A little about myself

My full name is Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord but you may call me Charles. I grew up in a wealthy family that had a large military background. I was supposed to continue the military legacy of the Counts of Talleyrand, but alas I was born a cripple. Despite my disadvantage my beloved Uncle encouraged me to get involved with the church. By 1779 I became a priest and a representative in 1780. Later, due to my family's influence I was appointed Bishop of Autun.

During the Revolution I represented members of the Frist Estate in the Estates General. Unlike most of the others in the Clergy I supported the Declaration of the Rights of Man (helped write it actually...your welcom people of France) and designed the Civil Constitution of the Clergy.

I have lived through the Revolution and Napoleon but I myself am not one for violence and mistreatment. I believe in being a good individual. "Regimes may fall and fail, but I do not"
