Bright and joking : angelwee
-
Humbert de Laubespin had the temper of his mother (Louise) rather than of his father (Théodule).
He pursued bright studies at Namur and Brussels (ULB), as a straight A student.
-
He was the youngest Diplomatic Minister of his generation and died unfortunately when he was 49.
-
He was representing Belgium in Luxemburg after the First World War and negotiated the Belgo-Luxemburgian Union.
-
His wife, Odette Lagarde, a French woman by birth, became Belgian by marriage.
-
She was pursued by the French Ambassadress,
who found unacceptable that Odette helped Humbert and did not let France be influential in Luxemburg.
-
Odette had to recall her that she had become Belgian.
-
Humbert was facetious. One day during an official dinner in Luxemburg, µ
he asked his neighbor: "Pass me some of this angelwee."
Indeed, many vintages names are ending in Ange(l) in the Grand Duchy!
