      And fun fact about Madame de Pompadour: She was stupid powerful for a woman in politics at the time. Some have said that she was practically a prime minister and was in charge of the King’s schedule. Just to emphasize that, she decided who got to see the head of state and who did not, along with deciding who to promote and who to demote in the government.

Now he's being held captive by said genie in one of the many time-periods the Professor has to visit (hence where he gets all this knowledge for the show) to try and rescue him. Of course, genies are wily little fuckers, so that's obviously easier said than done.
