I wrote to them and their response was ta da ***nothing** they clearly are arrogant and incapable of flushing their own toilet. They probably think us dumb and silly Americans are always bothering them about genealogy and royalty. Well I know I have royalty and nobility in my tree because I have those documents and I gave them all the information to pull files and I heard nothing. Jean de Bourbon -my great paternal grandfather- came to New France and died their in an Indian attack with a Knight at his side with the King's soldiers. The documents I found confirm my family's legend. The old Prince of France had an affair with an unknown woman and had a son that was even baptized the son of the King of Canada. Then court did not know this, the King died, his legitimate son became king and this one was sent into obscurity in Canada to live out his life as a farmer and to be forgotten. The King's of France had tons of illegitimate children and affairs and most of their names are known and are in official documents and often legitimized by the King and given titles. The old King gave this son legitimacy through his baptism by the Bishop of Rouen. So he was young but a threat to the new King. This is a direct reference to Charles de Bourbon's line if I am not mistaken. He was the Prince of Canada and the Viceroy of the King there. Samuel de Champlain was his lt. Charles de Bourbon died in the early 1600s and thus his line was in danger because the new King would prefer to retain title over New France, hence the punishment. The other line of Bourbons was killed off, thus my family is the true claimant to the throne.
