We open history books and see many names. They belonged to kings and diplomats, generals and heroes, tyrants and usurpers, artists and writers.

Some of them literally turned the world upside down and laid the foundation for a new order.

Louis XVI was a weak king. Marie Antoinette preferred balls and entertainment.

Thus, for the disappearance of which a certain Jeanne de la Motte was accused - the granddaughter of Henry Valois, an intriguer and writer who went from a beggar vagabond to a society lady, from a fugitive to the wife of a count, from a nameless emigrant to a lady-in-waiting girlfriend of the Russian Empress?
