Me About me: My name is Mike Luesin. My interests are mainly about history, especially the french Ancien Régime, the Palace of Versailles (Schloss Versailles), other royal residences and the french Kings and Queens, starting with Ludwig IX. (saint-louis) and ending with Ludwig XVI. and Marie Antoinette. I'm collecting historical sources and documents, like manuscripts (Manuskripte), publications (Publikationen), lawtexts like Lettres Patentes (Letters Patent), engravings (Kupferstiche, Stahlstiche, Holzschnitte), seals (Siegel), coins (Münzen), militaria and other originated at that time. Location: Dortmund, Germany.
