The dude who recognized him had a micropenis
I bet this one wasnt in your history book

Not an expert but I read somewhere that the king refused to flee in a more modest carriage so they fled in one who had royal symbols n shit. That sounds incredibly retarded so I have no idea if its true.

I have heard that he stopped somewhere when they saw peasants, and the king went out to chat to them and he was repeatedly asking them whether they know who he is.

This whole shit must have been comedy gold.

They postponed they plan several times, which caused them to miss much better opportunities.

Also, they were fucking around and were late, so the royalist soldiers sent to meet them went home thinking that they bailed out again this time.
