comple[HISTORY] The Story of Old France by H. A. Guerber -ke

Post by **Kitty** » May 22nd, 2016, 6:51 am

here is the story of King Dagobert. This was a trip down memory lane, because the children's song that is mentioned in this section, I actually also learnt at school as a kid. It's called "Le bon roi Dagobert" and it's quite a funny song, depicting King Dagobert in all kinds of silly situations (like putting on his trousers the wrong way around) and Saint Eloi telling him how to do it right. Now I have the melody playing in my head LOL

I'll go on with Section 17 if I still may: The Saracens Checked

Recording time: 3:10 min.

Sorry, for the moment I will not claim any further chapters, because I started on my first solo and I don't want to overburden myself. But I will check in later if there are still sections left.

Thank you.

It is not my claim, but be aware that the indicated text

terminates prematurely at page 345 in the middle of 87 Madame de Maintenon

Could I be unassigned section 12 (The First Kings) and instead claim sections 19 – 21 (the ones about Charlemagne)?
