My de France Heritage and King Louis XVI’s Role in American Independence
I believe the American Revolution owed its success to King Louis XVI’s support. He provided gunpowder, credit, and troops. At Yorktown, more French soldiers and sailors stood alongside Washington’s army than American continentals. I trace my lineage to the House of Bourbon through John Henri de France and Gaston, Duke of Orléans. Our tan skin reflects J-haplogroup heritage from the Near East and North Africa. A family portrait of King Louis shows olive skin and blond hair, highlighting centuries of mixing among Franks, Romans, Africans, and Near Easterns. I also argue that my research on Abraham’s true descendants sparked major religious and political conflicts. I maintain that only an Arab could claim patrilineal rights in Islam and only a de France could inherit the French throne and its Catholic legacy. My ancestors privately freed slaves, creating Creole communities in France’s colonies. I see genetics and history as intertwined threads that shape our shared past.
