    • While doing research I ran across this. The book was written in 1885 but these abjurations (?) were taken in the late 1600s or early 1700s around the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.

    “Historical test by Jean BIANQUIS - Pasteur of the Reformed Church of ROUEN”

    This book contains

    • These are Prots who abjured?  I didn't even know the Edict of Nantes was revoked... I need to brush up on my history, apparently.  Way to go Frenchies!

    Are you suggesting, Darcy, that Abp. Lefebvre has Huguenot blood, if such a thing exists?  Maybe, maybe not, but how do you know these are his ancestors?  Just because of the name?  Because that name is extremely common in France.  If not as generic as Smith or Jones, it's about as common as the name Anderson here.  I think it is in the top twenty most common names.

    By the way, I have recently become friends with a group of French sedes, they aren't snotty at all and have welcomed me with open arms.  They have tons of charm.

    It's interesting when fantasies become reality.  This is exactly what I was hoping for.  Two of them said they would help me with my move, and one of them alerted me to a job as professor of English in Rennes that I could get.  I've been invited to a pilgrimage in Brittany in August, where they walk 20 km per day and camp at night.  I don't think I'll make it over there by then, but it sounds fun.

    Readers: Please IGNORE all my postings here. I was a recent convert and fell into errors, even heresy for which hopefully my ignorance excuses. These include rejecting the "rhythm method," rejecting the idea of "implicit faith," and being brieflfy quasi-Jansenist. I also posted occasions of sins and links to occasions of sin, not understanding the concept much at the time, so do not follow my links.

    • LeFebvres was a very Huguenot name.
    At the revocation, protestants had to convert (and abjure) or leave France and some were killed for refusing. My 6th great grandfather was on that list and did not abjure. The story is sketchy as to whether he got away or was killed but he also supposedley made it to Bavaria. He died before coming to U.S. but his family made it and settled largley in Pennsylvania. I never knew what Huguenots were until I did my family history. That family line remained protestant until marrying my Italian Catholic great-grandmother. It is our only protestant line.
    My ancestor family adopted a LeFevre (no 'b').
    Lineage from my Huguenont family ran straight through William the Conquerer, Hugh Capet, the Pepins, Charlemagne, Martel and ends at 420AD with Clovis.

    So I am now developing an interest in the Great Monarch. :king:

    It was Grace that reached LeFebvre's family in time to form a strong solid Catholic lineage. The one way to find out  if the converts were his ancestors would be to plug him and his parents into ancestry.com and see if anything matches up.
    Maybe he did write about it somewhere but never emphasized it.
    Somebody on here might know more about his life.
    Perhaps, if he knew about his history it would have influenced the way he perceived what was going down at the Vat. And made him more likely to resist and take initiative. :scratchchin:

    There is no way that I know of for any line to run through William (the Conquerer) to the others mentioned. William was reputedly a bastard of uncertain descent.  Also, there is not a consensus on how to get from Siegbert (the Lame) and go the last two steps to Clovis. All the same, an interesting ghetto to be sprung from.   :soapbox:

    That is very impressive Lighthouse! It is not a straight line but takes a little dog-leg turn out and picks up William, via his wife, Matilda of Flanders. Her parents were Baudouin V, Count of Flanders and Adele of France (Daughter of Robert II of France.)
    Baudouin was 8 generations after Louis the Pius, the successor of Charlemagne.
    Now, Robert II was the son of Hugh Capet who was the 5th great-grandson of Charlemagne by both his parents.

    My chart has Clovis-->Childebert-->>Siegbert->Cloderic->Munderic-->St. Gondolfus-->Bodegesil II-->St. Arnoul-->Ansegise-->Pepin-->Martel-->Pepin-->Charlemagne>>>>> etc., to me :-) lol

    Uncertainty likely comes from the many people with the same name.

    Thanks for chiming in--no hijack really.

    • Oops, sorry to doubt you. I was forgetting about Mathilda to France, because I have only gotten deeply into Isabella the "she-wolf" into France as far as the English kings.

    Well, I guess we are cousins in some way or another so I'll have to cut you some slack.

    • Sh-sh-sh! There it is again. Like a trapped animal whining, way off in the distance.

    • Well I would guess the point of the tread is to have a bit of fun with history.  And, apparently, insulting Stevusmagnus

    • You've got it backwards.  The point of the thread is to insult history and have a little fun with Stevus.

    • Well, it is not the only thing I have gotten confused on this board today.
