	Bernadotte
		Bernadotte, who was born in the town of Pau, in the province of Béarn[?], France, had through the tumultuous French Revolution risen to become not only one of Napoleon's generals, but also a Marshal of France and Prince of Ponte Corvo[?], a town in northern Italy.
		Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte reigned as King Charles XIV of Sweden and Carl III Johan of Norway from February 5, 1818 until his death on March 8, 1844.
		The coat of arms of the House of Bernadotte combines the vase of the coat of arms of the House of Vasa (left, with the hint of a French-like tricolour in the background) and the coat of arms of Bernadotte as the Prince of Ponte Corvo[?] (right).

		On the introduction of the Empire Bernadotte became one of the eighteen Marshals of France, and, from June 1804 to September 1805, he acted as governor of the recently-occupied Hanover.
		Bernadotte, considerably piqued, thereupon returned to Paris, where the council of ministers entrusted him with the defence of the Netherlands against the English.
		On November 2 Bernadotte made his solemn entry into Stockholm, and on November 5 he received the homage of the estates and was adopted by Charles XIII under the name of "Charles John" (Karl Johan).

	The Assassination of Count Bernadotte
		Bernadotte used his position to negotiate with Heinrich Himmler and save thousands of Jews from concentration camps, although many argue that he could have done more had he been less cautious in negotiations.
		A diplomat fluent in six languages, Bernadotte was appointed mediator of the UN General Assembly on May 20, 1948, and was immediately faced with the volatile situation in the Middle East.
		One organization that saw Bernadotte’s efforts as a threat was LEHI, a Jewish underground group that, under the leadership of Yitzhak Shamir, Dr. Israel Scheib and Nathan Friedman-Yellin, had waged a campaign of “personal terror” to force the British out of Palestine.

	Alexander Palace Time Machine - Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna
		(This house, Oakhill, reverted to Marie's son upon her divorce from Vilhelm in 1913.) Marie claimed the women of the Swedish royal family disliked her, particularly Vilhelm's mother, and believed them jealous of the spectacular jewels she had brought from Russia.
		She died on the 15th of that month, in the Constance clinic where her son had taken her, aged 68 years and eight months, less than half of her life having been spent in a Russia that by the 1950's was the stuff of legend.
		Marie had wished to die at Easter-time, "to the accompaniment of soft spring sounds, eternally young, eternally joyous." This was denied her, but Count Bernadotte saw to it that in death his mother was united with the one person her wary heart seems to have loved most genuinely in life.

	Who Are The Black Nobility?
		All the families listed are connected with the House of Guelph, one of the original Black Nobility families of Venice, from which the House of Windsor and thus the present Queen of England, Elizabeth II, descends.
		The Guelphs are so intertwined with the German aristocracy through the House of Hanover that it would take several pages to mention all their connections.
		All (almost) European royal houses originate from the House of Hanover and thus from the House of Guelph — the Black Nobility.

		The names "Guelph" and "Ghibelline" appear to have originated in Germany, in the rivalry between the house of Welf (Dukes of Bavaria) and the house of Hohenstaufen (Dukes of Swabia), whose ancestral castle was Waiblingen in Franconia.
		The princes of the house of Hohenstaufen being the constant opponents of the papacy, "Guelph" and "Ghibelline" were taken to denote adherents of Church and Empire, respectively.
		Prince Bernhard is leader of the Black Families and he also claims descent from the House of David through the Merovingian dynasty, a claim that was acknowledged to be valid by the Carolingian dynasty that supplanted them, by other monarchs and by the Roman Church of that time.

		The Netherlands: none in the history of the kingdom (dating from 1815) -- although there may have been cases in the more distant past within the House of Orange, when the country was governed by stadholders.
		In Italy, I believe King Umberto I and Queen Margherita were cousins from the same house (Savoy) -- but I'm less familiar with the histories of the duchy of Parma or kingdom of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.

		Count Bernadotte and the French observer who took Bunche's place were assassinated on their way back from Government House by the extremist Stern Gang.
		Bunche succeeded as Mediator and on the island of Rhodes negotiated armistice agreements between Israel and its four Arab neighbours, a feat that was widely regarded as impossible and for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
		The Secretary-General's death in Africa on 17 September 1961-the same date on which Count Bernadotte had been assassinated 13 years before-was a crushing blow to Bunche, who on both occasions took the lead in rallying a shocked and disconsolate UN Secretariat to get on with the job.

		The Duke and Duchess of Connaught came in the Enchantress, and the occasion was memorable for the simultaneous presence of four male generations of the House of Bernadotte.
		The house in which the first three or four days were spent, an old wooden country house taken over with the estate, had for long been uninhabited.
		There was something rather suggestive in the stationary life of these modest houses occupied by the old French settlers under the shadow of the belfries, on the threshold of a vast progressive Canada.

	A Little Known Adventure of Thomas Stokes
		On the 30th day of the 10th month, 1668, in the Westbury Street Meeting House in London Thomas Stokes was united in marriage with Mary Barnard, daughter of John Barnard and Frances Munt, and granddaughter of Samuel Munt of Peldon Hall, County Essex, yeoman, who died about I657.*
		The probably proofs of these presumed relationships are contained in the facts that John and Ann Stokes and Elizabeth Stokes (prior to her marriage to John Miller) were all residents of Wentworth Street, Stepney, county Middlesex, not far from Spittlefields (Spitalfields).
		Additional significant factors in determining the relationship of these Stokeses are their attendance at Devonshire House Meeting and interments in the same cemeteries, such as Bunhillfields and Checker Alley.
