The Fall of Prince Florestan of Monaco

Zusatztext

"The Fall of Prince Florestan of Monaco" is a book by the British politician Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke. The 1874 book was one of satire and parody on a number of political characters of the day. It centered on a Cambridge-educated, half-Württemberg nephew of Charles III who comes to the throne by way of Charles III and the next two heirs being wiped out of existence. The upstart "Florestan II", a radical republican, boldly attempts to democratize Monaco, battling against the conservative royal protocol. He fails and is then forced to leave the country.
