Ivory model of the French ship of the line Royal Louis, by Louis Charles Vincent Belleteste (1757-1819), Dieppe c. 1814

When she was launched in 1810 in the shipyards of Toulon, she was named Imperial. She was then part of the series of standardised admiralty ships launched by Louis XVI in September 1785, of which 16 were to be built. This ship of the line had 130 guns and was one of the most important elements of the fleet of Napoleon I. After the restoration of the monarchy in 1814, the ship was renamed Royal Louis before becoming Imperial again during the Hundred Days.

After this episode, the ship, which now finally bore its monarchist name, was used continuously until she was broken up in 1825.

Hey, just wondering if you know any fic where it’s Royalty Louis x Stylist Harry? I’ve seen some people talk about it, but there’s no other info on it.

Why Can’t It Be Like That by taggiecb:

Summary: Louis Tomlinson, head of his local hospital’s charity fund, suddenly finds himself in the heart of the Royal family when his mother marries the third son of the reigning monarch. Such an upset in lifestyle brings a lot of changes for Louis, one of them being the need for a stylist.

Enter Harry Styles, a cutting edge fashion stylist who loves his job and prides himself on his passion. The first time he sees Louis Tomlinson on the cover of a tabloid he wants to dress him, style him, make him as beautiful as Harry knows he could be. When he’s hired to do just that, he knows this will be a perfect partnership. That is, until he actually meets the man.

A fashion AU with a royal twist, where Louis doesn’t need a stylist, Harry’s thrilled to have a real life Barbie doll, and they’re both very wrong about each other.

Le Royal Louis by  Maître Rodolphe in : Histoire de la Marine française illustrée, Larousse, 1934

The Royal Louis was a ship of the line of the French Royal Navy. She was built in Toulon between 1666 and 1669 under the direction of Rodolphe Gédéon and served as the flagship of the French fleet in the Mediterranean.

Although she was intended at the time of her construction to be the flagship of François de Bourbon-Vendome, Duc de Beaufort, for the Crete campaign of 1669, she was not completed in time and was not used until 1677. From December 1676 to April 1677 she was refitted at Toulon; four of her 24-pounder guns were replaced by four 36-pounders on the lower deck, two more 18-pounders were added to the middle deck and two 6-pounders were removed from her quarterdeck, leaving her a ship of 104 guns.

On 11 May 1677, under the command of Abraham Duquesne, she sailed from Toulon to Messina in Sicily at the head of a small squadron to support the rebels against Spanish rule. After returning to Toulon, she was not used again until she was withdrawn from service in 1691. She was broken up in Toulon in 1697 after being replaced by a new first rate ship of the same name.
