When my 3 year old granddaughter is fussy and doesn't want to go to sleep, all I have to do is put on one of your episodes and she happily lays down to listen and is out like a light. Thank you for this Oma magic!

[@bettyjames4155]

Too bad he didn't know how popular his poetry would become. Thank you, again, for another fascinating story.

[@ForgottenLives]

Thank you for watching as usual!

A poet & a scrapper . Thanks for this story😊

[@ForgottenLives]

Thank you for wathcing the video!

He sounds like a true Villian does old Villon. Great job again.

[@ForgottenLives]

He was! Thanks Crime Reel!

@The Crime Reel, I wish my Mum was still here, just her style of humour 🙏🏻🤣🤣

[@BriefCaseOfficial]

Another fantastic video about someone I had never heard of - Amazing, well done :)

[@ForgottenLives]

Cheers BC!

[@matthewwaters5317]

Brief Case sent me here and I’m so pleased he did your stories are great and in this one your French accent is excellent- Keep the videos coming

[@ForgottenLives]

Thanks XD

[@nledaig]

That's not a French accent.

[@matthewwaters5317]

My French next door neighbour says it's better than most non native speakers, but I appreciate you may not agree

[@nledaig]

It's not French - fact.@@matthewwaters5317

Tyvvm....love to see the pictures of these people & all your detailing history 😍

Thank you for the continued support!

[@cherylbrooks7005]

Great as always!

[@ChildfreeMatto]

Another awesome video Forgotten Lives. I really enjoy your videos because it shows that people never really change no matter how much times change. It's intriguing how life would of been in Medieval France? I could imagine it's hard, especially for the poor. I read your community post about being sick. That's terrible and I can't wait for your next video but take your time. Getting rest and back to full health is most important.🙏

[@rogerevans9214]

love them all yet again all

[@ForgottenLives]

Great to hear :D

[@lesliekendall5668]

Can you believe I can trace one side of my family back to a German man born in 1490?! His daughter became Lady Margery (Wiles) Raynere when she married my British ancestor.

[@ForgottenLives]

That's very cool!

[@janetcw9808]

That's brilliant x

[@KiKiabout]

Hope you are feeling better soon... Thank you for this... :)

[@susanhavens1660]

Interesting story FL. Thank you. It reminded me that Mozart enjoyed the company of the poor and street people. He partied with them at great cost to him. I'd ask you to do a story on Mozart but of course he isn't a forgotten life but few know his real story. My heart goes out to Villon. His life was difficult and he was unfairly treated.

[@ForgottenLives]

Perhaps in the future I could look into him, thanks for watching!

[@timothybaker1038]

I really enjoy the history lesson again thank you forgotten lives

As a french speaker I learned to read the old french langage. I can read his poems and I have a book that has some side notes for better understanding the old french.

[@woden22]

Would LOVE to read Villon in the original.

[@joycebowen8958]

I loved it! Also I have a suggestion- maybe do one on Mary Ester Videaux Marion.Wife of Brigadier General Francis "swamp fox " Marion American Revolutionary war hero?

[@bettyjames4155]

That sounds like a fascinating story!

[@joycebowen8958]

@@bettyjames4155 he does such fascinating and obscure lives when he asks for a suggestion I can never think of anyone! Everyone is familiar with her husband ( Mel Gibson the Patriot) but she did some pretty awesome things too! I only thought of it because I was discussing genealogy and we had touched on an ancestor who fought under him.

[@bettyjames4155]

@@joycebowen8958 That's a pretty cool discovery!

[@joycebowen8958]

@@bettyjames4155 I hope she isn't too difficult to research.she may be way overshadowed by her husband! Our family must've been proud of our ancestor.the maternal line passed down as members of the DOR.my grandmother was the last for some reason my mother and her sisters never joined.I love the bits you find when you research.

I am François, no source of cheer, Parisian born (Pontoise is near), And from the six-foot rope, I fear My neck will know the weight of my rear. François Villon (1431 - 1463?)

[@brittanywells1840]

Would it be possible to provide documentary about Marquis De Sade? Thank you. , have a blessed day.

[@ForgottenLives]

Looked into him sounds interesting! Just can't think of a catchy title :/

[@ForgottenLives]

But will likely cover him in the future

[@brittanywells1840]

@@ForgottenLives Well the term of S and M in , unfortunately but honestly, in the sex industry derives from his initials.I don't wish this to be offputting as he penned many novels while incarcerated for his deeds. I GREATLY appreciate your response. Thank you and admire all of your hard work and diligence in providing detaled accounts to Forgotten Lives! ✌

Ian Brady was originally going to use the his name as his fake name on his book ‘the gates of janus’ before he changened his mind about using an alias

[@cjillwrite8249]

Fascinating, sad he chose to be a criminal in spite of his literary successs and education.

Minor actions!! Theft and assault!!
