I actually have a first edition of her memoirs. I collect pictures and books on Ludwig II, and since she was courtesan to his father, when I came across her memoir in an antique shop, I grabbed it.
@@ForgottenLives It is. I don't know how much of what she wrote is objectively accurate and how much she paints herself in a grand light - but her life was fairly spectacular, so I'm willing to allow her some artistic license.
Hey, cool....CW - I lived in Bavaria (Bamberg, actually IN the Black Forest) & I got to actually see & tour several of Ludwig 2's castles/palaces.......I have a soft spot for Ludwig2 - he designed beautifully - everything fit for a King - gigantic bed, I remember the beautiful blue glass balls for bedside lamps, the incredible inlaid marble tables......on & on &.....he NEVER spent even one night there. The views from that fairytale castle - oberammergau.......I'd like to go back, actually - it's a hike up there for sure. I also gazed upon the lake that they did toss poor Ludwig in - after he had spent the whole treasury....oh, well!.........THEY got mad & drowned the Mad King Ludwig. He was a great architect & artist, IMHO..........................................................grooosgott!! I'd love to see your books indeed, curious world.....good memories . cheers ellie/shell lake/usa
@@dr.elizabethmartin7118 Oh, I'd love a chance to see Ludwig's castles! I have a few original photos of him and his brother, as well as an original photo of Neuschwanstein, with men on scaffolds still working on it. I have dozens of books about him, as well. I've always had a soft spot for him, too. Any ruler who bankrupts his country for art, as opposed to war, is alright by me. :)
I live in Grass Valley, CA, where Lola spent 2 years. Her small house (CA Historical Monument #292) is now owned by the city, and has been a visitor's center, as well as other public uses. There's also a mural of her close to the downtown. She certainly was an exotic resident to our rugged mining town.
Her Grass Valley house still exists and is marked with a historical landmark plaque. While there she encouraged a neighbor girl, a miner's young daughter, Charlotte Crabtree, who went on to a less notorious but very much more successful career on the stage as Lotta Crabtree.
My gosh, "Smooth Criminal" was probably based off her. I doubt she was truly "innocent" of those crimes. All those men dying around her and really no evidence to point her as the culprit.
It seems she really didnt care if her dancing was good or not. She just did what she wanted to, followed HER dream regardless of what so many people had to say.
Love your presentations. thanks so much. How about an article on Dr James Barry? She rose to become Inspector General in charge of military hospitals. Only after her death did they discover that she was a woman. Also Dr Mary Walker, the first woman to be awarded the Medal of Honour. Both ladies were far ahead of their time, and left lasting legacies behind them. Thanks for an excellent series. Keep up the good work.
James Barry is an excellent story though as a trans person I want to interject with a slight adjustment, James insisted quite heavily on a masculine reference and identity and showed a great discomfort with the idea of being perceived as a woman. It's unknown whether this means Dr. Barry was a transgender man before his time when such language didn't exist, or if this was mere "disguise" but the evidence of his rage and aggression at being referred to as a woman does seem to show some sort of mixed gender identity. We can never fully know and our modern language for this simply didn't exist and can't be applied within that context, but it's important to discuss in reference so that people like myself can see there have always been stories very like ourselves, even if in different terms. This comment is all in good faith and only meant to extend a new perspective, though. I love to see people discuss Dr. Barry at all, but I do wish it was more often addressed that Dr. Barry may have preferred to truly be viewed as a man psychologically, or otherwise gender divergent.
What she did to the world is not worthy of pride. She was totally a burden. Robert Greene in his book 48 Laws of Power has spoken about avoiding the unlucky and the unhappy, and he chose her story of what the burden feels like.
It sounds like people just "happen" to die around her. Ambition doesn't necessarily mean not giving up. You can be naturally ambitious and still give up on being a good person.
DO not trust any source without real evidence completely. Especially not about demimondaine. Some books written about Cora Pearl or La Belle Otero just state the narrative without any evidence.
Loved it...thanks. My grandfather's [my mom's dad] aunt, (his mom's sister) is named Lola Montez Eaton... aka "Monty". It has me wondering if they knew this ladies background.
Thanks, FL, for another interesting story of a unique individual. I’m sure she was quite the handful back then, although much of her behavior wouldn’t be considered odd in this day and age. Hope you’re having a great week and I look forward to your next video.
Someone men enjoy independent women, unlike the males who strut around pretending they have value and therefore cast murderous judgement against women.
"feel the fire where she walks, Lola Montez so beautiful, shady and a tempered dame, blinding your eyes with her spider dance" the song speaks the truth
Excellent content as usual F L ! . , I had read a little about her in some books on American Wild West history but all it would really mention was the " Spider Dance " ( I'd like to have seen that ) and her scandalous behavior and that was pretty much it . Thanks for all the hard work you put into your research . Keep up the great work and stay healthy.
She was a teenager with ideas of her own - didn't we all. You are very respectful and never judgemental. What is the difference between a courtesan a prostitute a person with several or? 🤔 I don't know. I wish you well Xxx I also wish that I was flexible enough to do a spider dance but 🤔😹 I'm old now 💃🏻🕷️
Classical music nerd here. So, to include more on Montez and Lizst's relationship and to correct one mistake, just 'famous' doesn't cut it for Liszt, he was the *most* famous man in Europe at the time, sparking Lizstomania. Liszt first introduced her to his group of close friends, which include George Sand and Frédéric Chopin. Later, Montez and Lizst slept together in a hotel as a one-night-stand. There are many articles on this, so allow me to pull out a quote: "Somewhere in that string of lovers, she found time for Franz Liszt. But Liszt, it seems, wasn’t as attached as she was. After sleeping with Lola Montez in a hotel room, he sneaked out during the night. Montez was not happy. In a fury, she destroyed the room, breaking every piece of furniture she could before storming out and leaving the place in ruins. Liszt, though, had apparently known the effect he could have. Before he’d left, he’d already handed the hotel owners a wad of cash. In a few minutes, he warned them, that hotel room was about to be in ruins." She then followed Liszt to a massive dinner party of 550 people held by King Wilhelm IV and Queen Elisabeth Ludovika of Bavaria, which included names such as; Hector Berlioz, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Ignaz Moscheles, Félicien David, Jenny Lind, and Pauline Viardot. Another quote: "Just in case you were wondering, Lola Montez was not invited. However, such technicalities had never made a strong impression on her and she quickly crashed the party claiming to be Franz Liszt’s personal guest. Not only did she upset the pre-arranged seating arrangement, but according to legend, also leapt on a table and freely bared her assets. By all accounts, her dance routine failed to inspire much applause and numerous guests fled the banqueting hall despite a torrential thunderstorm raging outside. The embarrassment to Franz was considerable, and when Bonn celebrated the Beethoven centenary in 1870, he was not invited."
Lola was quite a world traveler. With her determination to use a horse whip it seems likely she would have done well in 19th century America. Also, I think Instagram would be a good idea. Thank you for another well done video. I appreciate your quality research and presentation.
Thanks! What a nutcase.I mean Dancer...I mean actress....I mean stripper.......I mean adventuress (I like that she got around, but she was one taco short of a combination plate, was Lola Montez.) Poor dear - I lived in Bavaria for two years - I saw Ludwig 2s amazing fantasy castles, and the lake where they pitched him to drown after spending the treasury.....But her guy Ludwig 1? Probably lived to a ripe old Bavarian age........after he got rid of "Lola". cheers!
Actually, she died of pneumonia, not syphilis. She suffered from pulmonary issues for much of her life. She also had recurring malaria over the years due to her contracting it in India when she was a child.
Lola, the evil temptress, was sent by the Devil to seduce and damn the hero in the musical/film- "Damn Yankees." Her big song was "Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets.""
Interesting story. TFS. Here's a suggestion: try using only those illustrations that actually fit the lifetime of each person whose life you feature here. This woman did not experience life as an adult during either the mid 18th century or Regency England.
In my southern Virginia, USA small town, women like her are said to have white livers. This terms applies to women who go through more than one man as a husband, who all are ruined or die while married to her. She had a white liver, all right. A globe trotting, interesting, insane, beautiful black widow spider. Does anybody know if she ever "went to the crossroads" to have such supernatural reinventions of herself to get such success.?
Seem she had a stubborn streak. No matter how others tried to help her. She had her own ideas. Maybe meant to shock some. I think she enjoyed being different.. It was her way or no way.her rebellion ways was probably as a results from her childhood. She was a bit ahead of her time. I think some were afraid of her, not knowing what she would do next. This one you can say was a hell cat. Lol. . again I guess her life style is what caused her death.. It was a very interesting story and I admit. Made me laugh.bit of a wild child and woman..thanks again for a very interesting and bit of humorous story.. Love, respect, and positivity always. Neita James :-) .:-)
Good review of Lola Montez' life, but why did you have to illustrate the part where she met the King of Bavaria with a picture of Austrian Emperor Karl I and Empress Zita, a married couple whose relationship was the exact opposite of that of King Ludwig and Lola Montez?
Never heard of her! Wow in her portrait you see in her eyes how manipulative she was!! A narcissistic sociopath, maybe? Although a very interesting character 😆
My Favourite Lola Montez anecdote is the one in which Franz Liszt decided to leave Lola. Knowing her proclivity for violence, Liszt pre-paid the innkeeper to cover the damages he knew that Lola would inflict on her suite once she realized that she had been dumped.
