-====== Arch Prince Malavere de Felleville ======
-Tarvuist member of the French royal family. Malavere (1730-1780) was a flamboyant prince, who famously held 52 weddings for his first wife, Marie, and 104 for his second, Brigitte (Marie's sister). These were held every week for a period of three years.
-Naturally, with the same guests, and the same speeches week after week, it must have been very difficult for everyone to keep up the pretence that they were enjoying themselves.
-Malavere's cousin, Jean-Luc de Felleville wrote in his memoirs, that "//I had grown so tired of hearing the same speeches by the same men, that I had to find ways to dull the boredom. Thus I took to imagining that all the words I heard were different wines, and all the pauses between the words, fine brandies - and so by the end of all the oratory, I was quite drunk//". (Jean-Luc, Le Maitre de Felleville, Lourdes et Louise Presse 1801).
