Hello! Do you have any information on Lafayette and/or Adrienne de Lafayette's imprisonment?

Dear @mxtallmadge,

yes, I do indeed have some information about La Fayette’s and Adrienne’s time in prison. I have made a series of post about this time – the series is not yet complete and some posts need a bit of editing, but here are the first eight posts:

La Fayette in Prison – Overview

La Fayette in Prison Part 1 – Wesel

La Fayette in Prison – Part 2 – Magdeburg

La Fayette in Prison – Part 3 – Neisse

La Fayette in Prison – Part 4.1 – Adrienne in the Auvergne

La Fayette in Prison – Part 4.2 – Adrienne in Paris

La Fayette in Prison – Part 5 – Georges in America

La Fayette in Prison – Part 6 – Olmütz

I also have a tag “la fayette in prison” or “lafayette in prison” that I use for posts that are in relation to La Fayette imprisonment. Some deal more directly with the subject, some less directly but I think you might think it useful to have a look at the posts tagged thus. There is also the “lafayette in exile” tag that might interest you.

Lastly, if you have any specific question, just let me know and I will do my best to give you an answer. :-)

I hope that helped and that you have/had a great day!

X-Wing Over Wesel

A highly cinematic, ultra-realistic 8K scene of a lone X-Wing starfighter flying at high speed over the city of Wesel, Germany, at dusk. The spacecraft is captured from a low angle as it roars over the skyline, banking slightly, its S-foils locked in attack position. The engines glow intensely, casting orange reflections on the glass façades of the surrounding buildings. Below, the Wesel Cathedral rises dramatically into the sky, bathed in golden twilight and long shadows. The spires appear enormous and ancient beneath the futuristic silhouette of the starfighter. The sky is painted with dramatic clouds, lit from beneath by the setting sun. Light rays pierce through gaps, scattering against the X-Wing’s hull. Tiny embers and particles float in the air, adding scale and movement. The scene is packed with tension, as if moments before a larger event. Rendered in stunning detail with atmospheric depth, sharp reflections, lens flares, cinematic contrast — a surreal fusion of classic sci-fi and real-world Europe.

Jenny läuft in die Top6

Vier Seidenraupen haben sich am vergangenen Freitag auf den Weg zum 16. Moonlight-Lauf der Lauffreunde Wesel gemacht. Der Wettkampf, bei dem insgesamt sieben Kilometer auf zwei Runden zurückgelegt werden mussten, lockte erneut viele Läufer an den Auesee nahe des Rheins. Jenny Laschet durfte sich am Ende nicht nur nach 30:22 min über einen sechsten Platz (Gesamt 46.) freuen, sondern erhielt dafür…

Do yourself a favor and rewatch the Star Wars prequels with high attention to detail, because this moment is a MASTERPIECE, as if the entire scene leading up to this isn't the most hilarious yet competent shitshow I've ever seen, this is the moment that I really lose my shit every time. Anakin has leapt off the speeder in the middle of Coruscant traffic, fallen dozens of stories through the air while in full spread eagle pose, lands on the tail of Zam's speeder, desperately crawls his way up the ship while she barrel rolls to try to dislodge him and he ragdolls his way almost entirely off it, so she's shooting at him while he's hanging off the front of the ship--THEY ARE SILL IN THE MIDDLE OF CORUSCANT TRAFFIC, I MIGHT ADD--until he finally manages to wiggle worm his way onto the top of the ship and then gets out his lightsaber and you expect him to cut a cool hole in the roof, kind of like what Qui-Gon did on the Trade Federation's ship BUT NO this absolute beautiful tropical fish of a Jedi just STABS HIS LIGHTSABER INTO THE COCKPIT AND SWISHES IT AROUND LIKE HE JUST PUNCHED A STRAW INTO BOBA TEA TO FISH OUT THE LAST PEARL, like his lightsaber technique is straight up the exact same way I would stir cream into my coffee, just STAB AND SWIRL IT AROUND, except with a DEADLY PLASMA CHAINSAW that is the lightsaber and you can't even argue because a) that's fucking hilarious, I cry with laughter every time, and b) if he hadn't lost his lightsaber TWO SECONDS LATER that would actually be really deadly, it's STUPID but imagine being in a cockpit and some asshole Jedi just STABS THEIR LIGHTSABER IN THERE WITH YOU AND STARTS WIGGLING IT AROUND, you would DIE and it wouldn't even be a cool lightsaber death! Attack of the Clones is a masterpiece, I'm not hearing any further arguments.
