I realised that my last post was still Good Friday and decided, after almost a week of Easter, it's high time to add something new, an Easter post, even though I have nothing very exciting to report.
On second thought that isn't true, I do have something exciting, I just remembered. So exciting, life-changing exciting, I can hardly believe I forgot. On Easter Sunday I found out that I am a direct descendant of King Saint Louis IX of France, father of eleven, patron of Versailles and Quebec City, 13th-century crusader and sole canonized French monarch. He is my great-great-great (well, 26 greats anyway) grandfather. Who was descended from Eleanor of Aquitaine, so her blood runs in my veins as well. This discovery was almost surreal. And as it turned out, Saint Louis' birthday was Easter Monday. I'm so pumped about it!
Saint Louis IX, pray for us!
