Princes of Courtenay Rights Fight in Protest Against Bourbon Claim
In a December 20 protest dated 1715, Charles and Roger de Courtenay renew claims of legitimate male-line descent from Peter of France, seeking recognition as Princes of the Blood. They recount offers from Richelieu and Mecatina and press the king to uphold birth rights amid Bourbon disputes. Reports from Drumfries describe a security scare after rebels near Edinburgh were dispersed, with local forces capturing men and arms as they halted plans to crown the pretender.
