Landgrave of Lorraine map found in the College of Honors Library

A promising map - appetizing, indeed.
Btw, a 'Da Vinci Code'-like interpretation of the lilies on the French Arms has them as a later distortion of original *frogs*: not because our repute of frog-eaters, but because the Salian Frank ancestors of Clovis came from a marshy area... Reportedly from a French 19th C. amateur historian / heraldrist. Would provide a funny 'imagi-native' heraldry, e.g; an ermine-like 'sowing' of tiny frogs instead of tiny lilies ....
Glad to hear the Reich Duke is back in the saddle. I suggest a pilgimage between the castles, with a large glass in hand.
A very attractive map - and welcome back to the Reich Duke! A good review of all the Reich Duke's splendid troops is called for with a 21 gun salute... :-)
All the best,
David

Like others, I rejoice at the advent of Herr Reichherzog, something the Lorrainers may not. And my compliments to your artistic corps, although I see they have discreetly omitted the customary dotted 'Proposed line of Annexation' from the map.
David Linienblatt von Tippelbruder, of NBA fame, was so amused that he sent me quasi-'pean' fields of golden frogs on purple (re. ancient emperors) and green (re. Napoleon -but he choose honeybees) backgrounds.
