But a film that succeeds, according to the common wisdom, is one in which all the elements are equally balanced in a whole that merits the adjective "perfect". Still, I assert that perfection and success are mean, indecent, immoral, and obscene.

Hi, I'm not very familiar with that era of history and so I wanted to ask: what was Isabella of France's involvement in the Tour de Nesle affair? Was she the one to report it to her father?

Thanks! Love your blog and your edits :)

hi! thank you 💙

Isabelle's involvement in the Tour de Nesle Affair is actually void of any kind of accuracy. The first 'primary' source material that implicates her is from fifty years after the Affair happened, and the retelling of the story itself is pretty much entirely made up, although on this particular point, the author stresses that it's just a rumor going around. The second 'primary' source material directly implicating Isabelle, and goes into a huge amount of details, was written a hundred years after the first source. Mind you, none of the primary sources even agree on the dates of the Affair, with one even straight up switching april for may so that it could rhyme with the next line. So yeah. Accuracy wasn't on the forefront of anybody's mind. What infuriates me is that people still write about it like it's the Truth.

It's true that Isabelle's involvement seems logical, given her trip to France around this exact same time. It's not impossible that she found an angle in which getting rid of her sisters-in-law was profitable for her, her husband, or her son. As Gaëlle Audéon suggests, she could have very well been manipulated by, or found a common interest with Marigny, who himself seems to be the one who profited the most out of the whole debacle. But the evidence is lacking, and the 'sources' implicating Isabelle are not accurate. What could very well be just a coincidence (Isabelle being in France in 1314) shouldn't be considered the absolute, unequivocal truth. Perhaps someone (ahem, Marigny) thought the presence of the Queen of England would be a great distraction to put things in motion.

That being said, i can't stress it enough, but there's not a single cell in my body that will ever believe that any of this 'affair' was true

8 décembre 1744 : mort de Marie-Anne de Nesle, favorite de Louis XV ➽ https://bit.ly/31CE0EY Veuve à 23 ans, celle dont les deux soeurs avaient précédemment conquis le coeur de Louis XV, inspira à son tour la passion la plus vive au monarque : devenue favorite en titre et soutenue par le duc de Richelieu, elle fut quelque temps toute-puissante à Versailles ; mais animée de nobles sentiments, elle sut arracher le roi aux délices de la cour et le conduire à la tête de ses armées en Flandre et en Alsace

nothing beats reading historical scandals. oh your favorite celebrity is in a love triangle with her former and current boyfriends, or doing coke, or getting into a fight with a politician on twitter? why don't you read about The Affair of the Poisons or The Tour de Nesle Affair instead

Opera Simplified #7: Les Huguenots—Notes, Act IV

** This aria (not including the recitative, which was always kept in) was cut before the premiere. It is now pretty much always reinstated because come on, you’re going to put on a four-hour opera and NOT give the leading lady an aria??? And it’s quite a lovely aria too.

*** de Besme, real name Charles Dianovitz, was an assistant of the Catholic leader Henry I, Duke of Guise. Of Bohemian (as in “present-day Czech”) origin, he is recorded as being the assassin of Admiral Coligny.

**** The Hôtel de Nesle was a mansion on the outer edge of Paris. Built around the Tour de Nesle, a 13th-century guard tower, the Hôtel was torn down in 1665. (There is apparently a currently operational hotel also called the Hôtel de Nesle; presumably there is no connection beyond the name.)

The wedding of Henri de Bourbon, the Huguenot King of Navarre, and Marguérite de Valois, the Catholic Princess of France, took place on August 18, 1572. However, as we all know, royal weddings are not simple affairs but ARE widely and lavishly celebrated. As such, thousands of Catholics and Protestants poured into Paris in the weeks prior to the wedding, leading to rapidly increasing tension between the faiths. In addition, both parties remained in the city for several days afterwards to continue celebrations such as this one.

This would prove fatal.

***** Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois is a Catholic church located directly across from the Louvre Palace, which was the royal palace at the time this opera takes place. And in fact, the bell of Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois was actually the signal for the beginning of the massacre in real life.

****** Known now as the Cross of Lorraine, the Cross of Anjou was a double-barred cross associated with the (Catholic) Valois family. As anyone who has been following the historical part of this Opera Simplified will realize, the dowager royal family consisted of a marriage between King Henri II de Valois and Caterina de Medici, aka Catherine de Médicis, making all their children, including King Charles IX and his sister Marguérite de Valois, descendants of both families.

******* This line is sometimes altered slightly and given to both Raoul and Valentine.

This Roman city

This Roman city, mainly on the island, but with annexes, north and south, on the mainland, according to the legend of St. Genevieve, repels the assault of Attila, is captured by Clovis at the end of the fifth century, and is made his capital. During the early monarchy, the island was the city, the home of the kings, the seat of the church, of government, and of justice, crowded with narrow streets and churches, and densely populated.

Gradually as the walls of Paris were extended in a series of circuits from the twelfth to the eighteenth century, the island city was eased of its close population, and at last in our own day was cleared altogether by gigantic sweeps of destruction and reconstruction. It once contained some 50,000 inhabitants, at least fifty or sixty streets, and more than twenty churches. To-day it has few private houses left, except at each end. As we said, the Citi consists of Cathedral, Palais de Justice, and Sainte Chapelle, Conciergerie and Prisons, Prefecture of Police, Chamber of Commerce, a huge hospital, a huge barrack, a flower market — vast places,’ gardens, quays, and Morgue. This is almost all that stands on the Paris of Julian, Clovis, and Hugh Capet.

Roman and Gallo-Roman circuit

It is a task full of historical teaching to trace the successive circuits and the walls of the city as it gradually grew. Each circuit represents an epoch in the history of France. First comes the old Roman and Gallo-Roman circuit — the Citi or island with some fortified post at the head of the North Bridge (PI. du Chatelet) and at the South Bridge (R. St. Jacques) extending on the South mainland as far as the Thermes with villas, theatres, cemeteries, and establishments outside the city circuit. The second circuit is that of Louis the Stout, the great restorer of the monarchy (1130), who built the Grand Chdtelet on the site of the Place du Chatelet, and the Petit Chatelet on the Quai St. Michel (left bank).

The third circuit is that of the great king Philip Augustus (1200), who built the Louvre, completed Notre Dame, and carried the walls North as far as St. Eustache, South as far as the Pantheon private tour istanbul, and included the smaller island, so that the original Citi was now but a sixth of the city. Next comes the fourth circuit, raised by Etienne Marcel in the middle of the fourteenth century, just after Poitiers during the great English War, who is duly commemorated by the fine equestrian statue beside the Hotel du Ville. Marcel laid the foundations of the Bastille, and repaired and strengthened rather than extended the circuit of Philip Augustus; and then the whole work was completed by Charles v. in the second half of the fourteenth century.

The fifth great circuit is that of Richelieu under Louis XIII. who carried the city walls Northwards as far as the existing inner Boulevards, and the R. Richelieu and its quarter is one of its additions; and Southwards it inclosed the whole district of the Luxembourg and its gardens to the Jardin des Plantes. The sixth great change came in the reign of Louis xiv. who conceiving himself invincible in France, if not in Europe, found fortifications in Paris needless and barbarous. Accordingly in his reign the old walls of Henry iv. and Richelieu were razed, and the Boulevards that we know were constructed as spacious avenues. On the site of the ancient Tour de Nesle, the Institute and the College Mazarin were built; the Louvre was completed and transformed into an Italian palace; the Tuileries were continued until they joined the Louvre; the Invalides and other great works were continued, and finally Paris received its character of an open modern city of Palladian architecture.
