@alicelittle And now you my dear!💜

A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of WWII’s Most Dangerous Spy, Virginia Hall by Sonia Purnell (Author), and, Village of Secrets by Caroline Moorehead are both excellent books about the French resistance and Virginia Halls roll in supporting their efforts. She was an amazing, intelligent and dedicated woman.

Mme la Countess de Castiglione MADAME ❤

This is an interesting piece of art history.

This was weird

Hypergamous Hookers. That's what a courtesan is. Gabrielle Coco Chanel was a courtesan, and that kind of hypergamous behavior continued through her life. She was banging English society man Arthur Boy Capel. Then she was banging that exiled Russian Romanov royal - forgot his name. Then she was banging that Nazi senior official in occupied France. Was she banging Winston Churchill? And so on. Chanel was always a survivor at heart, having been dumped in an orphanage at age 12. But that's hypergamy. The instinctive need for provisioning, resources, safety. And women Then were even more vulnerable in more dangerous times.

Whyte Washed Picture. Nothing Absolutely Correct. Fake as the Picture.

The child in one of the first photos on here - with his finger under his chin - is the Countess’s son, Giorgio, who she had photographed in many unusual ways. it is not of the Countess.

what an amazing woman, and so talented she should be more appreciated as an example to us all.

Interesting. Please upload more about courtesans

Thank you for this. Isadora Duncan was one of the most fascinating characters of the 20th century. To call her an "original" would be a huge understatement. For those who might be interested, her book "My Life" is a must-read. The movie, "Isadora" starring a young Vanessa Redgrave, was excellent also, although I don't remember how precisely it follows the book.

We used to call them Gold Diggers.

A good summary of Elizaveta Petrovnas reign I think.

just discovered Professor Lear...love him ....can't wait to see more !

2:59. What a disgusting story. We’ll be living in modern Rome very soon. Thanks for teaching me.

Background piano music too loud over-riding the dialogue.Please edit to lower the music.

She would be wonderful breath of fresh air for today

Thanks...and narrator has got a beautiful and espressive speaking voice

She seemed so beautiful...but what sad history

This would be a really great video if the music did not greatly overpower the voice of the narrator. Then add that the narrator talks so fast that it seems to be a race. Take a breath! Sad.

Background music too loud, covers most of the dialogue

Come on, stop covering the boobies! It’s natural

court dwarfs

Love you Andrew 🤗💜

wow

Just started the book about the cat and dog trolling each other.

ooooooooo OMG. When I first saw her I fell in love. I'm white but I've always had a thing for beautiful black women. African black women often like white boys as me. They know we'll please them and give them love.

I'm in my 70s now and remember all the different kinds of bras .Lol Lol

She is one of my favorite Authors ❤

Isn't that what celebrity/debutantes? They are cute girls who have some kind of talent to get "famous" on social media. The really "big" ones get rich lovers...

I dont agree with the picture “being about her”, he’s looking up at her as she’s the translator between him “a genius in his works”, and us the public.

A lady has recently regressed back to a lifetime as Tullia d'Aragona. For an account, see the Hypno-Archaeologist by Philip Ditchfield.

The way you describe these women's bodies just show you don't pull 😭 Many women look like that naturally.

Who is here because of the netflix movie, "Collette"?

Such a great story ❤️

I guess I have a big traet of cedars

Good job. One question: that portrait at 1:21, is that really of Marie? If so, what is the title of the canvas and who is the painter? Thank you.

The best way to put it is it's like being a professional companion to men of high stations. The men they entertain are their patrons. They can be persuaded to become 'kept women', mistresses through courtship, gifts, favors etc. It is quite different from contracting a prostitute just for one night. Of course these women have to be attractive to these men by more than just looks. I can see this as being a very good position to be in, for women who cannot normally marry above their station. I like to think they have a lot more financial freedom and autonomy instead of being someone's wife who's only place is the home. It's certainly better than being a servant

I envy them

Nadja!

Love to see a new updated Movie made about her. The Queen if the Cay is ok..but kinda out dated Awesome Woman🤘🏾💪🏾👏🏽👏🏽

I love her!

She is SOOO brilliant. Love you Artemisia <33

"Big Hair" was the 1980s.

So sad

I love learning about these fascinating ladies!

I'm a ginger! Sadly my hair started to turn (not grey, but pure white) rather early. I love this video and these fun facts! Proud to be a redhead!

I always get the french mistresses confused. I love your lectures! I always learn so much!!

Great video!! If you don't already, I'd love to see an entire series on the important mistresses and queens/empresses throughout the world!

Kim's role model?
