La Marseillaise des Blancs (Marseillaise of the Whites)- A Royalist Marseillaise

Replacing the vile, revolutionary, racist words of the Republican anthem les Armées catholique et royale (the Royal and Catholic Armies) of the Vendée and the Chouannerie marched to these words. Ironically, in light of subsequent history, they were also referred to as l'Armée Rouge (the Red Army) because of the emblem they wore sewn on their breast as they marched into battle.

Royal and Catholic Armies

The genocide of the Catholic Royalists in the West of France has neither been forgotten by the people of Brittany, Maine and the Vendée, nor has it ever been acknowledged by the Revolutionary government of France. The general commanding les bleus (the Revolutionary army) reported to Paris that his men had bayoneted the pregnant women of the rebellion so that they would give birth to no more 'Counter-Revolutionaries'. For that, he was decorated by the Revolutionary government!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
