The (Maybe?) Fake King of France: Karl Wilhelm Naurndorff

from Losers, Pretenders & Scoundrels · host Andrew Heaton, Andrew Young

Karl Wilhelm Naurndorff made a compelling case that he was the dauphin of France, spirited away by Talleyrand or some other insider after the death of his father, King Louis XVI. He was convincing enough that he kept getting stabbed, shot, and run out of countries, before winding up in the Netherlands as the head of pyrotechnics. But WAS he really the king? In this LPS episode, we settle it once and for all!
