LOUIS XI OF FRANCE AND CHARLES I OF LORRAINE : passionate hunters with dogs.

MADAME de POMPIDOU and MARIE ANTOINETTE :

CHIEF M'TESA OF THE WAGANDA : Uganda- Described by Captain Speke as being accompanied by a white dog, a spear, a shield and a woman- the trappings of royalty because eight generations earlier a hunter called UGANDA came from Unyoro with a spear, shield, woman and pack of dogs and founded the kingdom of WAGANDA.
