She lived upto an impressive age of 90. Her noble act of saving Dauphin's life is commendable. Bleeding as a cure was a gross medical malpractice of that time. Thank you for sharing and enriching our history.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Good for her, fending off the doctors! That's no small thing.... Loving all the shout-outs I'm seeing, it's nice to see everyone supporting eachother ❤
Thanks Anastasia, it's great to see people are enjoying the community we are building. There are so many interesting topics, and lovely content creators. United we can achieve a lot !
I'm so grateful to be able to learn so much about the woman who saved Louis XV. She was truly a dedicated governess. Thank you for this beautiful video.
I was familiar with the story of her "kidnapping" Louis to save him from the doctors, but I really knew nothing else about her. Thank you for this informative video.
It is amazing to learn that she was the savior of the little Louis XV by keeping him away from the doctors and how she lived to see part of his reign, as well as being the governess to this king's children and watching them grow up ✨
I read about the Duchesse De Ventadour . What a woman! What courage ! What bravery ! That lady put her life on the line , and that's no joke. People must know that the Duchesse took a major major risk . If that child would have died , she would have lost her head. But she stuck to her guns , and did the right thing! And the child grew up to become King Louis XV. What a badass !! Great Lady . MAJOR RESPECT ! SALUTE!
Wow…she lived to the ripe age of 90 during a time when people died very young, not necessarily kids. She had a great life even considering her unhappy marriage. Many women didn’t have it easy.
90 was certainly quite old but not totally unheard of for the time. Nobles who weren’t royal and therefore didn’t have the life-shortening stress of rule but still enjoyed the finery, wealth and all that comes with it regularly live to their late 60s or 70s and there have been a few cases of late 80s and 90s provided they survived any wars or plagues of the time (including childbirth for women)
@@emilybarclay8831 Come on…the so-called stress was passed on to their underlings (modern CEOs)…the problem they had was probably related to any fear of falling from the graces of the king/queen and having the property obtained from the royals taken back (which included any wealth).
@@marinazagrai1623 it depends on the monarch. Germanic monarchs were pretty absolute. The French monarchs held massive power over their courtiers. It also varies from ruler to ruler
What is that painting of a surgical procedure at 2:12?? It can't be a Caravaggio but it is in his style. It amazes me that I've never seen it and I have a degree in art history...
So interesting! I didn't know Louis XV lost his mother, father & brother all at once from measles, & barely survived himself, but massive respect to Madame de Ventadour! It's easy to say such medical treatments are incredibly stupid in hindsight, but the whole approach to knowledge before the development of the scientific method was vastly different, & people who questioned the received wisdom were rare. Louis was lucky to have one by his side.
@@kets4443 Nor did I! I know very little about the French monarchy, which is why I'm here, & it's great that there's such an excellent channel that covers it.
Madame Ventadour an extraordinary woman who saved the life of King Louis XV and had a long life for that time with 90 years if it weren't for her the story would be very different, young Louis XV very likely would have died with bloodletting and Louis's libertine nephew XIV would have become King
The thing that strikes me most is how a disease such as measles can b fatal. And yet, in the US, there are people who turn down the vaccine and are willing to risk the potential of death because of it. Knowing that this channel is devoted to the French monarchy, but it would be an interesting side light to explore subjects such as this, such as Louis Pasteur's contributions to science.
@@TheKingsofFrance Of course I did! You always manage to please the historian and make it interesting for the amateur. You never disappoint. I'm honest and I would correct you if needs be, but that won't happen. You're just very good at this. The collab was amazing too. I commented on the actual video.
How astute of Madame De Ventadour to see that bleeding patients was doing more harm. So brave as well. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for watching Leticia !
Pleasant surprise to hear about Louis XV having a positive relationship with a woman...
Thanks for watching Robert !!
His relationship with Pompadour wasnt positive?
She lived upto an impressive age of 90. Her noble act of saving Dauphin's life is commendable. Bleeding as a cure was a gross medical malpractice of that time. Thank you for sharing and enriching our history.
Thank you for watching again Ambreen !!
This turned out so well - I had to watch it again because Madame de Ventadour is such a hero!
Glad you liked it !
I have been subscribed to your channel, it is wonderful! 👸👏✌
What a wise maternal figure! She healed Louis XV with wine 🍷 & biscuits ♥️! Merci 🌸
A glass of wine is a great solution to most problems haha !
@@TheKingsofFrance agreed ♥️🍷

She's got a great channel and deserves a bit of exposure imo !

Love the idea of shoutouts!
She deserves more exposure, her channel's great !

I'll look it up when I'm home, but do remind me if I forget...
The process of bleeding lasted till the (probably) mid 19th century…Jane Austen writes about that in one of her books.
I love learning about people that I've never heard about!! :) Tysm for posting another great video!!
Glad you liked it Callie !
Very interesting and enjoyed this,thank you so much.🙂💙

Thanks so much Michelle !
The Duke of Bretagne and son of Le Petit Dauphin he was named Louis Josef Xavier am I correct
Je te adore 🥰
Merci à toi !
Great content keep it up
Thank you so much hun !
living 90 in the 18th century was like living over 100+ this days, I think the longest living King of France was Charles X at 79
Thank you so much for watching !
A long life well lived I suppose.
Agreed. Thank you for watching Ludovic !

That's not a bad idea actually. I do divert from French Royalty often enough so I don't see why I wouldn't dedicate a few episodes to science...
First!
Hope you liked it Renias !
