Not really the case. The House of Bourbon was far from incestuous, all things considered. The Habsburgs model did not apply in France. Obviously, there were a few first and second cousins marriages here and there (before Louis XIV), but plenty of marriages with foreign princesses and princes to help renew the DNA. The Bourbon branch looks pretty healthy, as far as royal trees go.

The Bourbons didn't marry between uncles and nieces. I obviously didn't say that their line was a perfectly healthy one; just that as far as royal lines went, they were pretty okay. Things get a bit more iffy as time goes by, but Anne of Austria was the first Habsburg to join the royal Bourbon family at that point.

Louise did the right thing by leaving, scorning Montespan for her arrogant belief that Louise was so weak as to not want to leave so Montespan could continue to abuse and bully her. If anything, Montespan should have looked to Louise as a warning to what would eventually happen to her, but she didn't. Louise certainly didn't do anything wrong, and she showed it by living her life as best she could even when she was dogged by guilt. She certainly lived a better life then Montespan by not making any enemies in court outside of simply being the mistress. She caused no scandals. All she wanted was Louis' love, but knew well enough to not cause trouble, even showing her regret towards the Queen.

The chaos between (straight) Louis, his bi sister in law who he was also sleeping with and his gay brother and the many, many, many lovers is just too much to make sense of in ur head

Established Titles is an iffy sponsorship. They've apparently told KZreadrs the title Lord/Lady can be used on official documents when it cannot. It's the same as the "buying and naming a star after yourself" thing. No official entity would ever recognize it haha. Not to mention I've heard they're disliked by the locals in Scotland, can't remember why, I'd have to look it back up Some quotes I found interesting after looking up this company and a very similar one named Highland Titles, which works pretty much identically to Established Titles "The environment sector in Scotland generally does not hold a high opinion of the work carried out by Highland Titles,” an anonymous source at a major Scottish NGO tells Euronews Green. “But their reputation for running to court means that people don’t feel comfortable speaking out. “Scots with a wider cultural awareness find the whole proposition of selling titles ludicrous and insulting. As you would find with any brief trawl through social media on the subject.” Director of Highland Titles Douglas Wilson responded to Euronews Green that the company had never been to court about anything. But our off-record conversations with other environmental groups and individuals in Scotland point to the company having a hostile reputation. It’s easy to understand the company’s high profits. Tree-planting schemes tap into our eco-anxiety; combining such promises with a novelty gift pack is well-tailored to UK, US and Australian consumers. But as we’ve previously reported, it’s important to do the homework on these companies.

As an Athénaïs I can testify that you finally said her name correctly (unlike that terrible Versailles series). The Montespan was awful but the most famous woman with my name. She was always the antagonist of all those French young adult novels set in Versailles for teenage girls.

I had a friend who dated a famously attractive athlete and though she trusted him, they couldn’t go out in public without having women come up to them and basically proposition him as though she wasn’t sitting right there. They eventually broke up. 😞 Versailles sounds like it would give me panic attacks.

I had read in a biographical book on Madame de Maintenon that MarieTherese had only learned a few weeks before her death of Maintenon's secret affair with the king and when she gives her the ring it was before to know and just to thank her for it having reconciled with her husband the king! she didn't know their relation. Not to tell her : OK you can get married as soon as... Especially since it was unthinkable and almost impossible for a king to marry a woman below his rank. So the queen can't have just this idea of mariage. Sorry for the traduction it's Google

Good review!

loved this content

I’m upset that the TV series “Versailles” portrayed Madame de Maintenon the way they did. If they portrayed her as she historically was (and maybe didn’t go with the “man in the iron mask” narrative the way they did), they could’ve had a fourth season if they wanted to.

Yay new video!! ❤

Sadly I feel like most men even in contemporary history if given the chance would have many mistresses

many/most I bet would deny it

Has there been an episode about madame de pompadour yet? I would love one about her!

Louis XIV was indeed lucky to have been born before the outbreak of AIDS.

They did have syphilis though back then, so definitely not risk free...

There must have been a lot of itchy crotches at Versailles, though.

The sound of your voice is more than enough for me.

Better than a soap opera

I enjoyed this!!! I see myself in Louise.

This makes me want to see Lindsay do a series on all the French kings!

Now we need a video on Louis XIV brother's (male) lovers.

@@lilymarinovic1644 I meen Madam de Pompadour could get an episode of her own. Oddly enougth the King who probably had wrong his wife the least Louis XVI, is the the remebered as a tyrant, preatty crazy to think than with a grandfather and a great granfather like that he could not bring himself to consumate his blessed union with Marie Antoniette for whatever reason.

Boom! So that's where "stupid as a basket" comes from -- I've heard historians use that phrase to refer to later mistress Madame du Barry, and here's the genesis of it, from the primary accounts of an earlier relative of the King.

What a grating voice on what could have been an enjoyable recount of Louis' mistresses... I had to go straight to subtitles and turn off the sound!
