The thing that was off the most were the king's daughters. They were very different from the movie and the king was a far worse person. Basically: he couldn't be bothered to provide for his daughters in their childhood, leading to the most horrible upbringing in an environment utterly unsuitable for children where they were mistreated, because raising them or giving them a dowry was too expensive for his taste. But then he kept showering his mistresses with money. Basically the princesses disliked the mistresses with good reason, but they didn't particularly do much villain like stuff. The mistresses themselves hardly had a say in much of anything, really. They were flattered a lot, but also had a lot of enemies due to their questionable influence over the king, jealousy and disapproval. And Marie Antoinette was just acting like a young teen queen bee.
She was portrayed as the exact opposite of the real Comtesse Du Barry who was known for her kindness, perfect manners & she was ash blonde, wheras Sophia Coppola had her with black hair, rude & burping 🙀 Louis XV would never have a mistress who would embarrass him 👑
Marie Antoinette didn't dislike Du Barry because of her peasant background, she was rather sympathetic and interested in the common folk, even adopting some. It was her sketchy background as a courtesan Marie didn't like
Yes growing up in the Viennese court would have made her more sympathetic to the lower classes but the opposite to a "whore". It's one of the many interesting things about Marie Antoinette how her upbringin in Austria vs her life in French court was such a contrast. Things could have been very different if Versailles was less insulated than Austrian court.
Actually it was the fact that a 'commoner whore' essentially had an official position as a mistress and was free to go to festivities instead of being hidden away. A noble lady who happened to sleep with a king? Okay, fine, as long as people pretended it wasn't happening. An officially recognised mistress position? That was extremely shocking. Imagine your company having a corruption manager whose job is to pay the right people to make sure the company gets good government deals, and one of the job requirements was to have jail time for fraud on their record. That's kind of what an officially recognised commoner mistress with a history as a courtesan must have seemed like to a princess from the austrian court with its much stricter moral rules.
Hmm IDK there is that famous quote about bread. ..'If the peasants have no bread, let them eat cake'. I don't think she had much of an idea about how the other half lived.
In this moment, she probably regretted not taking all the chances given to her to escape her death. She could have stayed in England or took the chance to flee back to England. Lesson learned: Never risk your life.
She made about 4 trips to London on the excuse of getting her stolen jewels back, when in reality she was giving money to emigres. On her last trip, Pitt as well as her friends begged her not to return.
In defense of Marie Antoinette, she mainly turned against du Barry due to Louis 15ths daughters (mainly Adelaide) who despised du Barry. It was Adelaide who had convinced her to act rudely to du Barry. After Marie Antoinette acknowledged her by being slightly kind, Adelaide and the much of Marie's husbands aunts turned against her. Adelaide was the first person to call her 'the Austrian'.
Louis XV’s wife was alive during most of Mme. Pompadour’s long reign as Official Mistress but his boring wife died before Pompadour’s death. 4 years later he met & fell in love with Du Barry- so she didn’t break up a marriage.
Yes that's right. For anyone else that's stumped by her name, most know her as Comtesse Du Barry or Madame Du Barry and to say Marie didn't like her would be an understatement lol
@@samanthabrooks505 It's true That Marie Antoinette disliked her but MA had many people in her ear, telling her how awful Du Barry supposedly was. MA was a teenager at the time and likely was easily influenced by all the negative and shocking things she was told about Jeanne.
Thank you from Atlanta, GA, USA for this concise and beautifully presented piece during this time of total chaos. It's reassuring to hear your voice, calmly and with kindness relay this tale of another time of chaos, long ago and far away. Stay safe and never stop.
She lived a very exciting life for sure lol If you found this one interesting, you should do one on Marquise De Montespan. Her life was very interesting too, especially towards the end. Very much intrigue.
Versailles as a whole I think is fascinating. Everyone having to live under strict court etiquette every day. It was all about appearances so anyone gliding about the palace had to look their best all the time. 10,000 people or more could be moving about the palace every day! Imagine that! How crowded, like a little royal city. The way they lived I just find fascinating.
Unfortunately it was also like a Wasp’s nest- everyone trying to raise their position by destroying another’s. Plus it wasn’t until Louis XV that flushing toilets came to Versailles & people relieved themselves wherever they wanted. 💩
Poor thing! She was guilty of being kind & trusting; also a little bit silly & naive. I hope that Englishman that targeted her, lived to deeply regret his misplaced animosity toward her. So very sad😔.
They also killed anyone associated with the monarch,maids,ect.! Many innocent people.Many of my ancestors were put to the guillotines by those mobs,for little to no reason.Im also related to the du Barry family and her only crime was being the mistress of the king.
Well, even if your ”owner”, when you are literally a slave pays for your schooling and is nice to you, I can see why there are deep, deep resenment towards that person. I cannot even imagine how does it feel psychologically to be in such a cruel, unfair & tragic situation. It is so dehumanizing.
@@denebolamau6288 i am so sorry to hear that. Are you in a better place in your life now? I hope you did got justice but I am sure that whoever did that kind of suffering and unjustice for you will face the qonsequences sooner or later. In some form anyway. Idk if this means anything but I hope all the best for you in your future. You are a survivor.
I hate how the coppola film portrayed antoinette as a sympathetic character when in real life she was a selfish spoiled brat, who didn't care about the poor. Her treatment of du barry was proof of it, as well as her own mother telling her to knock it off I always thought she was a bit of a redhead, so she was blonde. I hate how she was portrayed in the coppola film as a brunette
Sophia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette” is a beautiful historical Mess ! Madame DuBarry had ash blonde hair, her taste was exquisite-she wore very little makeup, her manners were impeccable (Louis would never have a burping woman as Official Mistress), she was better educated and well read than most women at Versailles, she was known for her kindness to all, even to those who tried to destroy her. 🥀
She wasn't that bad, or that good. She did care about the poor to an extent, but was very ignorant about her own role in their oppression. She was kind to some, including many of the lower classes. However she could also be immature and had a mean streak for those she didn't like. She didn't dislike du barry for being a commoner. She didn't approve of 'official mistress' being a legitimate position due to the immorality of it. Du Barry got heat for that.
They hated her because she was a commoner and prostitute who attained a the maitresse en titre title which usually gone to noble women and reveled in the status and luxury for someone like her
Versailles investigated her thoroughly thru police reports, brothels etc. and the police, who kept track of prostitution found Nothing that she was a prostitute. She was a beautiful Courtesan but never walked the streets much like her predecessor Mme. Du Pompadour. 🌸
You might really enjoy the book : The Fatal Friendship. Lots of inisight into the reign of terror through correspondence between Marie Antoinette and Count Axel Von Ferson.
P.S. Did you know that the parts of the letters that were inked out have been mostly deciphered ? They used to think they were censored by his nephew when in fact Ferson himself inked them out 🙀 They used some new method to figure it out by using the various ink compositions. Good book !
You managed surprisingly well in terms of pronunciation. This isn't common with videos from youtubers who can't speak French... (You did butcher the name of the cemetery, though... It should sound like something closer to "Mad+Lane" really. The tensions between Jeanne and Marie-Antoinette is a plot point in the old anime series "The rose of Versailles" and they did a good job portaying that...
Wow! You're certainly an amazing researcher! I found the life story of Du Barry to be very informative. It's unfortunate that she had such a sad end. I was just wondering, do you have any tips for someone who is interested in becoming a historian or enjoys researching history? Thank you again for unveiling the lives of forgotten historical figures!
Fascinating I do not have the words to explain how much you enrich my life I have always been such a history buff and hearing these features in your voice bring them to life for me! I am binge watching today so sorry if I bombard you with comments!
Thanks you for this forgotton life. I really like the one on The Mad Monk.....😉 I always found his life intresting and his realationship with the Szar and his wife and son. Thanks again.👍💕
Another very entertaining video.😀 I love that you choose people from the past. It's a welcomed change from horror stories and let's not meet.😊 Oh my gosh! The height of that wig in that one picture!😳
Excellent video. Just for the record, in the 18th century a hairdresser would usually dress wigs (made from hair). If a woman wanted her own hair dressed, it would be done by her maid. There are contemporary cartoons showing men and women losing their wigs revealing bald or very little hair on their heads. Even the rich had head lice. It was easier to shave your head and get someone else to comb the nits and lice out of your wigs!
Back then a person will do anything to be accepted. Now a person will do anything not to be accepted. Very interesting indeed! I’m so happy for you and your success! Good things happen to good people
It’s actually the rooms, the apartment Madame DuBarry lived in (secret staircase to the King) that are currently being restored and not on the general tour of Versailles but I think you can make arrangements to see them in advance.
That's beautiful Nancy! Two hearts and a crown!👍 Funny listen to F. L. saying Jeanne, almost the pronunciation of my middle name: Jean. Lol Love it!!! Relisten this great vid again. Have great night dear Sis🌻

@@ELKE- Thank you, I still did not see MMEDIA OR BS. Those movies are fun to watch. Now I know there is something later.

(I have to think stupid things to forget the healing pain.) Thanks for letting me be silly here. Ttyl 😊
I'm honestly ctfu at everyone saying "she didn't deserve to die." Death was how they dealt with treason back then. I'm not sure which is worse. Guillotine or the psychological torture she would've faced being imprisoned for the rest of her life. She was warned at several points that she was playing with fire and she burned alive. As for the people condemning the slave that she was "kind" to, take a step back and ask yourself why you think that keeping a human being as an object who serves you is an okay practice.
You don’t even know his name 🤪 It was Zamor & LouisXV gave him as a child companion for Jeanne, who had expensive little uniforms made for him & gave him an education. When she was in exile both Zamor & her other servants remained on salary.while she was away, he became an informant for the revolutionaries & turned her in. She still had connections & was released. When she found out what Zamor did she fired him. Eventually she was arrested & he testified against her sending her to her death. He himself was later arrested but escaped to America (hmmm…wonder if he was a slave there 🤔) later coming back to Paris after Napoleon & died penniless. Karma I guess 😇 I feel sorry for you and your lack of education, empathy, & kindness….sorry/not sorry 😞🤣
What a horrible story and an observable point that *"Humans are largely the same, operating from Ego-Mind, the dance goes back and forth, achieving nothing but misery."*
People back then were busy bodies, but it's like they got off on watching people die. I guess that's the dark part about our animalistic behaviour. Have we changed in 230 years? Not really!! People still get jealous and people need to work on their own lives. Petty bullshit

They did her so wrong in the Marie Antoinette movie. Always felt it was kinda off, now I know why.
@Danny Michel Beun I will check it out! Thanks

She had the husband and the wife wantin sum lovin 😂😂
That's right XD
🤣😁 yep I thought I heard incorrectly, rewind listened again oop 😁 yep that's what he said oh lawd! Lol
You know you have it when both sexes want you and a toui manage,and the king makeing changes to protocol so he can have you!

I feel sorry for you and your lack of education, empathy, & kindness….sorry/not sorry 😞🤣
how sad,thanks for these videos
Love... Thank you...
What a horrible story and an observable point that *"Humans are largely the same, operating from Ego-Mind, the dance goes back and forth, achieving nothing but misery."*
I know exactly what you mean🧚♂️
Jeanne having had a child is more speculation than fact.
She never had a child. Rumors started because she delighted in the company of her little niece.
Sounds a lot like The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska O'rczy..Captivating movie and on YT audio book.
Congrats on sponsorship.
Thank you!
Great story but sad ending
Yes :/
You handled the French language beautifully, & this post was very good.
People back then were busy bodies, but it's like they got off on watching people die. I guess that's the dark part about our animalistic behaviour. Have we changed in 230 years? Not really!! People still get jealous and people need to work on their own lives. Petty bullshit
Poor Mme du Barry! It is not as if she was really one of the hated bourgeoisie
