Happy 299th birthday to Madame de Pompadour! 🎂
Meant new year sorry
Lol there were exactly 299 likes on this video before I liked it
She doesn't look a day over the age of 42!
🎊✨Happy Birthday!
@@ChelseaH1 lol😂
We finally get to see what you look like! You are a very handsome and intelligent young man! I love forgotten lives, you always manage to find people I have never heard of! Thank you for all your hard work!
Absolutely! 100% Agree with U🤘💙
Thanks for your kind words :)
Oh wow, I did not picture that face with that voice, gorgeous and brilliant.
I was indeed thinking the same. I enjoy watching your videos and now there is a face behind them I enjoy them even more.
I’m curious where you are from! I couldn’t place the accent!
The Madame de Pompadour episode of Doctor Who back in the day is still one of my favorites. She was such an incredible woman and the show did her a compliment. I always hated that he didn’t go back and get her before her death.
The Girl in the Fireplace is my favourite David Tennant episode. 🤗
"I've just snogged madame de pompadour"
Same it will always remain my favourite dr who episode
Funny I often reminisce about that episode too.💖
okay so not only are we getting great content but we getting eye candy at the end.. go off king
😅😉 thanks :)
Right?! Such a nice surprise 😍
This made me laugh because it's so forward
Jasmin Velazquez gotta shoot me shot somehow
Madame De Pompadour had more influence than many of the men in court! The fact she had something to do with the Treaty of Versailles is monumental on its own! So much life in such a short time! Nice reveal at the end! But get ready for marriage proposals haha!
Indeed and thanks 😅
She is like every other woman, ambitious, materialistic and sexual.
@@ericastier1646 made her way by the spreading legs...how intellectual !!! And of course due her clever actions whole kingdom got weakened!
@@sergejstankovic2709 well , i don't think you can glorify her with having caused such decisive calamities. Her goal was to seduce the King, she succeed at that. It's a woman's way of doing politics.
His uncle was her guardian and arranged the marriage. Do you think they really loved each other? Most often the husbands of these women were more interested in what they could get out of the deal than about their wives.
Thank you for the face reveal. I enjoy listening to your voice and it’s nice putting a face with a voice. You’re handsome and thank you for the videos
Thanks very much :)
I wanna be a French mistress...seems like a nice gig.
lol
No you wanna be the chief French mistress lol
Same 😂
Oh it was!It was indeed---up until the revolution.Madame du Barry came to a very bad end.
Except for that whole part about having to have sex with French royalty... who didn't bathe... and were reallllly into oral sex. 🤢
I remember first learning about her from a Dr. Who episode, lol
Same lol
Me too
Great video again FL - have shared this one - keep up the great work
The Crime Reel are we to see u next ??!!
@@ginatrombetto1931 Hi Gina, I may do a little finger reveal in a few years lol
Cheers TCR :)
Oh my gosh just imagining them all dressed up, such as her wearing the Diana costume, sounds SO magical!
Remember, they didn't bathe often.
@@Pfsif lmao I’ll remember to bring my nose plugs
She was described as Louis XV's true love. The queen even had a good opinion of her.
Well done story - as always. Interesting that she was so openly respectful to the Queen. Different times lol
Oh I am so glad to put a face to the voice of Forgotten Lives ! Thank u so much for your channel ! Much enjoyment !
Bon anniversarie Madame. I have not forgotten you. I named my beautiful white cat after you, Madame de Pompadour Georgette.
Good, I love knowledge getting fleshed out after introductions to historical figures in tv shows (Doctor Who) :D
I saw her there too! Then i looked her up, but this was much better than what i read.
Yeah! Exactly what I was thinking!
I was sure that you were in your late 30s to 40s! Your maturity, insight, and understanding of your subjects is commendable at any age, but extraordinary at your young age. Excellent work, as always 👏
I love how you pronounce all these names. You make it seem effortless!! Awesome videos!!
I would have never thought you were so young. From the sound of your voice I thought you were a older man. You may be young but you have a old soul. That why I think you're so attractive to time of long ago. You must have had many interesting past lives. Keep up the great work because I know everyone appreciate the time and effort you put in your work.🙋
Thanks for your kind words :)
Omg he is so handsome 😍🥰❤!!
Thanks 🥰🥰
Thank You FL & Blessed New Year Everyone 🍾🥂😁
Thank you, you too Lana
Happy new year! Thanks for the support!
Between Mortis and you, I get all my bases covered! I am a crazy history nerd who also is fascinated by true crime and the supernatural. I'm so glad he pimped your channel out, I have enjoyed everything I have watched so far! 🙃 Thank you for all the hard work and research!
Awesome!! Thanks :)
Forgotten Lives, another fantastic video. It's a shame she died at 42. But I guess a lot of people died relatively young in that time period. The face reveal at the end of the video was very nice, since I didn't know what you looked like before? It's great to put the "face behind the voice" in my mind. 😀
Thanks, glad to hear it :)
@@ForgottenLives You're welcome Forgotten Lives. It's always a pleasure listening to your videos. 🙂
It's so good to see the face behind the voice!!! Thank you so much for all the hard work! This is one of my favorite channels. I hope you have a wonderful New Year💐
Thanks for support!
So glad to see such young person with an interest in history. Reminds me of myself in my own youth! Could you please do a bio of Empress Maria Theresa,mother of Marie Antoinette and and a very remarkable woman in her own right? Thanks for all the great videos and Happy New Year!
Will look into her !
Love your voice...very handsome too! Keep
Your videos coming. I enjoy your selected subjects very much
Thanks very much! Will do !
Holy wow, smart and gorgeous! And I'm not talking about the subject of this video. dang....
Haha thanks 🥰
Thank you!! Your channel is the only thing worth watching on TH-cam. As always great, mind-blowing and incredibly interesting. Love your channel!!!
Thanks for the support!
I've always wanted to hear about Madame de pompadour thanks for making this video! Also, I wasn't expecting the face behind the voice! I was pleasantly surprised! Homme beau 😊
I love how a young, (also cute I might add) gentleman has chosen so often to champion women of history for their victories. You are truly unique and highly valuable to this world. Thank you 🙏
ALWAYS a pleasure when you upload a video 😊
Glad to hear it :)
Wow, so wonderful to see the man behind the voice! Thank you for these videos. I learn about people I have never heard of. Happy New Year.
Happy new year, thanks :)
I’ve just found this channel but I’ve already subscribed. A wonderful idea to speak about forgotten lives, while most channels focus on the opposite. Things most of us history buffs already know. I love learning new things so this channel is perfect for me!
She Was Wrong For Not Being Honest To Her Husband. I Guess, Initially, She Didn't Want To Disappoint Him (Due To His Feelings For Her). As For YOU...You Make Me Feel Older Than I Am! I'm Pretty Sure, You Fooled Us All. Thanks Again For Another Great Video...And, HAPPY NEW YEARS!
I like how we’re all fangirling over you haha! Another great and well researched video, thank you for the great content and the eye candy at the end lol
Only in France would the king be given an official Chief Mistress.
Not the last one either - see François Mitterrand
Lol😂😂
Official Mistress is Concubine tho.....is not normal in royal lives?only in Europe removed it years later tho.........it was a must or custom to have one or 2 or several, in Bhutan it still is...its just this current king said he doesn't want one
@@mariajason3547 Not the same, though I see where you're coming from. The official Mistress had to be married to someone else and of noble blood. A concubine as far as I know is an official title that still includes marriage and the laws involved in the marriage (caring for your spouse etc). A concubine isn't a level of infidelity, unlike having a mistress that is recognized by all your friends.
There you are! so wonderfull to see the faces that go with the voices. Thanks for the last year of bringing these lives back to memory and let´s hope for an even better 2021!
Well done, and also well read! Thank you and keep up your good work.
Thanks for the support ☺️
Wonderful Job! Wow!
The topic was fascinating. The others at court may not have cared for her, but they were well aware of what making a public comment or action against her would do. She might’ve disliked schooling, unless it was an asset to her life. Supporting the Arts as she did, created an unbelievable setting for Scholars and Artist which are still valued and studied today. This woman was incredibly intelligent when charting a pathway towards what she longed to become. A notoriously treacherous court, how well she achieved her main desire- to love a King, and more importantly, to have him love her as much in return. Savvy girl, smarter woman.
Wow! What an Excellent Job you have done! Kudos! Intelligent, interesting presentation of your topic. Beautiful coverage and French pronunciations. The media used to illuminate the subject- spot on. So pleased for you!
Brilliant coverage!
:) Bravo! More! More!!
Thanks for the support :D
Thank you for all your hard work! May you have a safe, healthy happy new year!
Thanks for the support, happy new year!
Nice to “see” the face behind the Voice! Great narrative this time, as usual, too. One wonders about that convenient death of Mme. Chaterrand (sp?) only a year after Louis meets Pompadour. Or was the Queen not as “accepting” as she seemed? ☺️ How do French people feel today about their aristocracy in general? Probably not as sentimental as outsiders looking in, I’ll bet. Thanks again, Forgotten Lives. You’re so young to be so wise. (Almost rhymes, doesn’t it?)
So many great questions, it also makes me wonder, thanks for the support!
Some French people will cling to anything from the past, including aristocracy, as they see it as the "purest" of times, when France was only populated by French, and not "polluted" by the eclectic population France has today .
What's funny is, France stole African men and kids as young as 13 to fight front row in WW2, then she used some more as almost free laborers to reconstruct the country after the war, while still using the "ancient" colonies as her personal bank.
Yet more than half of the French citizens hate the fact that Black, Brown and Muslim people live in their "republic" , when those people never asked to be there to begin with.
It's like the racist americans who ask the decedents of stolen Africans to "go back home" whenever they express a desire to have a sub culture, keep some personal traditions, or simply denounce the injustices perpetuated against them.
France has an enormous problem with her past and she makes the wrong people pay for it. France went to get cheap labor from Africa until..1998. Those people have kids now, and yet, they want them to leave when THEY made France what it is today by working for Reno, Citroen and other big corporations for almost one fifth of the salary of a white or french worker.
Hate and bigotry make no sense
@@Those.who.stay.silent.consent You seem to be kind-hearted. [I would use other initials, however, in the US.]
As you learn the meaning of RWS, you will discover the “sense” behind its purposes, what it is, how it works & you will see the need to choose either Justice, or joining with the people of The Lie. 💕🌼🦩 Thanx 4 your thoughts.
I’ve watched every single one of your videos...given that I am obsessed with royal history...your voice is absolutely amazing! You’ve inspired me to start talking about royal history on my channel! I’ve subscribed to your channel as well!👏🏼🙏🏼
What is your channel all about?
Good luck with it and kind wishes x
@@janetcw9808 I’ve been exploring many different avenues from fashion to crafting, history and more..somehow history on royals, keeps hitting me..and being a former makeup artist, and having worked with stylists on many designs..royal attire, along with etiquette and just how they managed back in their time...always fascinated me. Royal topics seem to always win!
@@janetcw9808 and thank you kindly for your wishes..and may you also continue to do whatever it is you enjoy!
Thanks for the support! Best of luck :)
Dr Who #10 made her sound unfailingly brilliant and universally loved. Sounds like she did alright, though.
Your videos are both entertaining and informative. You really do bring History to life for me. I’m a recent subscriber to your channel and very much look forward to exploring more of your videos. 😊
I absolutely love your fantastic pronunciations. Great work.
And they said 'it never happened in our day' - 🙄 - well, obviously it was all going on 🤔😂.
As Usual, Auld Mamma Bear hear wonders what happened to her children.
Thanks so much for your work, research and information.
Good wishes to you, all you love and followers Worldwide Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🗺️ 🍀 🏴.
P. S., I envy your tidy house, Bonnie Lad!!! 👍🏼 ❤️
Thanks for all the support!!
thank you for making quarantine go by faster, love the vids 🤩
EXACTLY.
Good wishes 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴💐🌃🌟🥂
@@janetcw9808 happy holidays ✨🎉⭐
Wow! You are gorgeous. And I thought you were much older. Love this channel! You’re very wise and your research is amazing.
Thank you 💙 and for the support too!
Love seeing the face to the voice!!! Such a surprise, thank you for your videos and all the best for 2021!
Your videos are my morning calming yet educational spree along with coffee♥️
I love your music. It reminds me of rainy days.
Absolutely "loved" your video about, Madame de Pompadour, chief mistress to King Louis XV, of France. She was a very fascinating woman of which I didn't know who did alot of political, social, personal, responsibilities for the King and France. I believe her and her mother probably thought the fortune teller meant she would be the wife of a king not the mistress, as it turned out. Great investigation of this video and all of the various videos you have brought us this year. Happy New Year to you, family, friends and your subscribers. Take care 🎉
Thanks for the support, happy new year :)
This is a great video thank you for teaching so much more about her. She sounds like an amazing person
Thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Madame de Pompadour. Thank you for sharing
Face reveal! You're cute...I did not mean that in a creepy way.
The Louis XIII, XIV, XV & XVI are fascinating. So I'm a fan of French history from 1600 to 1800. Love your content and proper French pronunciations!
It's a great time period and thanks :)
You might enjoy "To Dance with Kings" by Rosalind Laker; it chronicles the rise and fall of Versailles through four generations of women who live alongside and within it.
Thank you for informative and interesting content. And Happy Birthday Madame Pompadour.
In a time of political unrest and uncertainty, social upheaval, and technoaddiction it is refreshing to see in depth research and intelligent compilation of integral historical figures. I know this is mentioned often in this thread but I feel that despite not being related to the content of the video (Excellent by the way) it heartens me to see that such a young person be so deeply interested and knowledgeable in historical figures an their importance in how they shaped modern culture. If anything it gives me hope that all is not lost and we are not actually doomed to mental regression of the new generation. Bravo! Young man. Keep up the good work and don't let the deserved compliments go to your head. You have the beginnings of a very respectable career in education of people young and old through the new way. I am in awe and envy.
Thanks very much :D
I really enjoy these videos. The information gives a clear understanding of the person described. I always feel as though I were actually there with them. It's huge fun and really educational. I love history! Happy New Year to everyone involved with the making of this video. God bless you all. Thank you for the video and for educating me.
Thanks for the support 😊 happy new year!
I loved this. Such a wonderful job,!
Well Done Sir!!! Thank You!!! 👍😎

Wonderful story. Thank you for posting
Seeing you was such a beautiful present for the last day of the year! Thank you for all the research and time you take to represent those forgotten lives.
Yours is one of my favorite historical biographies channels. While I have heard about many of these people, you always add something fresh to their stories. And now I have a face to match the voice, and quite a nice match too. 😃😄😊
Just found forgotten lives. I love it! Thank you

Very interesting and well told, definitely subscribing to your channel!
I had an old fashioned fabric portrait of her... she's so beautiful
After reading a section of Robert Greene’s, “Art of Seduction” I discovered her. This video was enjoyable to watch and even more curious.
Dude....you look way younger than i thought ud be...
Thank you so much for the informative content you have provided all these years
You are a perfect mix of brains and beauty. Amazing channel; informative and a voice that hugs my brain
Its nice to see you at last. I think it makes a big difference seeing the face behind all the hard work.
About the story , I cannot help feeling sorry for the French queen having to put up with all her husbands' girlfriends. I wonder if she was allowed lovers.
Happy New Year.
Wow what a life. Thanks forgotten lives
Wow dude Im so glad to see you at last!
Thanks for all the support 😊
Just found you, you have a lovely voice, just perfect. The content is so good & just the right length of time. Thank you.
