Translation of a Duc de Fitz James Letter to the French King
A lengthy letter from the Duc de Fitz James, descendant of Marshal Berwick, to the King of France dated Geneva 10 August 1790. He requests the king accept an oath of fidelity from himself and his noble family to serve the French crown, pledging to shed their blood for France and asserting shared blood and loyalties. He urges the king to place the oath so future generations can sign, proclaiming that great souls cannot be destroyed by misfortune and declaring all is lost but honour.
