British dramatist, composer and pageant master Louis Napoleon Parker was born in Calvados, France, in 1852. His father, Charles Albert Parker, was a well-to-do American lawyer, a son of Isaac Parker, chief justice of Massachusetts. At the age of 39, in 1840, Charles left America with his much younger English wife, Elizabeth Moray, and started touring Europe. When Louis was born his father was, typically, absent from the home. His exhausted mother spoke no French and the birth of Louis the father was typically absent, while exhausted mother could not speak French. The infant seemed to be dying, so his parents' French neighbors named him.
