29848: Horelle (reply) Re: 29842: Jenson: (query) "mazulitapan" (fwd)
From: Guy Horelle <g.guyhorelle@knology.net>
To make a long story short., it could be because the family DUPLEIK
famous/infamous., notorious!! to say the least was the chief engineer of the
French establisment in India,. with his power reflecting all away to the
french holdings in the new world..the 'French Antilles' his story is just
extraordinary...he died in Paris under Louis de XV after the king of France had
recall bck to France and really under a very stupid arrangement gave away their
holding in India to the British....he died a poor man in Paris....but to return
to your query...He was indeed a brilliant man but a tyrant and a ferocious at
that...their is a Medaliion in the Musee du Louvre in Paris a copy of the
original I believe that may explain the connection to Haiti...(this is pure
speculation but quite possible) he was also a vain man and had a huge banner
made of white silk close to 13 feet with a golden sun. in the back of the
Medallion that shows the ' Etendard!!' is inscribe with the following 'Moussa
fersing debite in loco constitutus' translate to french lousely Muzzafer
-Zing nomme au poste merite...anyway at that time when he left India He took
with him beside his family and friends a whole cohorts of his guard..and some
of them quite logically enroll with the french navy to the new world.They were
quite ferocious in their ways....and of course weared a white scarff of silk
made from Mazulitapan!! no doubt they end up some of them at least as cheftain
of the Plantations in Haiti and elsewhere carrying with them their ways with
slaves 'and earlier form of the ' Legion' in Africa ., Algier, Maroc
etc....with their special cap and uniform in the sahara....so thus...the
Mazulitapan was the only way that the slaves could describe to the Marron what
they look like......by the way DUPLEIX died in Paris the 11th of November
1763....later with the help of others and families France finally understood
what this was all about restore his name much later ....well it's a nice story
that I believe has legs....I compress the story as much as possible to get to
your a possible answer...guy
