Grave of French Dauphin Legend in New York Park
A long standing New York legend tells that the Dauphin Louis XVI, hidden after the French Revolution, lived incognito in Greenwich Village with a Swede guardian Count Axel Merger and an abbé. The tale links a hidden tomb on Hudson Street marked Leroy with royal lineage and a public park discovery that confirmed the story for historian Hemstreet, who notes a fish-carved tomb and a 1800s-era mystery.
