Please Forgive Me ...

Hi Steph,
i wish to thank you and congratulate you on your effort to raise awareness of STD, I am all up for it and you have my unconditional support.
However, I feel your effort would be best supported with few historical facts instead of french bashing hearsay.
Napoleon, didn t die of stage3 syphilis. he died of arsenic poisoning while in exile in saint helen.
For all his bravado and charisma on the battle field, Napoleon was shy and clumsy with the ladies barely able to string 2 words together without stammering.
While not being officially documented, there are records from his years at the military academy written down by some of his fellow cadets where it is clearly stated that he couldn't t and wouldn't pay for entertainment .Him being a firm believer in family, legacy ....... and all that jazz.
So the odds of him catching something were very low to inexistent.

Now , If you really want to put the french royalty forward, I would suggest you mention louis 14. The sun king , the greatest king the french ever had. the longest ever reigning monarch in the history of the world. reigned for 72 Years. Died of old age, some say, probably true, none the less, he had stage 3 syphilis at his time of death.
which one made him kick the bucket? hard to say, personally, i d say a bit of both.
