Original Toronto Star caption: Sans souci palace near Cap Haitien in Haiti was the grandiose home of the mad monarch King Henri who had it built as an exact copy of a European mansion of the same name. In the house; which was destroyed in an earthquake in 1842; he entertained in royal style and created his own aristocracy; dubbing one follower the Duke of Lemonade. And in this house; from which you start by horseback for his Citadelle Laferriere; he died with a silver bullet through his brain. [Incomplete]
