H.D.Davray, a reliable eyewitness, has written "Souvenirs sur M.Krupp a Capri," _L'Europeen_, 29 November, 1902.

It is not, however, definitely agreed that Krupp was of fully developed homosexual temperament (see, e.g., _Jahrbuch f.

sexuelle Zwischenstufen_, Bd.

v, p.
1303 et seq.) An account of his life at Capri was published in the _Vorwaerts_, against which Krupp finally brought a libel action; but he died immediately afterward, it is widely believed, by his own hand, and the libel action was withdrawn.
[80] Madame, the mother of the Regent, in her letters of 12th October, 4th November, and 13th December, 1701, repeatedly makes this assertion, and implies that it was supported by the English who at that time came over to Paris with the English Ambassador, Lord Portland.

The King was very indifferent to women.
