This might be a little late but (continuing from the other thread), wasn't the queen in the three musketeers (Anne don't remember the last name, but I guess she was habsburg) the wife of Louis XIV? To me he is the most famous french king (Le roi Soleill, sp?). She couldn't be both his mother and his wife (although the habsburgs where used to some strange relations between thier family members as I recal).No Fighting here, this is the war room! -
Yes, Waku, you're right, she was Ana de Austria. Of course, Jay Bee was first 'cause he guessed the character, and he shall be remembered for generations to come as the winner.
Henrik, Ana (or Anne) of Austria, the queen of France in the Three Musketeers, was Loius XIII's wife, not Louis XIV, who was their son. Ana was also Philip III's daughter, and therefore, she was Philip IV's sister. She had an influential family, so to speak.
She said that quote to Cardinal Mazzarino."An intellectual is a man who doesn't know how to park a bike"

I allways thought his name was cardinal Mazarin (a mazarin is a kind of cockie in sweden so it is a rather funny name to me ) but that is what he was called (I think).

Okay, here is a new one. Nothing to do with the Habsburgs:
"I hope my work has contributed, if only minimally, to help bring down that stupid barrier that separates two countries which, along with Spain form one only nation ".

Hmm... a very interesting quote. But hard to guess, I'd say... I'll have to give it a thought..."An intellectual is a man who doesn't know how to park a bike"

)

The three countries that according to this guy form one only nation are France, Italy and Spain (the Western Roman Empire, remember?. Another hint: the guy who said this was a Frenchman (and it's not Napoleon)
(PS. Note for purists: At the time of the Romans, Portugal was part of Hispania/Spain)Comment

Don't know, the company's name is Frog City (SSI seems to have something to do whit it too), the map I was talking about is supposedly from 1882...
It's a great game, but I allways had doubts about Catalonia beeing a minor nation in itself, usually they ended up beeing occupied by Frabnce while "Spain" became an English "Colony" (that means vassal in this case). Portugal usually became Englis too, playing as german I conquered and annexed the entire map but Russia once, but that is another story...
