By the way, what is the Marquis de Lafayette up to, at this point? He's not dead, is he?
Also... watched The House of Rothschild on TCM a couple of nights ago; it was very strange seeing a 70-something-year-old actor portraying the Wellington of 1814 (he was visibly MUCH older than Wellington should've been), much less watching him agreeably hobnob with Jewish people the rest of British society stick their noses up at... and having a very pleasant young actor portraying Metternich (yes, METTERNICH) was the icing on the cake of disbelief.
But one of the key plot points in the film involves the Allies floating a massive loan via the Rothschilds to help France rebuild after the war. What became of that loan ITTL, I wonder?
