Mystery Man in New York Lived Like Royal exile in 1808
A French gentleman named Muller settled in Madison County New York in 1808, buying 2700 acres and building a grand chateau on a hill in George Town. He wore feudal French attire, traveled with a French retinue and a physician, and discussed Bonaparte’s fate with evident glee when Napoleon suffered defeats. Many believed Muller was a Bourbon prince, possibly the Count of Artois later known as Charles X, who hid his identity for years, leaving New York for Europe in 1813 and returning after Waterloo to claim the throne in 1824, ending his life in 1830.
