Tat,
I was in the 3rd grade when the librarian told me the story of Henry VIII and his wives-"divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived" and from that moment I was hooked. Fastforward a couple (or more) decades and I am still a rabid fan. I simply adore Anne Boleyn, I recently got a personalized "Anne Boleyn" necklacewhich I treasure. http://www.etsy.com/listing/9452031/custom-anne-boleyn-necklace for those of you who are also lovers of the Tudors.
Thanks for starting this thread.

Dating with lady death on 1793
General Discussion
I am quite proud of my death! My end is one of the things that attracted me to this role, as it illuatrates the incredible bonds of friendship.
The Princess de Lamballe is loyal and heroic. In 1791the Princess deLamballe goes toGreat Britianto appeal for help for the French royal family, thereshe writes her will, since she fears death upon returning to Paris. Nonetheless, she returns to incredibledangerout of loyalty to Marie Antoinette. On August 19, 1792, the Princess and the Marquise de Tourzel, governess to the royal children,are separated from the royal family and transferred to the La Force prison. On the 3rd ofSeptember, sheis brought before a hastily assembled tribunal which demands she "take an oath to love liberty and equality and to swear hatred to the King and the Queen and to the monarchy". She naturally refuses, upon which her trial is summarily ended with the words, "largissez madame" ("Take madame away"). Sheis thrown to a mob, who beats her to death with hammers and picks. Most reports agree she is raped and that her breastsare cut off, in addition to other bodily mutilations (which I will not mention, as they are beyond gruesome) The Princess' head is cut off and stuck on a pike and paraded beneath the window of Marie Antoinette, who is naturally devasted at the horrible death of her dear friend.
The Princess de Lamballe is often considered boring and dull andshe was eclipsed by the much more glamourous Duchess de Polignac at thecourt of Versailles. Yet when the time comes to show loyalty and friendship itisthe strong and steadfast Princess de Lamballe who remains by the side of her Queen, andultimately gives her life for her friend.
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."-John 15:13

MA,
GWTW has been favorite book since I was 12 and first read it. I have since read it nearly every year.I still discover new things about my dear Scarlett and her world. I live only about100 miles from Clayton County and Atlanta, Georgia. Scarlett is without a doubtthe greatest heroine (and YES, she is a heroine par excellence!) in all of literature and I am not just saying that because I too am a Southern Belle.
Anyone who has not read this masterpiece of literature is truly missing out an enchanting world of gracious ladies and dashing gentlemen set in a world now gone with the wind!
