Rule Britannia? 1834 World Chess Championship [Match 6, Game 8]

This is the eighth game of the sixth 1834 unofficial world chess championship match between Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais and Alexander McDonnell.

La Bourdonnais is winning 4 games to 3, and it's the first to win 5.
So, he only needs to win one more to take the match, whereas McDonnell needs two.

Today's guest commentator is a contemporary of the two chess greats, King Ghezo of Dahomey. But why is he so upset with McDonnell? As it turns out, something very special happened in 1833.
