Queen Margot, or Marguerite de Valois - Alexandre Dumas

I am not proud, but I am happy; and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride. 

 

Alexandre Dumas

 

Alexandre Dumas (born July 24, 1802) was born Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie. He took the surname Dumas from his grandmother, an enslaved Haitian woman named Marie-Césette.
