Well done. My only issue is that the picture at the top of the page is not Marguerite de Valois. The other images of her at the bottom of the post are, indeed, Marguerite. If the first image at the top of the page could be removed and replaced with one from the bottom (all of which are accurate0, it would increase th page's credibilty with nerds who know Marguerite when they see her. Thanks again for a lot of great research.Elisabeth Waugamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925746120299697403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881399530011627215.post-10371133832008831232020-06-16T02:32:21.580-07:002020-06-16T02:32:21.580-07:00Surprinsingly little is mentioned here of Richelie...Surprinsingly little is mentioned here of Richelieu's affair with the Duchesse de Berry, the Regent's eldest daughter. It's very unlikely that it took place in 1719 since the ill-famed Duchesse was then pregnant and gave birth at the end of March, her delivery being so difficult that she almost died in labour then got pregnant again in May during her convalescence at the castle of Meudon and died on 21 July 1719. The Duchesse became a widow in 1714 but it's only after the death of Louis XIV and the coming to power of her father that she gave free reign to her torrid eroticism, accumulated lovers and hid several pregnancies.
