Achilles Laviarde

Achille Laviarde was born with Rheims on November 7th 1841 and deceased with Paris on March 16th 1902. Buried in Rheims, Cemetery of the South, it was exhumed the September 15th 1976 to rest with Tourtoirac (the Dordogne).

The picturesque character that was Achille Laviarde was the son of a fabric manufacturer of Rheims, and passed his childhood to 33, rue du Barbâtre. In Rheims, Achille made his studies with the College, until 1859. From 18 to 23 years, he travels: Tour de France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, England, Algeria. His/her father dies in 1867. Achilles was then with the service of the Bey de Tunis. Of return in Europe, the duke of Acquaviva (?) the load of a mission for San Marino (!) II cost in Rheims, and deals to with it with policy in favor of the candidate imperialist Edouard Werlé, mayor of Rheims.

Known to support the committees Bonapartists, on January 15th, 1873, it assists, officially, with funerals of Napoleon III.

March 16th, 1874, “Chief” of the Delegation rémoise to the proclamation of Majority of the imperial Prince (On the photography of the grouping of the personalities gathered on this occasion with Camden House, one sees it there at the sides of Paul de Cassagnac).

In 1878, it deals with working Co-operatives. And it is on this date that the death of Orllie-Antoine Ier, will make circle its existence.

September 17th 1878 died with Tourtoirac (the Dordogne), S. Mr. Orrlie-Antoine Ier, the king d' Araucanie and of Patagonie in exile. The two men were in relation: Orllie-Antoine Ier had conferred on Achille Laviarde the titles of prince of Aucas, duke of Kialeon by an act of December 30th 1873 (act already contresigned by A.J. of Rosa). There were no family ties between them.

By an act passed to Paris on March 26th 1882, the nephew and heir designated to Orllie-Antoine Ier, “Monseigneur Adrien-Jean de Tounens” (1844 - 1889), renonça with its rights in favor of Achilles Laviarde. The act calls upon the “last wills” of Orllie-Antoine Ier without evoking a written will. The act are also contresigned per many those which had received a load of Orllie-Antoine Ist One thinks of Hugues Capet makes king by large Kingdom…

Gustave-Achilles Laviarde thus becomes Achille Ier or Aquillès Ier , king d' Araucanie and of Patagonie.

In the act of 1882, the new king has already two ministers Secretaries of State, the count Antoine Jimenez and Antoine-Hippolyte Cros, duke of Niacalel, making function of Minister of Justice, as well as a ministerial council.

He founds or perpetuates an order of knighthood: “the Constellation of the South”, follow-up of others: “the Steel Crown”, “the Star of the South”.

The “Gotha” records the semi-official existence of S.A.R. the prince of Araucanie and its advisers. The count Pecci, nephew of the pope Leon XIII, gives him “Majesty”!

Let us mention the name of a modest fellow-citizen of Laviarde, friend of the first hours, Emile Godret, known as Bazière, child of Barbâtre, which had accepted the load of a Ministry for the marine. Buffoonery how a Offenbach had been able to put in music, on a booklet of Meilhac and Halévy!

The epopee of Orrlie-Antoine Ier remained at this popular point in France which its successor could ensure the work of the institutions of this monarchy in exile.

The success of Achilles Ier was to obtain the exequatur for the consuls which represented it in various towns of Europe (London, Rome). Its consuls in Italy pass to have tried to swindle the order of the Salésiens but the king seems to have put there good order.

Achille Ier never went to America. Chilean Armando Braun Menéndez judges that there was between its predecessor Orllie-Antoine Ier and Achille Ier all the distance which separated a Don Quichotte from Sancho Pança and more exactly all that which separated a Godefroy de Bouillon from a Tartarin de Tarascon.

Achille Ier was married with the princess Dona Maria, Elisa-Alexandrine Guéry of his true name, born with Rheims (like its husband) on September 16th 1851 and died in 1893, which it held for a wife Morganatique: one does not know a child to them.
