And yes the way that Caroline Mathilde was treated was terrible. But Christians life was no rose garden either, the master of the court Reventlow was reasponsoble for raising the young Prince and he was infamous for beating the crap out of everybody even the prince. He used his fists and cane on anyone that displeased him. Reventlow was noted by a foreign diplomat “to be as suited for his job as a donkey is to playing the organ.” Other people less poetic described him as “the cruelest man of his time.” Just the type you want to leave a newly orphaned 3 year old with. No wonder Christian was into BDSM and beating the crap out of random people in the streets at night. Also in his older years the King would be left tied to furniture til he soiled himself or obeyed orders. The master of the court and ministers were known to beat him on occasion if he disobeyed. In the end he was known as the “Signature King”

It seems Rosalie became recognizable very quickly because she knew how to get the attention of her audience. It is likely that she was succeeding at being the center of attention with her voice, beauty, and acting style, more so than other actors playing their roles. I think the satirical play was made to take her voice away from her because so many men were bent on her. It is likely, however, this satirical version of Rosalie only made her more popular and well-known, creating a lot of jealousy. I could imagine a very competitive atmosphere among women in France, back then, both on and off the stage. I could also imagine that often it was wealthy women that liked to put a stop to other women's acting careers, especially when they found that too many men were attenuating a pretty newcomer to the stage.

I love this series and watched just about all of them. I'm definitely a happy subscriber. That said, it is a disservice to history and to young women (and men) today to not acknowledge the circumstances surrounding the discriminations and oppression of women pre-twentieth century. ALL women were thought to be 'dumb' compared to men. Taken out of context it fuels bigotry and stereotypes. It saddens me to see just how many women in the comments have no idea just how oppressed their own great grandmothers were. Women in 1940's San Francisco CA, USA could not even legally rent their own apartments. It was illegal for a single woman to live on her own (unless she was widowed). In Europe during the so called enlightenment, women could not inherit, could not own property, could not go out in public, could not even enter public establishments like pubs, cafes, etc. - unless they were the peasants working there. I wish you would have gone a little deeper and examined this from her perspective in her time period. Women really do not need more divisive stereotypes, and we especially do not need the monumental mountains of discrimination and literal 'bricks to the teeth' (Sumerian law) for public speaking to be erased from the collective consciousness. As we see in Texas, women's hard fought freedoms are elusive and fleeting.

It was a very different time, then. A woman was open to all sorts of problems without a husband or father to protect her. Then sometimes the husband was the one the woman needed protection, from. As recent as 1960, women & children were considered to be property of their fathers & husbands. The practice of a woman, changing her name to the family name of the man she married? That practice began, to show that she was the property of the man she married. Although there are maladies in todays world, I'm happy that most countries have moved beyond the barbaric practices of the past.

I think it depends with the culture and for Europe this was common due to inheritance based on primogeniture that the eldest surviving child from the paternal side kept the estate. It was also to prevent the wife’s family from reclaiming the Dowry (women’s inheritance to take to her marital family). But In Asian cultures especially Muslims, women rarely changed their last names and their inheritance is passed on from Mother to daughter. However, since the industrial revolution things changed drastically and traditions that once worked couldn’t fit in a modern society since both sexes were expected to contribute to the economy to make a sustainable living.

People willing handing over wealth and power for sure. It doesnt take away the option of working hard, while also makes you appreciate what you've gained since you weren't born to it You?

Thank you for great history excursions!

Great video. Rosalie lived life to the fullest and in the end it was the "little dumb blond" that had the last laugh. She was one of the lucky courtesans.

Ahhh a bit of before bedtime goodness 👍 Peace Charlie 🇬🇧

Thank you kindly :D

I was fascinated by this story and it was one of histories exceptional ones about courtesans I seem to have not heard before. I congratulate the narrator for well spoken dialogue.

She sounds pretty smart to me considering what other women in her position at the time went through.

I noticed when he would say certain names and things his inner french accent came out! Lol I love it

This was really fascinating. Thanks

Another great video. Never heard of any of these women . Great research mate a fan from Australia. Don't you just love the luscious paintings. Wow she lived to a great age.

Thank you for this quite interesting story of her life All the money she achieved, yet died alone blind is quite sad No family of her own, I’d rather have my family than all the wealth in the world

Historical drama 😂 I'm listening to historical tabloids 😂😂😂

I think you missed the point it wasn’t that she still had admirers at an old due to her looks but because of her intelligence and brilliant. She was a free woman that inspired the men around her and made a fortune on what she could in order to be independent that’s a brave choice.

Excellent documentary!

I agree with Sasha and Mack dog. She was smart and wise besides being bold and beautiful! Most wise people do pause before they speak. This presentation was well done. Thank you for producing these succinct, interesting & entertaining clips of history.
