  I noticed with some of the pictures of Karolina that her outer eyebrows are a lot less full and this can be a symptom of drastically low thyroid. I had my thyroid removed when I was young due to cancer and have twice gone into a low thyroid coma. I had to be hospitalized and given around the clock thyroid replacement through IV before I awoke. It could be that her thyroid was barely producing enough thyroid hormones to keep her alive but seemingly comatose. Idk. Just an idea.

  I really love how you represent history through lens of actual lived lives. It's gripping & engaging & really emphasizes how each of us is a part of history...

  I learned about poor Blanche years ago. It's absolutely disgusting how wealthy ppl get away with the atrocities they commit. Then and now.

  I wonder if the mysterious "dark counts" became inspiration for stories of vampires? They sound very much like the depictions of aristocratic vampires.

  Ahhh... La Voisin... Thanks for including her! She was a real legend during the reign of Louis XIV. I don't think she was as "evil" as she was opportunistic, though she was responsible for convincing many, many people to do evil things themselves. The end result of her potions, powders, and pills (not to mention her abortion services) was to give women (mostly) a sense of agency over their lives in a time when most women had none.

  Poor Blanche, how vile were her family to lock up such a beautiful girl

  Just to note that when they were testing to see if it was Marie Therese, that Alexander was not a descendent of Marie Antionette herself (as she has no descendants past her children) but rather a descendent of her mother, which is why they were still able to do mitochondrial DNA.
