Worldview
Believes in the inherent superiority of the aristocracy and is resistant to the changing social and political landscape. He is more concerned with maintaining appearances and enjoying life than with grappling with complex issues.

In Their Own Words
"Ah, Madame, we have all been killed in our masters' service!'--'How rejoiced I am,' replied the Queen, 'that you have revived to tell me of it."
"I do not like those love matches between young people whose brains are excited by the flames of the imagination. I had other views for my sister. Who knows what high alliance I might have procured for her!"
"But I am an ancestor."
