Loved this video, never knew about her. Amazing woman

She truly was wonderful, thank you!

Great video, as always!

Thank you again!

@@TheRoyalWomen sorry about the mistake I made in the previous comment Louis de Breze known as practicly the ugliest man in France was Dianne de Poitier's husband

Very interesting! 👏 * Loved your channel description.

[@TheRoyalWomen]

Thank you!

Your videos really are effing flawless. I want you to teach me everything! I'm old, and just the last few years, I've had time to try to learn. I've always been fascinated by history. Your channel is such a lovely find, with your soft clear voice and your diligent and detailed research. Thank you for what you do. It is such a gift, I wish I could explain what it means to me. Just, thank you.

Thank you so much! I do what I do because of the comments of people like you, and this made my day! ❤️

My favorite French official mistress is Marie Angelique de Scorailess my favorite mistress world-wide is Louise de Kerouaile Douchess of Portsmouth (ho herself is French on her father's side)

[@pessimisticideas3075]

I'll have to look into the first mistress you mentioned. I've never heard of her before & you now have me curious. Thanks for that!

[@plamenivanov92]

@@pessimisticideas3075 she became a mistress of Louis XIV in unison whit De Montespan some people think Montespan killed her whit poison but her family had autopsy performed on Angelique and apparently she died of Tuberculosis

[@TheRoyalWomen]

I’ve heard of them both (I wrote an article on Louise’s enemy, Nell Gwyn) and I find them so interesting!

[@pessimisticideas3075]

I absolutely adore Nell Gwyn! She was always true to who she was. No fancy airs for Nell! And it seems like she spoke her mind!

[@TheRoyalWomen]

@@pessimisticideas3075 Me too! She's absolutely wonderful!

Great ...

[@TheRoyalWomen]

thank you!

[@plamenivanov92]

Her son Louis de Breze had the reputation of the ugliest man at court

[@missluna]

Interesting

[@beth7935]

Really interesting to find out where the tradition of official mistress came from & when it started. Agnes sounds like an interesting character too, tho I'm struggling to imagine a 15thc woman wandering around with her breasts uncovered- & the highest-status woman in the kingdom, no less. Just shows you can't make assumptions!

[@pessimisticideas3075]

Yeah, the whole breasts hanging out thing rather surprised me as well. I think that We tend to think of alot of our ancestors as more stuffy & proper than us, but I suppose that people are people no matter the time period.

[@TheRoyalWomen]

Exactly! I never could have imagined that someone like Agnes actually existed, but all her portraits defy our perceptions of women in the past.

[@barbarak2836]

@@pessimisticideas3075 If you read history, most people were definitely not "stuffy and proper." Certain parts of society were, then as now.

[@CalebErosa]

Is that a California accent?

[@m.k.2610]

It's hard to listen to then, almost every sentence has long accent on the last word...

[@TheRoyalWomen]

Sorry about that, I don’t realize I’m doing that while I speak. Trying to break that habit!

[@NinjaGrrrl7734]

@@TheRoyalWomen I think your voice is a lovely instrument, and your intonations may give me a vague impression of an accent, but it simply adds to the musicality of it all. I'm truly puzzled by this comment. I suppose it's a very personal thing, but I really dig your voice.

[@TheRoyalWomen]

Thank you so much! ❤️

Dude, why are you talking like that
