We (Louis and I) were riding to Paris this morning and on the way a messenger asked us to halt. I hadn't the slightest idea why he did so but my pulse quickened as I heard him approach our cavalcade. He spoke to Louis and I with reverence and respect for our new authority.
The world has been turned upside down, King Louis VI, Louis the Fat, is dead. He died of dysentery on the first of August. Louis and I are King and Queen of France.
