Ernest Perron
Ernest Perron (29 June 1908 – 1961) was a Swiss courtier in Iran during the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Perron had been a servant in a college at Rolle, Switzerland, where he taught the future Shah to appreciate French literature. When Mohammad Reza returned to Iran, he took Perron with him, eventually appointing him as his private secretary, and they enjoyed an exceptionally close friendship, which puzzled and offended many. Perron aroused much enmity as an upstart servant with delusions of grandeur, as well as being overtly homosexual.

A perron (in French language, French; also ) is kind of stone column, often decorated with a globus cruciger, cross-bearing orb (''globus cruciger'') common to many towns and cities belonging to the erstwhile Prince-Bishopric of Liège (980-1795) in modern-day Belgium. They were primarily built in the so-called Good Cities (''Bonnes Villes'' or ''Goede Steden'') that formed the primary urban settlements in the polity. Many survive, although not in their original form. Perrons were also built in the smaller Principality of Stavelot-Malmedy.

However, the actual origin of the symbols of the column is unclear, with analogies made with the ancient Pillory, pillories. In 1467, after recapturing the rebellious city of Liège, Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgund ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
