Beschreibung
LEOPOLD I: (1790-1865) King of the Belgians 1831-65. An extraordinary A.L.S., with his initial L, three pages, 8vo, n.p., 11th August 1820, to Monsieur Favon ('Conseiller de Legation et Charge d'Affaire de la Cour de Saxe Coburg'), in French. The future King states that he has received his correspondent's letter, but before responding to its contents wishes to inform Favon of a related matter, 'je dois vous dire qui Madame Alexandre m'a ecrit du 3 d'aout. Elle me dit qui Mr. Charles Vaillant lui avait communique, que je comptais faire tous les sacrifices qu'elle desirait et que j'arrangerai tout &c. Je vous avais bien particulierement prie de ne pas me nommer dans toute cette affaire et je regrette beaucoup que Mr. Charles ait su quelque chose de cette transaction, et je vous prie lui demander comment il a pu avoir l'imprudence d'aller le conter a Mad. A. Les motifs qui m'ont engage, a me meler de cette affaire, etaient d'eviter un scandale et comme partie impartiale d'etre mediateur. Mais il serait assez extraordinaire de s'attendre que moi je paye pour les egarements de mon frere; il est bien visible que Mad. A. a change de ton dans l'idee qu'elle n'aurait qu'a demander pour etre paye. Je ne puis pas vous autoriser de lui donner cet argent avant de connaitre les vues de mon frere. Cependant vous pouvez lui donner 1000 francs sous condition qu'elle se conduise bien. Du reste ses menaces sont des balivernes, personne s'interessera beaucoup a l'histoire qu'elle compte publier, et si elle le fait vous lui direz en termes polis que cela fermerait a jamais la porte a tous les avantages qu'elle parait attendre et desirer. Je ne connais pas les lois francaises mais comme Mad. A. n'a pas ete mariee avec mon frere je desirerai savoir quelle reclamation elle peut legalement faire contre mon frere' (Translation: 'I must tell you that Madame Alaexandre wrote to me on the 3rd of August. She told me that Mr. Charles Vaillant had told her that I intended to make all the sacrifices she wanted and that I would arrange everything &c. I had particularly asked you not to name me in this whole affair and I very much regret that Mr. Charles knew anything of this transaction, and I beg you to ask him how he could have had the imprudence to go and tell Mad. A. The motives which induced me to interfere in this affair were to avoid a scandal and as an impartial party to be a mediator. But it would be quite extraordinary to expect me to pay for my brother's aberrations; it is clearly visible that Mad. A. changed her tone with the idea that she would only have to ask to be paid. I cannot authorise you to give her this money before knowing my brother's views. However, you can give her 1000 francs on the condition that she behaves well. Besides, her threats are nonsense, no one will take much interest in the story she intends to publish, and if she does, you will tell her in polite terms that it will forever close the door to all the advantages she seems to expect and desire. I don't know French laws, but as Mad. A. was not married to my brother, I would like to know what claim she can legally make against my brother'). Accompanied by a related envelope (although most likely not that which accompanied the present letter) addressed to Monsieur Flavon in Paris and bearing Leopold's red wax seal to the verso, with two postal cancellations dated November 1820, several months after the date of the letter. With a red ink annotation to the head of the first page of the letter, a minor neat split at the base of the central fold of the bifolium and with some light, minor staining. About VG, 2In the present letter Leopold refers to his elder brother, Ernest I (1784-1844) Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, father of Albert, Prince Consort, the husband of Queen Victoria.Pauline-Adelaide Alexandre Panam (1789-1840) 'Madame Alexandre'. Greek actress, the lover of Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.In October 1807 the reigning Duke Ernst and his younger brother, Prince Leopold, travelled to Paris to pay homage to Emperor Napoleon. It was whilst in Paris at this time that the Duke attended a ball and met the young fourteen year old beauty Pauline-Adelaide Alexandre Panam, also known as 'La Belle Greque', and thus began a love affair which would soon attain notoriety. Duke Ernst vigorously courted Madame Alexandre, as she would become to be known, offering her his protection, influence, and his fortune. In April 1808 the Duke returned to Coburg, and Madame Alexandre followed her lover, who had promised that his mother would receive her into her court circle. At the command of the Duke, Madame Alexandre travelled in male attire. Not long after their arrival in Coburg, Madame Alexandre realised that she had been fooled and to his grief the Duke was forced to tell her that his mother would not accept her into her circle because she was French. Nevertheless, she gave birth to Ernst's son in 1809, who was named after his father despite Alexandre being offered a pension if she refrained from identifying herself with the Duke. Madame Alexandre threatened to make details of the affair and pregnancy public, as evidenced in the present letter. Despite Prince Leopold's efforts as a mediator on behalf of his brother, in 1823 Madame Alexandre published her sensational memoir (in both French and English) under the title Memoirs of a Young Greek Lady; or, Madame Pauline Adelaide Alexandre Panam, versus His Most Serene Highness the reigning Prince of Saxe-Coburg. The memoir would later support further rumours and speculation about Duke Ernst's family when his legitimate youngest son, Albert, married Queen Victoria to become her consort.
