Early life

Simon Deutz was born in 1802 in Koblenz, Germany.[1] He emigrated to Paris with his family in 1806.[1] His father, Emmanuel Deutz, served as the Chief Rabbi of France from 1810 to 1842.[2][3]

Career

Deutz was an Advisor to Marie-Caroline de Bourbon-Sicile, duchesse de Berry.[1] When she tried to regain her claim to the throne after the July Revolution in 1832, Deutz denounced her to King Louis Philippe I.[4]

Personal life

Deutz converted from Judaism to Roman Catholic in 1828,[1] and he received the Christian name Charles Gonzaga.[2] However, as early as 1832, he made requests to the Consistory of France to be able to convert back to judaism.[3] Initially denied, he eventually converted back to judaism after Adolphe Crémieux interceded in his favour.[3] Meanwhile, he got married in London and moved to the United States, and finally moved back to France.[3]

Death and legacy

Deutz died in 1852.[1] Professor Catherine Nicault of the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne has argued that Deutz's betrayal of Duchess Berry led to more antisemitism among the French aristocracy in the 19th century.[4]

gollark: Yes, and in order.
gollark: > WebSocket runs over TCP, so on that level @EJP 's answer applies. WebSocket can be "intercepted" by intermediaries (like WS proxies): those are allowed to reorder WebSocket control frames (i.e. WS pings/pongs), but not message frames when no WebSocket extension is in place. If there is a neogiated extension in place that in principle allows reordering, then an intermediary may only do so if it understands the extension and the reordering rules that apply.

gollark: No, they *will* arrive in order on a websocket.
