Madame de Pompadour

Wicked Women: The Podcast - Podcast autorstwa Grace Beattie

Kategorie:

Perhaps best known as the long-standing Royal Mistress for King Louis XV of France, Madame de Pompadour has become synonymous with a debauched period of French history. Known for her astounding beauty, wit, and charm, much of Madame de Pompadour's legacy is wrapped up in her supposed frivolity and manipulation. But who was the woman behind that glittering mask? Prof. Jones discusses a woman who deserves far more credit for her brilliant politicking and unique relationship with a womanizing king. Featured Guest: Prof. Collin Jones, a scholar of cultural and social history in 18th century France. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
