But if that were true, we should have heard about the outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in New Mexico in 1993. How many people were infected?

So perhaps it was up to influential people like Prince Albert to move things along more impressively. Otherwise most land owners would never look after their tenants.<br /><br />When my grandmother arrived in the East End of London before WW1, they had 10 children, 2 parents and an uncle living in a 2-bedroom flat. The toilets in the back lane were shared by four (rather large) families.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364684036684376905.post-19564170729419122732019-09-15T23:20:07.425-07:002019-09-15T23:20:07.425-07:00Flowers on a veil are a lovely idea, but are not r...Flowers on a veil are a lovely idea, but are not readily visible.

to me ...I think he was handsome enough, but stout. <br />to me he sounded like a plump man who enjoyed sex and food... a brave man who became indolent, much like those who are athletes in youth... a fellow who marries and sticks to his wife.<br />I mean, just to have some form of fidelity, after growing up in the court of Charles II and then living<br />in the court of her father was something remarkable!<br />(James, in turn, came to enjoy Catherine Sedley's... well, I'm not certain it was her company as much <br />as her body. it was said he was trying to arrange her marriage with Churchill to ensure he had a "cover" <br />for his interest in her. when it didn't materialize she didn't marry until long after her relationship<br />with the Duke ended- though it was long after he became king and was under the orders of his <br />confessor.)<br />though, it must be said..<br />George may have been the source of those difficult pregnancies. <br />syphilis was rampant in Charles II's court, and miscarriages/stillbirths certainly can be a side effect if a woman is infected with it via a lover or husband, as well as infertility. look at Catherine of Braganza and Mary of Modena, even Mary II. (though Mary II's infertility may have been due to infection/scarring from her first miscarriage rather than venereal disease.) these courts can be quite incestuous when it comes to intimate relationships. <br />so while George may have been the very soul of fidelity after marriage, he did have a rambunctious early life before. (as a junior officer he was known to have rescued his brother, the danish King, who had been captured by Swedish troops).

As for Marlene corrections...Interesting post Viola. As for Marlene corrections, here are a few notes:<br /><br />King Miguel I was defeated in the Portuguese Civil War in 1834 by his brother former King Pedro IV of Portugal and first Emperor o Brasil. He abdicated his rights on his daughter who became Queen Maria II, while still in Brasil and gave Portugal a Constitution. Maria was supposed to marry her uncle Miguel, but he reveled and called the Cortes Gerais (traditionally representing the old regime) and was proclamed King. <br /><br />That was the beginning of the civil war. After being defeated, a peace treaty was signed (Evora Monte Convention), where he lost his rights, had to leave for exile, where he was to receive a pension for life. However, on arriving in Italy, he declared the treaty null and of no effect, claiming his rights, reason why he never received his pension and was banned from entering the country again ( Lei do Banimento). <br /><br />In fact his successors always claimed the rights to the Portuguese throne and were supported in their claims by a significant part of the Portuguese aristocracy. When the monarchy was abolished in Portugal in 1910 and King Manuel had to leave the country and go to England in exile, there was an approach between the two branches of the family and negotiations started for a mutual recognition ( The Dover and later Paris pacts). <br /><br />When King Manuel II died childless in 1932, the Braganças Miguel branch was the closest to Manuel line and their members were later recognized as the rightfull heirs to the Portuguese throne.<br /><br />Miguel, who married Anita, was forced to renounce his rights for having married a commoner (the same as later happened in England when Edward VIII married Wallis Simpson). So there was no way he could claim any rights. His father on his turn also renounced his rights in favor of Dom Duarte Nuno (a younger half-brother of Miguel). His son Dom Duarte Pio is the present head of the Bragança family.<br />Sérgio Figueira<br />Master in History at the Faculty of Letters<br />Porto UniversityAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913707177379556334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364684036684376905.post-50925681253102322802016-01-11T17:46:41.955-08:002016-01-11T17:46:41.955-08:00Thanks for the link!
