Andrei Vlasov ?
A Soviet general who defended Moscow in 1941, he got arrested by germany in 1942 and changed sides. He then created a Russian Liberation Army fighting alongside Nazi Germany.

Excellent guesses, but no bannanna yet.
-1857-1918

Yes, he held a number of important positions during WWI, and died of natural causes in 1918.
(Or, at least that's what they WANT us to think... :mellow:)
I'll keep the format :
- Place
- Scandal
- Debauchery
- Dumas
Devil's Island?
Via Dreyfus and J'accuse?
Monte Cristo?
Elba?
Île Sainte-Marguerite?
I really hope I'm thinking fo the right Dumas.
Chateu D'if?
Island of Monte Cristo?

Oh, by the way, my next 2 guesses are... :sneaky: :mellow:
Elba?
Île Sainte-Marguerite?
:laugh4: j/k
i lol'd!
You got the right Dumas but not the right place...
I'll let you look for now and will give a clue in a few hours...
Bragelonne?
Bastille?
Belle Isle?
Beaufort?
wow....all my answers start with "B"......interesting...
Wrong track... wrong period for most of those...
well......"Scandal" and "Debauchery", despite being pretty much the same thing with regards to a locations description.....Dumas will help a lot, and i guess location is required information.
but we need something other than "Scandal" and "Debauchery".those could be.........anywhere.
I'll add :
Paris
its a place in paris?
Yep
A place in Paris characterized by scandal and debauchery?
Oh yeah, that narrowed it down a lot.
j/k of course. :laugh4:
One more clue :
Two French princesses...
That should narrow it down... (and don't you get any ideas... )
place: Hotel de Nesle?
I'll consider this a good answer though it was in fact the Tour de Nesle (Tower of Nesle) part of the Louvre fortifications.
Legend has it that Queen Marguerite de Bougogne met her lovers' there and had them killed afterwards and thrown in cloth bags in the Seine which flowed under the walls.
Truth has it that two of Philippe IV daughters in law met their lovers' there. They were discovered. One of the daughters was strangled after having been sent away. The second became a nun. Their male counterparts, two brothers, were questioned, avowed their crimes and were flayed alive.
Alexandre Dumas wrote a play about these events.
anyone else notice that Tristuskhans post count is exactly 666?
please dont post anymore so we can all look at that post count number!!!
anyway: wow, that was......an odd question........never even heard of it.....
The odd questions are the best questions.
Next odd question please :beam:
It is rather famous in France and is the basis for or incorporated in several old and more recent movies (The Queen Margot being the latest IIRC)Quote:
