My focus is currently on a failed rebellion in the early years of Louis XIV&#8217;s reign, through the lens of a famous Prince whose reputation went from hero, to rebel, to traitor over the course of a few years. I&#8217;m particularly interested in the ways in which his rapid fall was portraye din popular political pamphlets, and how his image as a national savior and honorable nobleman decayed (or sometimes didn&#8217;t), and what that all meant for the development of royal absolutism under the Sun King.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Personal Life: \u00a0My family consists of one wife (Eileen Zeiger), and one 3-month old daughter (Vera Louise Zeiger). I&#8217;m a big soccer fan, and I try my best to play (although I think I missed my window to actually be any good). Also an avid disc sports, broomball, and general obscure-athletics enthusiast.
