Please comment if you only listen to the stories or if you watch and look at the pictures!!
I love the pictures. Wonderful work researching this and finding the beautiful photographs and art.
I look at the pictures more often than not.
I don't know why anyone would comment if they haven't watched ur downloads don't get this I have enjoyed ur work but I'm unsubscribe now I believe that statement was arrogant you have quite a community of people but this is only my opinion goodbye and Goodluck
I watch the videos. I think the pictures add to the stories.
@@cherylleanne9755 He wasn't trying to sound arrogant. He only asked the question to see how many people listen instead of watching, kind of like one would listen to a podcast. He just wants to ascertain if he'll keep putting the pictures in the video or do something else with the video portion.
She found her way to live a joyous, shining life. And she transformed herself from a skittles maid to a wealthy consort. Much respect.
It is remarkable how the movies regularly repeat stories whilst many fabulous gems are neglected.
Make your own movies.
Her story would make a great movie. The lonely concubine x
Margaret Kerr 1
True.
Watch dangerous beauty. It's about veronica franco, a courtesan during the black plague era
“Peasant woman gets to have a nice life by being kind and she didn’t even have to marry rich” Finally, some wholesome history.
Make her into a disney princess lol
@@blyzecrux2358 👍🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm nice and kind and no one helps me lol!
Probably a barren peasant woman. I know, an awful thing to say. I agree. But please, to have such an active sex life during this time period? Only men have always been able to walk away from sexual promiscuity. Ugh. I am so sick of it.
@@CajunA79 you definitely are! We watch the same videos it seems, I've seen your comments, always with an air of kindness. You stick out to me because of your lovely user name. 😍
With the wealth she had, it’t not hard to guess she chose not to marry. She didn’t need a husband for financial support. On the contrary, she would have lost a lot had she married.
Sad but true ....
Maribel V-B...she did not have the inheritance needed to land a wealthy man - she was not a cunning woman, which is why she wasn't hated by the aristocratic women (these women chose to emulate her, instead). She was renowned for her beauty so others became curious (fame brought her to the attention of other men).
She was the epotimy of the independent woman of her time.
She was smart and savvy with brains and beauty.
She was married. For a short time.
@Jane Marsee y o u seem to be disgustingly jealous of this poor girl. I guess you didnt know that men shower women with money without recieving anything sexual in favour. That's the difference between a courtesan and prostitute in a normal sense.
Women have always been resourceful. I dont see her as being lonely, I can picture her being in love with being in love and loving life. I think she was happy, or rather, I'd like to think she was happy.
That's a great way to look at it!
Agreed. I actually love this story. She was given such a small set of resources and she did the absolute best with it she could, while keeping her own independence and autonomy. It's pretty inspirational, in my opinion.
She was content. Which was much more satisfying than happy.
Belle Acadien what are you talking about ? She had to sleep with old men for money and survival... how is that freedom or being resourceful or happy
@@danimotherofchickens479 sleeping with different people and, as a result, being able to make your own choices and stay independent, rather than being controlled by a husband (who, during these times, could turn out to be abusive/a cheater/a jerk without the woman being able to do anything about it) is actually pretty inspirational. Like I said above, she did the best she could with the resources she had. You don't have to like her story but a lot of us do.
She was definitely a very good natured woman . Blackmail by way of threatening to public past love letters , was one of the ways courtesans continued to extract money from their clients . By not doing so she showed the goodness of her heart .
She was a good friend of her boyfriends, that was her secret
WORD
From rags to riches as the saying goes. I think from an early age she was very aware of the limited choices of her current living circumstances. She had a certain quality within herself and a determination about her to make it in the world, especially back in those days with her family routes living in doomed poverty. It is not the easiest task to climb the ladder of financial prosperity, but she found her own way in life to manage. loved the story and really admire her, and ability to take all in her difficult stride.
Catherine sounds like a genuinely lovely woman. I hope she was happy in life, and that her memory was and remains a blessing.
I love this case of a historic Sugar Baby. Queen.
I am a sucker for the historical stories, I find them fascinating, your voice is very easy to listen to as well. Had to subscribe! Really looking forward to watching more of your videos..
Thanks very much! Welcome to the channel!
His voice is DREADFUL! !!
It's the reaon I can't watch!
@@francesquinn-escott744 why be so horrible thats the only voice he has
This is so excellent. Your extensive and fascinating research is only surpassed by your flawless presentation. An absolute delight.
Thank you very much!
It all depends if I have time, i listen and watch. If I'm getting ready for work, then I just listen. But always your voice is welcoming . . .
The images at the beginning is of another famous courtesan - Cora Pearl, not Skittles.
julijakeit you’re so right - that’s kind of unfortunate that they didn’t catch that
Spot on.
I was searching the comments for this 😅
Also searched the comments for this.
I was confused because I knew I saw that image when watching the Cora Pearl video
The 'it girl' goes way back
Loved hearing about this lady! Thank you for your time, it was so interesting!!
I listen and watch as I love to see pictures of the people you talk about...such an interesting life she had. Thank you for your hard work!
Thansk for letting me know and the support!
Such a warm description of a life lived fully by an extraordinary woman. Tailored her life with sn impecable instict, lived it so elegantly, so unapologetically.
So glad I came across this video. Thank you so much.
A true affluent and elegant woman with class. Learnt alot from this story. Thanks
Fantastic story, I’m intrigued to research more about her
Thanks! Would be great :)
A free spirit a big heart and did not care for gossip or name dropping a rare woman to find in any era!
I immensely enjoyed this video. There was no killing, no scandals. It was sweet. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your channel. Love history and the pics are awesome!
I am simply mesmerized with this story😳 listening and watching 👌
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Although you were writing of history, the dialog kept pulling me forward in the story. Your descriptions and photos really put the viewer into that timeline. What a fascinating subject!
Letting you know, I enjoy it all... narration and pictures. Keep up the good work bro.
Fabulous tale of an amazing woman of substance who climbed out of the gutter and made the best of herself .Respect to her. She had good qualities. Glad to have learnt about her and will try to find out more.Thankyou.
Thanks very much!
She could have married a man with a middle income and been a regular woman instead of selling her body to these Jeffrey Epstein types.. but yeah, I suppose she wanted nice things.
Sometimes I just listen. I like to put your videos on during my lunch break. I enjoy the pictures too but I mostly just listen. I really enjoy hearing about folk I never heard of before. :) Thank you.
Tyvvm... What an amazing life she lead! I always listen and watch the pictures. The pictures add to your reading & history. 😍
Thanks!
What a compassionate and intelligent woman. Loyalty is hard to come by during these types of relationships. She was smart to make that a part of her life. But, it sounds like a lonely life.
The first picture is actually Cora Pearl.
Thank you! I was wondering why all the photographs looked like different women.
@@ericspencer8093 The rest seem to be Skittles as there are only a few known pictures of her to begin with. But the first is Cora who was a vastly different type of companion than Skittles was.
@Royal S Probably just confusion as there are not many pictures of most of these woman from this time period.
Yes!! That's why I clicked on it. I was confused for a little bit
You have a relaxing voice..so if I'm trying to fall asleep, I just listen..but if I'm up or like at work..I watch
Okay great! Thanks for letting me know!
I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you!
I love that you are doing history videos! I definitely like pictures when available. I think your voice is pleasant, and people can be very critical but don’t be discouraged.
Enjoyed that a lot! Thanks! Perfect length too. I look at the pictures too! My Grandmother was born in Scotland in the late 1800s and makes me think of her ❤️
Great to hear! That's very nice :)
That was an amazing life she had. Thank you for telling it in such a lovely way!
Couldn't click quick enough i love listening and seeing the pictures thanks 4 the video and the history lesson have a great 2020 see u next week
Thanks very much :)
What a lovely and well - researched video! Thank you - I learned so much! And the background music is perfect and quiet
Thanks!!
Excellent. Thanks for the upload.
I wonder how she never had children, with all those partners🤔. Maybe a health issue. Anyway, i listen probably a little more than i watch, because i crochet at the same time. But i like having the photos to glance at too.
There would have been birth control and after morning stuff they used
A lot of the birth control products used during that time could make you sterile.
Probably syphillis. Would have been unusual for her not to have gotten the infection having sex with those men who are having sex with multiple women.
I was wondering that too, how she never had kids. Also, no stds..? especially in those times?.. i wonder how she didnt die of one
@@OzmaOfOzz most stds at the time aside from syphilis weren't deadly and plenty of people were known to live long lives despite the condition.
Thank you for this fascinating looking glass into the life of a lovely courtesan ---I have always thought that they were among the firts liberated women
living successfully beyond the conventions of their times...
Thank you. This was lovely.
I don’t know why but this story made me sad. I have no idea how she felt about her life but it just seems lonely.
Yes it must have been very lonely at times!
Thats exactly what i was thinking. She was envied but seemed to have no real friends. She sounds like a remarkable woman. I wish she had like minded or non judgemental women in her life x
She didnwhat she had to do to survive.. but did it with love and style.
I don't think she was lonely. If she was, she would have done what other mistresses have done and got nasty. She had the envy of many women who copied her. She also had many friends. She seemed to me too love the life for she was in full control. Not many women had that back then. I envy her for doing what she did, she let ppl talk without knowing the whole truth.
Besides, I am very lonely and I am married, i have been for 25 yrs.
Lonely idk..no commitment.. just sex for sale
fascinating bio ! I'll not soon "forget" it. Ty kind sir ,and btw i love the pictures ,so the more the merrier! She looks so elegant upon her horse, and even at the age of 40 she was a beautiful woman!
Thanks very much!
Very much enjoyed your presentation. WELL done and well said. My biggest compliment, I learned something new
Thank you!!
Happy Nee Year FL! A new video 🥰 Thank you x
Happy New year! Hope you enjoy!
Thank you for sharing with us her life and loves 🌸
I listen and look at the pictures. As always great video
Thanks!!
We need a movieeee omg!!
She rode in Hyde Park! On my first (and so far, only) visit to London, II took my jodhpurs, boots, and helmet with me so I could ride in Hyde park. I'm a "curvy" woman, just under the stables' weight limit, so they put me on a huge Shire horse. I definitely did not cut as elegant a figure as Catherine Walters, with her custom-tailored riding habit and 18-inch waist.
I'm sure you looked just as stylish!
She most likely didn’t have such a tiny waist, they used a lot of padding among other tricks to achieve their desired shape.
Thank You for this interesting biography. Makes me think about my great grandmother. She was from a aristocratic Family in English upbringing, but chose to marry beneath herself as they believed in English Life. She eventually married a man who’s family was of Wales origins. This brings back thoughts of my great Great Grandma
I’m cleaning and packing my house right now, so I’m watching but mostly listening
Simply amazing!!!
Seems like I'm already subscribed as it's just popped up on my home page.... I'm glad as I love such channels with amazing and sad stories.. ... Voice is smoothing.... Cannot wait to listen /watch as I do both to all your videos.
Thanks very much!!!
A true lady never tell her bussiness. I applaud her for that. Never leave any evidence that can hurt others. I enjoyed this one. A good friend told me once she used to keep a diary then she found out her mother was reading it. She stopped. Threw it away and never wrote down anything about her personal life. I agree💯. People will talk about you while you live and when you die if you leave letters or diaries it will only make the haters talk about you more.👍👏💯💜🦋🌠👋 love,respect and positivity always. Neita James. 🙂.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing her life and story.
Fascinating. Thank you.
My pleasure!!
Thank you for your videos!👍
Thanks for watching!
How interesting! My first video of yours, I look forward to watching more. Highly engaging!
Thanks very much!
Another interesting well researched video, I like seeing the photos as much as your narrative. Cheers from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My 3rd video tonight, it now being 3am . Being in stage 4 lockdown because of covid 19 & a curfew from 8pm to 5am & not being able to go anywhere but a 5 mile radius I will have plenty of time to watch more
Cheers to my British friend!!! Another top notch video!!🙏🙏🍻
Thank you very much :D
And lovely story, by the way. Good for her, I reckon. She made the best of what she had, in an honourable way: Loving, loyal, and discreet. What a fucking champion.
I enjoyed the details. And the pictures was just as interesting.
I found you on a suggestion after binging all of Weird History's vids. I like yours just as well, because sometimes you just get sick of hearing about rich royals. Love hearing and seeing stories about regular people
I love the stories and the pictures
I enjoyed this piece of history regarding a young girl coming from poverty and lack of education to invent herself so she could make a living. She didn't have to resort to begging and obviously she knew herself well and that in turn made her gentleman friends know who they were dealing with. A woman of honor to those who knew her well. Thanks for sharing From US
2nd vid I’ve watched on this channel , since I recently subbed, another great vid, always interesting and informative..
Thank you for your hardened awesome work. I really love this video I found it super interesting will done great commentary you have an excellent voice thank you for all your hard work again look forward to other videos big hugs April in California P. S I found this subject very fascinating
Thanks very much for the support!
I love stories like this, including the amazing pictures! Newly subscribed!
Welcome! Thanks very much!
I understand easily listening than looking or reading. I only listen to the videos. Great stories!
I love to both watch and listen. To see a photo or portrait of the person you're speaking of makes the story more real. Seeing pictures of others and venues relative to the story also aid in the storytelling. The thing I love best is to listen to the soothing tones of your voice. I enjoy listening to a few of your stories before bed to help me relax at the end of the day. The stories are very compelling, but they wouldn't be as good if someone else were telling them!I will be very sad should you ever decide to stop narrating and creating stories! Can't wait for your next offering! I wish you a wonderful and blessed New Year!
Thank you very much for the comment :D
I like the stories and the photos
What a truly fascinating women 💌⭐️💌 And she even has her own blue plaque 😍
Wonderful story of a really nice, genuine lady
she was very fortunate to have been well treated and cared for by the men who passed through her life
FL happy new year, what a story, thank you.
What a beauty. Enjoy both the pictures and your narration. (But not the most annoying pop up ads in the middle of the story).
Thanks! I understand I try not to be excessive but the money helps to pay of student debt :)
@@ForgottenLives - That's understandable. Best wishes from a former student loan debtor. Keep up the good work!
True G !!!! She is awesome , elegant and beautiful 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
👏 wonderful narration and story! ❤️
Thank you :D
Enjoyable, and interesting video.
Thank you, for the download, much appreciated.

That was very touching and beautifully done. Thank you
Thank you very much!
Well I for one am the type to listen to your videos as I'm going about cleaning, bathing, or writing or whatever it is I'm doing in the meantime. I put on my headphones and just push play. But when I do look I like to look at the pics. Like with this video....this woman was hugely interesting to me, so it was very cool to see her pics!! So the videos are very well recieved whether or not there are pics!!! Thanks for another interesting and well read and explained video-!!!! I'm one of your #1 fans!!😊
