What I found amazing is that the families were clearly close, and it wasn't as though the Le Neufs were such fancy aristocrats, but it was clearly offensive even in that considerably flatter social hierarchy. A rule is a rule.
This has been such an interesting story. What a sad way for things to end for the Morins. Looking forward to the epologue. I hope something goes right for them.
What a dramatic climax. It feels very unjust from a modern perspective, almost as if the seduction charge was an excuse for a land grab. I love the illustrations, by the way.
This is great!
When the epilogue is in, I'd like to share your whole story with several groups I belong to. Okay with you?
It would be my pleasure!
Interesting to read that the charge of seduction was an offense to parental rights. So well-researched! Looking forward to reading the Epilogue.
It makes sense. The whole ancien régime system was based on hierarchy, and any disruption of that hierarchy was a serious threat to the whole system.
Yes, it does make sense. Lineage meant everything. Ascribed status in life. Zero social mobility.

One more twist to the tale!

That's just my interpretation, but I think it is a solid hypothesis, based on what else we know about Le Neuf.
