…there were a bunch of families who owned and controlled everything.
They were known as “Nobility” and “Royalty”
And most of them were extremely wealthy by the standards of the time.
Many of these families still exist, such as the Habsburgs, the Hohenzollern, House of Orange-Nassau, and the Battenbergs (Anglicized to Mountbatten, AKA Windsor).
And they’re still extremely wealthy.
Reminder:
On Wednesday, July 13th and Thursday, July 14th, Route 30 under I-91 in Brattleboro will be closed from approximately 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM to ensure the safety of the traveling public while work occurs on the new bridge.
