it is Vendee in French. The area was called "la Vendee vengee" by the revolutionnaries because they wanted to exact a revenge in the name of the republican ideal against the people living there . By the way, the people of Vendee did not get involved in a rebellion because they wanted to have a king, bu mostly because they refused the national military conscription. They were fighting for their freedom, like most part of France was at the time. These facts have been really occulted by the French state (and publishing the truth about that resulted in many Academics being censored or ostracized). Hence the interest of Junger for this subject. API ===== A.-P. H. Itel Hic tamen hanc mecum potera requiescere noctem Fronde super viridi. Super nobis mitia poma, Castaneae molles et pressi copia lactis; Et jam summa procul villarum culmina fumant, Majoresque cadunt altis de montibus umbrae. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
