A brief oral biography of Bernard de Marigny, a larger-than-life figure in New Orleans history, who definitely needs his own Showtime original series.

"Foe-burg," cher, it's pronounced. not "fow."

[@darianjofficial]

Omg idk how I ended up here but I’m not complaining. This guy is hilarious and as a huge obsessor over New Orleans, I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of these videos and it’s so great.

[@cellphonecam1]

I think part of the reason I enjoy your videos so much is because I was also the weird kid reenacting sword fights and imagining pistol duels and imagining myself as a swashbuckler or a hammer wielding Goliath.

[@HannibalReborn]

Funny and informative, this should have more views.

[@lisellesloan3191]

I think you should do a Showtime series on him and also the legendary Baroness Michaela Pontalba, to whom we owe so much! In addition, the NOLA ghost stories, so steeped in our history, would make a great mini-series, as our ghost tours are the most popular of all our tours.

I'm enjoying these videos a lot, thanks and keep it up.

[@SubtleBreakdown]

glad i found your channel, I also am a lover of history, born and raised in MA and moved to a southern state.....keep up the good work man!

[@jwrush]

Great video friend! Keep up the excellent work.

Great video!

Amazing facts

[@denysbeecher5629]

We have two perpendicular streets here in town named Nelson and Trafalgar. I always thought it would have been nice of them to have Nelson reach Trafalgar but stop there. Alas, they don't actually meet.

Me: I have watched all Atun Shei content

[@MikeJohnson-lj5vy]

Thank you Attn-Shei, appreciate your work?

[@marignyhistory3988]

Hope this whets the appetite for more about this remarkable man. "The Faubourg Marigny of New Orleans: A History" was published by LSU Press in October 2018 and has the most factual and complete account of Bernard's life yet written.

If I could go back in time I'd hang out with this dude sounds awesome

My 11th generation grandfather, mother’s side. I grew up not knowing this until I was almost 30

[@MaybeRayy]

Sounds like this guy had an insane life!

[@patron8597]

Just the idea of a duel fought with sledgehammers sounds pretty metal though.

[@promiscuous5761]

Thank you..
