jamais J'ai vu l'Amérique et j'ai entendu ces mots, "Mayday", "May-Day".
J'ai alors entendu l'Esprit du Seigneur dire : « Pour ceux qui invoquent mon nom, je serai le Prince de Paix dans l'œil de la tempête. "
-Prophète Charlie Shamp

Video
Apr. 24, 1963 - President Kennedy is sending a personal representative to Moscow to urge Premier Khrushchev to help restore peace and stability in Laos. The President announced at his news conference today that W. Averell Harriman, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, would leave London for Moscow tomorrow. The announcement was coupled with a Defense Department disclosure that 3,000 U.S. Army troops will take part in maneuvers in Thailand next month with forces from other Southeast Asia Treaty Organization countries. Last May, the U.S. sent 5,000 infantrymen and marines to Thailand, which borders Laos in the West, to warn the pro-Communist Pathet Lao movement to stop a previous offensive in northwest Laos. Attacks by the pro-Communist Pathet Lao forces this month have driven neutralist troops led by Gen. Kong Le from many positions they held in the strategic Plaine des Jarres in northern Laos. Three weeks of Communist advances have threatened to upset the precarious balance established in Laos by the Geneva truce agreements. The accords, signed by 14 nations last July, set up the present coalition Government of Laos, which includes pro-Communist, neutralist, and Rightist elements under the neutralist Premier, Prince Souvanna Phouma.

Des remous tranquilles
De l'humeur aventurière
Pour sauver Nabuchodonosor
Roi éternel de la magie, du vent et des poussières
Sur son chemin Peter Pan
Lui parle d'abord de sa flotte
Highlander orphelin et désormais
Aux sceaux des Géants
Géant des mers qu'on ne
Rencontre qu'une seule fois
Qu'on retrouve à la Saint Jean
Une trentaine de printemps
Dans le calendrier d'avant
Le feu consume le fer
Et nous conduisent aux Rois des Mers
Partir par la foudre pour arriver
Plus vite
N'avoir que pour dernière volonté
Celle que ce choix reste éternel
Et si c'était le dernier chemin?
Combien faudrait il traverser de plaines et de désert pour atteindre la Mer
Pirate stratège et ambulant
Sur Mer comme sur terre
Loin de chez Lui finalement
Proche de son continent
Continent d'un Prince Caucasien
Aiguilleurs des voyageurs de tout les temps
Visage mythique multiseculaire
Ses yeux du Soleil Filant
Regardent plein de couleurs Yakari
Équidé éternel en son Pan
Écurie de la meilleure Étoile du temps
Magie artistique des Jackson, Mercury, et Bowie
Changement de silhouette, d'apparence, d'ombre et de tête
Heroine esclave de l'Art
Ouvrier de l'artificiel
Les artifices à grandes échelles
Échelles des Géants sur le Naturel
Prince Caucasien
Aux premières loges de Star Wars
Égérie du plateau Disney
Le chapelier aux noces d'Alice
Fin gourmet de Fleet Street
À la recherche du poisson doré
Dans le rêve d'Arizona
Silhouette pléthorique du Royaume d'Hollywood
Comédien multi-facette
Qui se résume aux grimaces et aux gestes...
Ne l'avez vous jamais rencontré par le passé?
De confondre Jack Sparrow
Dans le même Adam Smith
C'est de confondre le Roi des Mers, Prince des Terres en Roi de la Finance, Finance mondiale régie par les flottes Françaises et Anglaises
Et peut être le signal qu'un Homme si semblable puisse incarner Louis XIV sur la route de l'Histoire,
Comme on voit Jack Sparrow déambuler sur la côte, on voit Adam Smith sur les mêmes pas de      Louis XIV..
Finalement quel est le comédien le plus à même de lui ressembler??

À la fin du jour la victoire appartenait au Roi.
L’on vit encore longtemps à l’horizon la cavalerie royale battre la campagne, à grands renforts de lances, pourchasser jusqu’aux forêts les derniers fuyards.
L’armée du Prince débandée, dispersée, se faisait sabrer par lambeaux. Tout au soir les clameurs des combats, les hurlements de la mêlée tournèrent en énorme et lourde plainte.
Puis le silence se fit près de la nuit étouffant tour à tour cris et râles de plus en plus faibles, de plus en plus sourds.
Les légions Scythes, ardentes, rageuses félines au combat, légères au terrain, n’avaient point tenu trois assauts, trois terribles charges des cavaleries posnanes. Elles avaient fondu sous l’ouragan.
De l’autre côté du fleuve l’ombre montait à présent dans la vallée, recouvrant tout. Une énorme houle de clameurs et de râle déferla de nouveau à travers toute la plaine, l’immense agonie d’une armée. Victorieux et vaincus rendaient leurs âmes comme ils pouvaient à grandes souffrances.
Gwendor le Magnifique, grand margrave des Scythes, Prince de Christianie, perdit son sang jusqu’à l’aube. Une lance posnane entrée par le cou lui transperçait le corps, lui saillait du flanc par une énorme blessure. Il râlait ainsi empalé, culbuté, planté en terre. Tous ses preux abattus gisaient autour de lui hoquetants, convulsés en d’horribles grimaces.
 À l’aube la mort fut devant lui.
 « Viens ! C’est l’heure !
– Quelle heure ?
– L’heure du sommeil Gwendor.
– Méprise Ô mort ! Méprise comique ! En vérité ! tu me trompes ! Je suis jeune ! Je n’ai pas l’âge des ténèbres ! Tout est lumière pour moi ! de gloire ! de feu ! de vengeance !
« À moi ? Mort ? À moi cet affront ? L’affront doit être vengé ! Mes armes ! »
Il se débattait encore à grands cris.
« Un jour ! Mort ! Un seul jour ! Rends-moi tout un jour ! Un véritable jour ! Ma gloire, mon honneur ne demandent qu’un seul jour pour tout effacer ! Reprendre mon destin ! Dieu le sait ! Les Princes de mon sang, tu le sais bien aussi, n’ont pas qu’un seul courage ! Qu’une seule vaillance ! Blasphème ! Imposture ! Qu’une seule fortune à leurs armes comme ces vilains en tas, la racaille, les goujats mercenaires ! Les capitaines d’aventures !
« Le moment est mal venu d’être plaisante ! Ils en possèdent vingt, cent, mille fortunes ! Courages en leur valeur ! Dieu le sait ! Tu le sais aussi ! Voleuse ! Mieux que personne !
« Emporte Ô Mort ! Tu dois me faire plaisir, vingt, mille, cent mille de ces goujats, tout à l’entour navrés, là vautrés dans leur trépas ! Emporte-moi cette canaille ! Rends-moi pour le prix de ce marché loyal un jour de vie ! Un seul jour !
« Tu ne veux pas ? Ils t’appartiennent, Je te les donne tous ces vilains !
« Que risques-tu ? Tant d’autres sont là déjà tout gigotant, au seuil des batailles, impatients de leur tour, tout frémissants de l’enthousiasme des charniers ! Ce sera la plus parfaite félicité, le couronnement de tous leurs vœux que tu les emportes tous !
« Ils te désirent comme le petit enfant désire Noël ! Ils te chantent, ils te supplient jour et nuit d’arriver au plus vite ! Te voici ! Je ne t’ai jamais demandé ! Ils vont passer comme à la fête d’une saoulerie de vin dans la bombance de tuerie.
« Tout est magique pour le peuple. Ils s’assassinent dans un rêve. Quel plaisir ils vont ressentir à se donner âmes et boyaux, pour rien, vers rien, en rien. Ils pourrissent déjà les héros si gentiment un peu partout dans cette immensité… Mais laisse-moi… Tu me dois bien cela.
« Un jour… deux jours… pour relever ma fortune…
– Non, c’est toi que je veux Gwendor… Ferme les yeux… Ferme bien les yeux… Me comprends-tu ?
– Je te comprends Ô Mort…
« Dès l’aurore de cette journée, dès l’alouette… j’ai reçu ton message… j’ai senti dans mon cœur, dans mon bras aussi, dans les yeux de mes amis, dans le pas même de mon cheval, un charme triste et lent qui tenait du sommeil. Mon étoile venait de s’éteindre entre tes mains d’ombre et de peur… Comme est lourde à porter, Ô Mort, la honte d’une défaite…
« Atroce est le supplice d’une âme déçue… d’un chevalier que son épée trahit, déshonore.
« Aucune douleur ne se peut comparer… Les plaies du corps ne sont rien… La vie n’est rien…
« L’âme est, Ô Mort… Prête-moi mon âme encore un jour ou deux… Ce corps ira bien tel quel un jour ou deux… avec quelques étoupes… quelque vin bien chaud… Là, par cette plaie qui me tourmente le flanc tu ne veux pas me rendre un peu de souffle ?
« Que je puisse un jour ou deux reprendre mes armes… mon épée surtout… mes capitaines… mes goujats… attrouper mes Scythes… Ah ! Je te promets mirifique récolte ! Tiens ! Deux fois cent mille morts comme tous ceux-ci épars… Bien plus rouges !… plus noirs !… plus verts !… mieux tailladés de mille façons !... Dodus ! Plus pourris !...
« Tu ne vas saisir ici qu’un pauvre Prince ! Quel butin ! Honteux ! Navré ! Trahi ! Tout défait de noblesse devant Dieu et devant ses ennemis !
« Deux petits jours donne-moi…
« Deux petits jours et tu viens me reprendre tout fier Seigneur, tout glorieux de son sang, de sa vengeance, de ses amours !
« [Qui fut ?] vainqueur enfin… Seigneur triomphant et tout honneur pour ton empire !
« Que dis-tu ? Non ? Je te promets tiens, au surplus le cadavre tout bouillant, tout écumant de lutte, paré de pourpre et d’or… du Roi Krogold ! Haut et puissant et damné monarque de toutes les marches de Tierlande !
« N’est-ce rien ? N’es-tu point alléchée ? Le cœur le plus funeste, le plus méprisable de la chrétienté ! Plus barbaresque que Barbare ! Maudit ! Charogne bien plus repoussante que tous ceux que tu convoites ! Béni de Dieu celui qui le dépèce au pied de son trône ! Je m’en charge !
« Un jour ou deux !...
« Lui retourner toute la peau maudite comme gantelet de velours vivant par-dessus sa couronne ! Le pernicieux groin Diabolicorum ! Tout l’enfer pour lui Tout seul !
[... ]
« J’avais juré de revenir glorieux, redoutable et tout soumis d’amour à la plus chaste, la plus divine des créatures du ciel et de la terre…
« Wanda me pardonnerez-vous ?
« J’allais vaincre son père pourtant, m’allait-elle pardonner ?...
« Je meurs c’est mieux ainsi… Il vaut mieux que je parte… Triste et navré seigneur à mille trépas souffrant…
« Que puis-je Ô Mort ?...
« Dois-je avant de partir lui renouveler mon serment ?... est-ce fort aimable…
« Son père m’a fait périr… Sa victoire est maudite… venue des sortilèges…
« Dieu ne veut pas cela… Tu te trompes Ô Mort. Tu dois me laisser encore un jour pour vaincre le porc maudit.
– Je ne me trompe jamais.
– Un seul jour. Une seule matinée… un seul matin… une seule bataille… Une éternité de silence n’adoucira pas mon remords. Je veux bien retomber pourrir parmi ces pauvres vilains, sans honneur, sans lumière, sans un petit mot de blasphème, mais laisse-moi deux jours vivre…
– Tu ne peux plus rien demander Gwendor… tu ne peux plus rien prendre… Les temps sont venus… me voici… Je t’aime Gwendor...
– Non pas toi ! Je savais le secret des choses… tu ne serais pas venue… Je t’aurais bien fait déguerpir… Tu ne serais pas si arrogante… Si je ne l’avais oublié… le mot du secret… J’aurais remporté la victoire… J’aurais chassé, écrasé Krogold, il serait depuis ce matin dans les charmes… J’aurais ravi sa fille. Va-t’en ! va-t’en !
– Ferme les yeux ! Tous les secrets sont là Gwendor, je t’aime Gwendor ! Je t’aime plus doucement, plus tendrement que tous les autres…
– Je ne veux pas de toi.
– Moi je t’aime Gwendor… C’est tout. Viens !... Tes soldats ne t’aimaient pas… tes capitaines t’enviaient… tous… tes paysans ne pensaient qu’à ton trépas… tes marchands ne pensaient qu’à tes conquêtes pour se ruer, piller à ta suite… tes amis ne songeaient qu’à te dépouiller.
– Wanda m’aimait bien elle… très tendrement…
– Nous saurons tout cela dans les songes Gwendor… plus tard… bien plus tard… dans les temps du tombeau… si ta fiancée te chérit encore… lorsque tu ne seras plus… longtemps… bien longtemps… Nous verrons Gwendor si l’amour refleurit dans la tombe… sous le froid oubli… si les serments valent toujours… tu verras de quelle chanson la mort se berce… du malheur des amants… de la peine des serments tenus… des amours arrachés aux cœurs…Tu sauras de quels parfums les plus tenaces s’enivre la mort au jardin des roses défuntes… Tu entendras la belle histoire qui berce… »
Gwendor se débattait, résistait atrocement, arquebouté sur la lance qui le transperçait, il essayait encore de s’arracher au sol, en vain.
« Un peu de souffle Ô mort !
« Je t’en supplie ! Je suis trahi ! Tu le sais !
« Un peu de souffle ! Voleuse ! Le souffle d’un instant ! »
Il étouffait, hoquetait, implorait…
« Non Gwendor ! Non ! Le souffle n’appartient qu’aux oisillons les plus frêles, les plus égarés de ma prairie et les emporte au ciel… Ainsi Dieu le veut ! Ainsi vivent pour Dieu tous les oiseaux et les âmes !
« Viens Gwendor !... nous sommes en retard.
« Déjà te voici plus léger… »
Et la mort tout doucement saisit le prince.
Son poids s’était échappé… et il ne se défendait plus.
Un beau rêve l’emporta, le rêve qu’il faisait quand il était petit, dans son berceau de fourrures.
Dans la chambre des héritiers, près de sa nourrice la Morave en haut, tout en haut du beffroi dans le château du Roi Krogold.
La Volonté du Roi Krogold, Louis-Ferdinand Céline.

THEL, LE PAYS DES PEREGRINES
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Univers 3.1 • fantasy • territoire de l’univers d’Omphal + • histoire déclinée en parures narratives + (2023, projet en cours).
Au pays de Thel, territoire le plus à l’est du centre du monde, le faucon est prince et la femme est reine. Chaque jeune fille, entre sa dixième et sa vingtième année, se lie avec son compagnon de route et de chasse. Tous les ans, les jeunes filles de chaque clan quittent leur campement et chevauchent jusqu’aux grands lacs. Quand la lune verte et la lune blanche se joignent à l’aube, les jeunes faucons de la saison quittent leurs repères. Ils désignent leur future maîtresse en tournoyant au-dessus d’elle. Les désignées descendent de cheval et entrent dans l’eau sacrée, offrant leur poignet nu aux serres de leur familier. Le faucon se pose et le pacte est scellé quand une larme pérégrine glisse de l’œil perçant, roule et tombe sur le poignet enserré de la cavalière. Dans la lumière de l’aube, le cœur de cette larme rituelle brille d’un éclat nacré nimbé de sang. C’est la part d’âme que le faucon confie à la fille de Thel. A cet instant, la fauconnière abandonne toute société, ne se consacrant qu’aux fabuleux pouvoirs que le faucon lui offre. Ainsi, pendant les neuf années qui suivent cet instant, l’oiseau et la femme sont liés, ils apprendront à se battre par de le monde et à communiquer avec les esprits des plaines, des forêts et des montagnes de l’Est. Le mariage des âmes s’achevant, le faucon rejoint sa colonie d’origine et la fauconnière son clan de naissance. Mais au pays de Thel, il y a toujours un rapace qui rôde dans le ciel et une vieille femme qui a les yeux rivés sur lui. Les âmes se parlent et les larmes coulent, en silence, sur la terre.

Knights of the Order of the Crescent
Knights of the Order of the Crescent is a worthy discussion since we know that the crescent moon is an indigenous symbol from Southern Arabia, aka, Mexico, since Mexico was Southern Arabia and Mexico means, “In the center of the Moon”: https://rb.gy/himgj1.

Map of Mayaca, Florida (Ethiopia)
There is a town in Ethiopia called Mayo, Ethiopia. The name Mayo is the same as Maya (Mayans), so we are dealing with the Mayans. There was once a Mayan city in Florida called Mayaca (see post image of map), which is further proof that the Mayans established La floridas (Ethiopia Superior/ Tameri). This city was obviously named after the Mayas/ Mayans since we can see their tribal name of Maya in Mayaca (Maya-ca). Mayaca is now extinct and so is the Mayaca Tribe (Mayaca people), and we can blame the Spanish invasion (the Holy Wars) of the 1500's for their extinction; however, Florida still has Port Mayaca as evidence of a city now gone.

Moslem-Jerusalem under the Order of the Cresent, 1070
Muslem-Jerusalem from 1070 under the order of the Cresent. Moslem-Jerusalem, which looks very Moorish with the Crescent moons at the top of those Maurice domes. I love the Phoenician purple trim too at the top. This image is a full-page miniature of Jerusalem and the Dome of the Rock Image taken from feature 5 of Book of Hours, Use of Paris ('The Hours of René d'Anjou').

King René of Anjou
The Ordre du Croissant (Order of the Crescent; Italian: Ordine della Luna Crescente) was a chivalric order founded by Charles I of Naples and Sicily in 1268. It was revived in 1448 or 1464 by René I of Naples, the king of Jerusalem, Sicily, and Aragon (including parts of Provence), to provide him with a rival to the English Order of the Garter. René was one of the champions of the medieval system of chivalry and knighthood, and this new order was (like its English rival) neo-Arthurian in character. Its insignia consisted of a golden crescent moon engraved in grey with the word LOZ, with a chain of 3 gold loops above the crescent. On René's death, the Order lapsed. The Order of the Crescent, also known as "Order of the Crescent in the Provence,” a French chivalric order was founded on 11 August 1448 in Angers by King Rene of Provence as a court order. The order, which united itself, features from knighthood and spiritual orders, and counted up to 50 knights, of which can be dukes, princes, marquises, viscounts and knights with four quarters of nobility.
A French Canadian Maur by the name of Ann Marie Bourassa sent me a link to the Armorial Chevaliers (Knights) of the Order of the Crescent and the images in this post spoke to my DNA, since my maternal surname, “Chavis” means the Goat and Brave boy: https://rb.gy/qk2k10.
Chavis/ Chavers is also short for Chevaliers, since the Chavis are a Royal family of knights that is associated with bravery and passing the BAR. Chevaliers is French for Knights since the number one code of the knights is chivalry, which means bravery. During the old-world chivalry (honor) was established from being brave in battle, and cavalry is another word that is derived from chevaliers since cavalry means an army of mounted braves (Knights) on horses.
In 1066 during the Battle of Hastings, my French royal family of Shivers, which is French for Chavis, as knights, helped the French Viking King, “William the Conqueror,” a Danite, conquer England with the aid of two dragons and were given the Shivers Mountains in England by William the Conqueror due to the acts of Chivalry (bravery=Knighthood) on the battlefield: https://rb.gy/n9vlao.
Here is the link to the Armorial Knights of the order of the Crescent: https://rb.gy/y2hpa4. This link is in French, but you can use Goggle Translate to translate the French into English.
Please, avoid the hijack with the whitewash when reading the Armorial Knights link, because the original French were the Franks or Gauls (Gullah Geechee/ Galilee), and they were French Maurs (Merovingians): https://rb.gy/posjrm.
“Franks (Franci), a Germanic people who conquered Gallia (Gaul), and made it Francia (France).” [End quote from Oxford Classical Dictionary]. “Gaul, French Gaule, Latin Gallia, the region inhabited by the ancient Gauls, comprising modern-day France and parts of Belgium, western Germany, and northern Italy”: https://www.britannica.com/place/Gaul-ancient-region-Europe.
The Americas has the most place names associated with Gaul/ Gales/ Gules/ Gola/ Galley/ Gullah/ Galilee/ Gaelic (France). For example, Galesburg, Illinois; Galilee, Pennsylvania; Angola, Louisiana; Angola, Indiana, etc. Some of the African slaves allegedly came from Angola, aka, the Congo (Congo, Alabama*), which is a country allegedly in Africa on the Slave Coast. Gola, which is short for Angola (An-Gola), is also Gula as in Gullah Geechee – Seminole and Creek (Greek) Indians: https://msuweb.montclair.edu/~sotillos/moore.htm.
Guale was a historic Native American chiefdom (Tribe) of Mississippian culture peoples located along the coast of present-day Georgia and the Sea Islands. This tribe of Guale Indians were Maurs (Maur-iners as in Marine and Mar/ Mer as in sea), aka, Sea people. Guale was once a city on the Sea Coast of Georgia that is now extinct and so is this tribe of Indians (Washitaw Muurs = Yamasees and the five civilized tribes), due to Spanish conquest: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/gibraltar-of-the-west/.
In South America we have the Spanish equivalent to the Gullah Geechee, the “Gualeguaychú.” Gualeguaychú is a city in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina, on the left bank of the Gualeguaychú River (a tributary of the Uruguay River). In Mexico, we have Guatemala, which is a derivative of Gaul since the prefix Guate in Gutemala is Gaul.
This book, “Africa vs. America,” demonstrates that Europeans copied ancient Ghana that was in South America (Guyana) and built a second Ghana on the other coast [Africa], which is known as Congo or Angola. Africa vs. America,” by Isabel Alvarez: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/ancient-ghana-is-guyana/.
This FB post deals with a French Merovingian Queen, nicknamed “The She Wolf,” since she convinced a Baron (wizard), Lord Roger Mortimer, to help her to overthrow her gay husband, King Edward II of England to take the crown: https://rb.gy/7g9b4s.
Speaking of the She Wolf, the Capitoline Wolf is the She Wolf and is a symbol of the founding of Rome. The wolf is a sacred symbol of the Turks and the Danites. The Americas has 13 Capitoline Wolf Statues, which suggests that the greater Rome or Imperial Rome was in the Americas. Rome is derived from the Egyptian word Ramen and the Hebrew word Rimon, which means pomegranate. The pomegranate is a symbol of Granada Land (the promised land), which was in the Americas: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/imperial-rome-and-italy-superior/.
The Armorial Knights of the order of the Crescent has a few coats of arms with the She Wolf in the center of the moon. Mother Mary/ Maya/ Meru, aka, the Queen of Heaven, is shown in many images as the Venus Star Transit, which is the Mayan 5-pointed Star, standing in the center of the crescent moon. The wolf is code for the Dragon, aka, the constellation Draco when its Star Theban was the Pole Star or the North Star.
Who was Rene d’Anjou?
In this post are some images of the Royal Knights’ coat of arms of the Order of the Crescent, instituted by King René d’Anjou, ms. Fr. 5225. Statues of the Order of the Crescent, founded by René d’Anjou (1448), ms. Fr. 25204. (Source: gallica.bnf.fr, National Library of France).
The Ordre du Croissant (Order of the Crescent; Italian: Ordine della Luna Crescente) was a chivalric order [knights’ order] founded by Charles I of Naples and Sicily in 1268. It was revived in 1448 or 1464 by René I of Naples, the king of Jerusalem, Sicily and Aragon (including parts of Provence), to provide him with a rival to the English Order of the Garter. René was one of the champions of the medieval system of chivalry and knighthood, and this new order was (like its English rival) neo-Arthurian in character. Its insignia consisted of a golden crescent moon engraved in grey with the word LOZ, with a chain of three gold loops above the crescent. On René’s death, the Order lapsed.
The Armorial Knights of the Order of the Crescent, also known as “Order of the Crescent in the Provence,” a French chivalric order was founded on 11 August 1448 in Angers by King Rene of Provence as a court order. The order, which united itself, features from knighthood and spiritual orders, and counted up to fifty knights, of which can be dukes, princes, marquises, viscounts, and knights with four quarters of nobility.
The Knights committed themselves to mutual assistance and loyalty to the order which, after the Provence became part of France in 1486, was soon forgotten. Ackermann mentions this knighthood as a historical order of France.
In this post is a poorly whitewashed image of King Rene of Anjou since he is still swarthy (dark/ Black) in his image. King Rene was the grandson of King John II of France, aka, John the Good, who was undoubtedly a Naga/ Negro: https://rb.gy/onckrm.
René of Anjou (Italian: Renato; Occitan: Rainièr; Catalan: Renat; 1409–1480) was Duke of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, King of Sicily, King of Aragon (Gules), and Count of Provence [Province, Maine*] from 1434 to 1480, who also reigned as King of Naples as René I from 1435 to 1442 (then deposed as the preceding dynasty was restored to power). Having spent his last years in Aix-en-Provence, he is known in France as the Good King René (Occitan: Rei Rainièr lo Bòn; French: Le bon roi René).
René was a member of the House of Valois-Anjou, a cadet branch of the French royal house, and the great-grandson of John II of France. He was a prince of the blood, and for most of his adult life also the brother-in-law of the reigning king Charles VII of France. Other than the aforementioned titles, he was for several years also Duke of Bar and Duke of Lorraine.
René was born on 16 January 1409 in the castle of Angers.[2] He was the second son of Duke Louis II of Anjou, King of Naples, by Yolanda of Aragon.[2] René was the brother of Marie of Anjou, who married the future Charles VII and became Queen of France.[3]
Anjou is just a Latinized way of saying Andros/ Andrews, so we are dealing with Saracens (old Arabs) of the lost 10 lost tribes of Israel that were descendants of the first Apostle Saint Andrew: https://the-red-thread.net/genealogy/andrews.html.
Greater France or France Superior in the Americas:
If you have read my post about Imperial Rome and Italy Superior you already know that Italy Superior was La Floridas and there is also a Naples, Florida, which suggests that Rene Anjou was once the king of Naples, Florida since La Floridas was the original Italy. Remember that France borders Italy, which means that since Italy Superior was in the Americas Greater France or France Superior was also in the Americas.
Now, if we include Gules/ Gual (Aragon) and Maine, it leaves no doubt that this history is referring to Greater France in the Americas since the Imperial Rome and Italy Superior post proves that Africa, Europe, and the Middle East was originally in the Americas.
Maine and the New England states were once part of the Nova France and this territory was once known as Nova France (New France), according to old maps from the 1500’s – 1700’s, however, we know that it is nothing new about Nova France since the Americas is the East (the Orient) and the old world. Maine also has a Bar Harbor, now a resort for the wealthy. Notice that when you read the description of the coat of arms in the Armorial Knights link you will see a few references to Bar and Maine, which suggests that ancient Frankish (French) history is referring mostly to the Americas.
France borders Italy, according to modern-day maps, therefore, this post is more evidence confirming that the original France was in the Americas since Florida was Italy Superior.
King Anjou was born and buried in Angers, France. Angers sounds a lot like Algiers, Louisiana. Algiers was part of the Ottoman Empire that was originally in the Americas: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/the-ottoman-empire-in-the-americas/.
The French and the Ottoman Turks as Moormans (Danites=Vikings=Sea people) were blood allies against Spain (Rome) during the Crusades or Holy Wars. Louisiana has France written all over it since Louisiana is called Cajun Country. Plus, the prefix of Louis in Louis-iana is a French name that is associated with a long list of French Kings. Cajun and Acadian (Akkadian) are the same word. In fact, Louisiana used to be a part of the Acadian Republic. Louisiana is called the boot kicking state since Louisiana is shaped like a boot, and so is Italy and Florida. Louisiana has a French Quarters and the people called themselves Cajuns (Acadians).
Additionally, the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, is called the Crescent City and it shares the same place names as Orleans, France. Louisiana also has Parishes (Parish=Paris), which is derived from Paris, as in Paris, France. Paris means “For Isis” or “City of Isis,” and Paris is short for Paradise. Baton Rouge (Louisiana) is a French word that means Red Stick.
The New Orleans Saints logo is the fleur-de-lis (Florida*). It’s a French word that means lily flower in English. French Maurs (High Priest of Anu) known as the Merovingians introduced the fleur-de-lis as a symbol of France, which is sometimes spelled fleur-de-lys; and it is a stylized lily or iris commonly used for decoration. In fact, translated from French, fleur-de-lis means “lily flower.” Fleur means “flower,” while lis means “lily.” The interesting thing about the fleur-de-lis or Lily Flower is that it is derived from the Bee, and it is just an upside-down Bee: https://rb.gy/jpasca.
AGOULT (Fouquet or Foulques d’)
Or, to the ravishing wolf Azure, armed, langued and vilené Gules (1). 
Baron of Mison, of La Tour-d’Aigues, of Sault and of Forcalquier, lord of Thèze, Barret, Volone, La Bastide, Peypin, Niozelles, etc., chamberlain of René d’Anjou, viguier of Marseilles (1443, 1445 and 1472); son of Raymond and Louise de Glandevès-Faucon, his second wife; married: 1° with Jeanne de Beaurain; 2° with Jeanne de Bouliers; died without posterity at La Tour-d’Aiguës in 1492, nearly 100 years old.
Fouquet d’Agoult had been nicknamed by his contemporaries the Great and the Illustrious, in view of his love of justice, his magnificence and his liberality. Nostradamus (2) reports that “after the death of this so good and so excellent Roy (René d’Anjou) several and various eulogies, epitaphs and learned compositions were placed on his tomb, in the church of the Convent of the Carmelites of the City of Aix…The eulogies were in various languages, Hebrews, Greeks, Latins, French, Italians, Cathalans and Provencals, which the magnificent Fouquet d’Agoult, lord of Sault, had collected and transcribed exactly by the express command de la Reyne his second wife.
(1) All the genealogists and heraldists describe the d’Agoult coat of arms in the terms we have just used; however, the wolf is always represented crawling and not ravishing, that is to say holding its prey in the mouth. We didn’t want to change anything in the accepted description; but it was necessary to point out that it does not agree with the representation of the coat of arms. In 1220, the seal of Raymond II d’Agoult bore a passing wolf. (2) History and Chronicle of Provence, p. 646.
ANJOU (Charles I of)
Azure, semé of fleurs-de-lis Or, to the lion Argent set in quarter; bordered gules.
Count of Maine, Guise, Mortain, viscount of Châtellerault, lieutenant general for the king in Languedoc and Guyenne; third son of Louis II of Sicily and Yolande of Aragon; married: 1°, before 1434, with Cobelle Ruffo (2), widow of Jean-Antoine Marzano, Duke of Sessa, Prince of Rossano, daughter of Charles Ruffo, Count of Montalto and Corigliano, Grand Justice of the Kingdom of Naples, and of Cevareila de Saint-Séverin (see this name); 2°, by contract of January 9, 1443, with Isabelle de Luxembourg, daughter of Pierre de Luxembourg, count of Saint-Pol, and of Marguerite des Baux; born in the castle of Montils-les-Tours, October 14, 1414; died at Neuvy, in Touraine, on April 10, 1472, and buried in the church of Saint-Julien in Le Mans.
(2) Through this alliance, Cobelle Ruffo had become the sister-in-law of three kings, Louis III of Sicily, René of Anjou and Charles VII. Polyxène Ruffo, his sister, first married François-Alexandre Sforza (see this name).
ANJOU (Jean d’)
Per fess of one party, of two, which makes six quarters: 1 barage Argent and Gules, of eight pieces (HUNGARY); 2nd, Azure, strewn with fleurs-de-lis Or, a label Gules, five pendants in chief (ANJOU-SICILY); 3 Argent, to the cross of Jerusalem Or, at angle (JERUSALEM); 4th, azure, strewn with fleurs-de-lis or, a border gules (ancient ANJOU); 5th Azure, strewn with recrossed crosses set foot Or, two bars backed by the same debruising over all (BAR): 6th Or, a bend Gules charged with three alerions Argent ( LORRAINE); a label Gules three pendants in chief, debruising on the large quarters.
Duke of Calabria and Lorraine, senator of the Crescent (1470); eldest son of René d’Anjou and Isabelle de Lorraine; married, by treaty of April 2, 1437, with Marie de Bourbon, daughter of Charles I, Duke of Bourbon, and Agnès de Bourgogne; born in Toul on August 2, 1426, died in Barcelona on December 16, 1470, and buried in Angers, in the church of the Cordeliers (1).
(1) On a glass roof of this church, this prince was represented on his knees, his hands joined, a floral crown on his head, and wearing a loose coat with a turned down collar. In front of him was the coat of arms described above, supported by the emblem of the order of the Crescent with its motto. (MONTFAUCON, op. cit., t. II, pl. LXI11). These arms are absolutely identical to those which appear on a counter-seal of Jean d’Anjou, affixed to a document of 1465 (DOUET D’ARCQ, Collection de sceaux, t. I, n°789).
ANJOU (René d’)
Cut from one, from two, which makes six quarters; to 1 of HUNGARY; at 2 d’ANJOU-SICILY; at 3 of JERUSALEM; at 4 d’ANJOU old; at 5 of BAR; at 6 LORRAINE; over all Or, four pales Gules (ARAGON).
King of Naples, Sicily, Jerusalem and Aragon, Duke of Anjou, Lorraine and Bar, Count of Provence, Senator of the Crescent (1449); son of Louis II, Duke of Anjou, King of Naples, and Yolande of Aragon; married, in first marriage, by treaty of March 20, 1419, with Isabelle de Lorraine, eldest daughter and heiress of Charles II, Duke of Lorraine, and of Marguerite de Lorraine; in second marriage, September 10, 1454, with Jeanne de Laval, daughter of Guy XIV, Count of Laval, and Isabelle de Bretagne; born in Angers on January 16, 1409, died in Aix on July 10, 1480, and buried in the church of Saint-Maurice in Angers on October 26, 1481.
From the institution of the Armorial Knights of the Order of the Crescent, King René accompanied these coats of arms (1) (still existing in 1620, at Saint-Maurice d’Angers) with the insignia of the order (2), which he had painted and sculpted on a large number of monuments and works of art, to engrave on its seals (3) and to embroider (4) on its tapestries and ceremonial costumes.
(1) On the subject of the various coats of arms carried successively by René, see our work: La Croix de Jerusalem dans le Blason, p. 14. (2) Ung radiant and marvelous crescent, Garny of fine gold and white enamel, Of which there was in frank writing, Loz in crescent in engraved and understood, Such motto had this lord taken. Not without reason, for his loz would grow On all living beings who had loz and be. (OCTAVIE DE SAINT-GELAIS, Le Séjour de l’Honneur.) (3) Some of these seals have a double crescent on the reverse that Mr Douet d’Arcq (collection of seals, n°11783) took for two bags or stacked purses. (4) In 1448, Pierre du Villant, painter and embroiderer to the King of Sicily, two professions closely united in the Middle Ages, executed four embroidered crescents for his new order of chivalry (LECOY DE LA MARCHE, Extracts from accounts and memorials, n ° 632).
CHAMPAGNE (Peter I of)
Sable, fretty Argent; a chief or charged with a lion issanl gules (1). Currency (2): Sta closes.
Lord of Champagne, Pescheseul, Lonvoisin, Bailleul and Parcé, Prince of Montorio and Aquila, First Baron of Maine, Viceroy of Sicily and Anjou; third son of Jean III of Champagne and Ambroise de Crénon; married, according to contract of April 22, 1441, with Marie de Laval, sister of Guy de Laval (see this name), and daughter of Thibaut and Jeanne de Maillé-Brézé; died in Angers, almost a hundred years old, on October 15, 1486, and buried on the 22nd of the same month, in the church of Saint-Martin de Parce (3).
This valiant knight, who had distinguished himself in many battles, won two great victories against the English: the first in 1442, in the plain of Saint-Denis d’Anjou, and the second in 1448, before Beaumont-le-Vicomte. The following year, Jean d’Anjou gave him the order to help Charles VII against the English, and he covered himself with glory at the Battle of Formigny (1450).
(1) In the 17th century, this family sought to attach itself to the illustrious house of the Counts of Champagne and took its arms, which are: Azure with a silver band, bordered by two cotices potent and counter-potentiated Golden. (2) Motto and coat of arms still visible in 1620, in the chapel of the Knights of the Crescent in Saint-Maurice d’Angers. (3) The epitaph engraved on his tomb had been composed, it seems, by the king.
SFORZA (François-Alexandre)
Quarterly: 1st and 4th Or, to the eagle Sable crowned of the first (LOMBARDY); 2nd and 3rd, Argent, to the bisse Azure in pale, crowned Or, giving birth to a child Gules (VISCONTI-MILAN).
Duke of Milan (1454); natural son of Muzio Attendolo dit Sforza, lord of Cotignola, and Lucrezia Trezana or Tresciano; husband: 1° of Polyxène Ruffo, widow of Jacques Marilli (?) Grand Seneschal of the Kingdom of Naples, daughter of Charles Ruffo, Count of Montalto and Corigliano, and of Cevarella de Saint-Séverin; 2° (August 1, 1441) of Blanche-Marie Visconti, natural daughter of Philippe-Marie Visconti, Duke of Milan; born at San-Miniato (Tuscany), July 25, 1401, died at Milan, March 8, 1466.
As you can see, the Armorial Knights of the Order of the Crescent were very distinguished and extraordinary gentlemen and so was their King, Rene of Anjou since King Rene was a Saracen (Moslem) that was the King of Jerusalem, Sicily, Naples, and Aragon. In this post is an image of Moslem-Jerusalem, which looks very Moorish with the Crescent moons at the top of those Maurice domes. I love the Phoenician purple trim too at the top. This image is a full-page miniature of Jerusalem and the Dome of the Rock Image taken from feature 5 of Book of Hours, Use of Paris (‘The Hours of René d’Anjou’). Written in Latin, calendar, and rubrics in French: https://picryl.com/media/jerusalem-from-bl-eg-1070-f-5-4d2417.
The royal coats of arms of the Knights of the Order of the Crescent display powerful images of occult symbols like the kingfish (fisher king), the Falcon (Horus), and the Bee/ Beetle. The Fleur-de-lis symbol is an upside-down bee. We know that the study of the birds (falcons) and the bees/ beetles is real sex (love) through alchemy, and this advanced knowledge (magic) that was acquired from Thoth/ Thought was used to create an Eden style of government or Ethiopia = Utopia that was based on free energy and a resource-based economy: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/teotihuacan-is-the-home-of-thoth/.
The fisher kings who were Fishers of men, aka, Magi’s, were the High Priest of Anu (Maurs) from Nineveh, which was Jacksonville, Florida, and surrounding areas. Nineveh means place of fish or House of fish and is the home of Prophet Jonah of the Bible: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/nineveh-was-jacksonville-florida/.
Speaking of Jonah, a fish/ whale swallowed him for 3 days and then spit him out, which is code for him being born from a dragon, making Jonah a messiah, a Christ-king, and/or a Dragon-king: https://rb.gy/dsgf9g.
In this post is the coat of arms of royal knight, SFORZA (François-Alexandre), that depicts a Maur (High priest of Anu) being born from a blue dragon since serpents/ dragons don’t eat their prey feet-first. Also, notice the double headed Turkey of the Holy Roman Empire on the coat of arms. People think that this bird is an Eagle when it really is a Turkey, since Turkeys have beards and Eagles don’t. If you view different images of Hapsburg (Holy Roman empire) coat of arms you see that the bird on this coat of arms is clearly a double headed Turkey with a red beard. The Turkey is indigenous to the Americas and so is the Roman Empire. The Turkey is a hybrid bird that was spliced together with light codes (sound frequencies), aka, light alchemy, by Turkmen/ Moorman long ago using a combination of the Tukey Buzzard and the Chicken (the base metals) to create another meat source known as Turkey (the gold or good product).
I know this Roman History is confusing because Rome was a global empire that was on both sides of the world, however, the legit honorable Roman Empire that was in the Americas and under French Washitaw rule was overthrown by the duplicate Christian and Catholic Rome in Europe since the American version of the Romans were Saracens (Moslems) and pagans (Hebrews) that were labeled as infidels, in the eyes of the duplicate Roman hijack.

Tuesday 7 April 1840
7 50/..
12 ¾
Vladicavkas [Vladikavkaz]
fine morning R10 ½° on the window seat closet o my bed – breakfast at 9 10/.. in 35 minutes then had Domna -  vid. Dubois de Montpéreux voyage autour du Caucase iii.6. the Passmta 3rd cime in height of the Caucasus –
the 3 highest summits
