Happy 299th birthday to Madame de Pompadour! 🎂
Meant new year sorry
Lol there were exactly 299 likes on this video before I liked it
She doesn't look a day over the age of 42!
🎊✨Happy Birthday!
@@ChelseaH1 lol😂
We finally get to see what you look like! You are a very handsome and intelligent young man! I love forgotten lives, you always manage to find people I have never heard of! Thank you for all your hard work!
Absolutely! 100% Agree with U🤘💙
Thanks for your kind words :)
Oh wow, I did not picture that face with that voice, gorgeous and brilliant.
I was indeed thinking the same. I enjoy watching your videos and now there is a face behind them I enjoy them even more.
I’m curious where you are from! I couldn’t place the accent!
okay so not only are we getting great content but we getting eye candy at the end.. go off king
😅😉 thanks :)
Right?! Such a nice surprise 😍
This made me laugh because it's so forward
Jasmin Velazquez gotta shoot me shot somehow
The Madame de Pompadour episode of Doctor Who back in the day is still one of my favorites. She was such an incredible woman and the show did her a compliment. I always hated that he didn’t go back and get her before her death.
The Girl in the Fireplace is my favourite David Tennant episode. 🤗
"I've just snogged madame de pompadour"
Same it will always remain my favourite dr who episode
Funny I often reminisce about that episode too.💖
Madame De Pompadour had more influence than many of the men in court! The fact she had something to do with the Treaty of Versailles is monumental on its own! So much life in such a short time! Nice reveal at the end! But get ready for marriage proposals haha!
Indeed and thanks 😅
She is like every other woman, ambitious, materialistic and sexual.
@@ericastier1646 made her way by the spreading legs...how intellectual !!! And of course due her clever actions whole kingdom got weakened!
@@sergejstankovic2709 well , i don't think you can glorify her with having caused such decisive calamities. Her goal was to seduce the King, she succeed at that. It's a woman's way of doing politics.
His uncle was her guardian and arranged the marriage. Do you think they really loved each other? Most often the husbands of these women were more interested in what they could get out of the deal than about their wives.
Thank you for the face reveal. I enjoy listening to your voice and it’s nice putting a face with a voice. You’re handsome and thank you for the videos
Thanks very much :)
I wanna be a French mistress...seems like a nice gig.
lol
No you wanna be the chief French mistress lol
Same 😂
Oh it was!It was indeed---up until the revolution.Madame du Barry came to a very bad end.
Except for that whole part about having to have sex with French royalty... who didn't bathe... and were reallllly into oral sex. 🤢
She was described as Louis XV's true love. The queen even had a good opinion of her.
Oh my gosh just imagining them all dressed up, such as her wearing the Diana costume, sounds SO magical!
Remember, they didn't bathe often.
@@Pfsif lmao I’ll remember to bring my nose plugs
Bon anniversarie Madame. I have not forgotten you. I named my beautiful white cat after you, Madame de Pompadour Georgette.
I remember first learning about her from a Dr. Who episode, lol
Same lol
Me too
Great video again FL - have shared this one - keep up the great work
The Crime Reel are we to see u next ??!!
@@ginatrombetto1931 Hi Gina, I may do a little finger reveal in a few years lol
Cheers TCR :)
I would have never thought you were so young. From the sound of your voice I thought you were a older man. You may be young but you have a old soul. That why I think you're so attractive to time of long ago. You must have had many interesting past lives. Keep up the great work because I know everyone appreciate the time and effort you put in your work.🙋
Thanks for your kind words :)
I love how a young, (also cute I might add) gentleman has chosen so often to champion women of history for their victories. You are truly unique and highly valuable to this world. Thank you 🙏
Well done story - as always. Interesting that she was so openly respectful to the Queen. Different times lol
Awww youre cute, also i think this is the best episode so far. She really did held the Kings heart.
Thank you 💙
Dr Who #10 made her sound unfailingly brilliant and universally loved. Sounds like she did alright, though.
Forgotten Lives, another fantastic video. It's a shame she died at 42. But I guess a lot of people died relatively young in that time period. The face reveal at the end of the video was very nice, since I didn't know what you looked like before? It's great to put the "face behind the voice" in my mind. 😀
Thanks, glad to hear it :)
@@ForgottenLives You're welcome Forgotten Lives. It's always a pleasure listening to your videos. 🙂
Oh I am so glad to put a face to the voice of Forgotten Lives ! Thank u so much for your channel ! Much enjoyment !
Omg he is so handsome 😍🥰❤!!
Thanks 🥰🥰
Only in France would the king be given an official Chief Mistress.
Not the last one either - see François Mitterrand
Lol😂😂
Official Mistress is Concubine tho.....is not normal in royal lives?only in Europe removed it years later tho.........it was a must or custom to have one or 2 or several, in Bhutan it still is...its just this current king said he doesn't want one
@@mariajason3547 Not the same, though I see where you're coming from. The official Mistress had to be married to someone else and of noble blood. A concubine as far as I know is an official title that still includes marriage and the laws involved in the marriage (caring for your spouse etc). A concubine isn't a level of infidelity, unlike having a mistress that is recognized by all your friends.
Good, I love knowledge getting fleshed out after introductions to historical figures in tv shows (Doctor Who) :D
I saw her there too! Then i looked her up, but this was much better than what i read.
Yeah! Exactly what I was thinking!
Between Mortis and you, I get all my bases covered! I am a crazy history nerd who also is fascinated by true crime and the supernatural. I'm so glad he pimped your channel out, I have enjoyed everything I have watched so far! 🙃 Thank you for all the hard work and research!
Awesome!! Thanks :)
Holy wow, smart and gorgeous! And I'm not talking about the subject of this video. dang....
Haha thanks 🥰
I love how you pronounce all these names. You make it seem effortless!! Awesome videos!!
Love your voice...very handsome too! Keep
Your videos coming. I enjoy your selected subjects very much
Thanks very much! Will do !
ALWAYS a pleasure when you upload a video 😊
Glad to hear it :)
Thank you!! Your channel is the only thing worth watching on CZcams. As always great, mind-blowing and incredibly interesting. Love your channel!!!
Thanks for the support!
Thank You FL & Blessed New Year Everyone 🍾🥂😁
Thank you, you too Lana
Happy new year! Thanks for the support!
It's so good to see the face behind the voice!!! Thank you so much for all the hard work! This is one of my favorite channels. I hope you have a wonderful New Year💐
Thanks for support!
I’ve just found this channel but I’ve already subscribed. A wonderful idea to speak about forgotten lives, while most channels focus on the opposite. Things most of us history buffs already know. I love learning new things so this channel is perfect for me!
Nice to “see” the face behind the Voice! Great narrative this time, as usual, too. One wonders about that convenient death of Mme. Chaterrand (sp?) only a year after Louis meets Pompadour. Or was the Queen not as “accepting” as she seemed? ☺️ How do French people feel today about their aristocracy in general? Probably not as sentimental as outsiders looking in, I’ll bet. Thanks again, Forgotten Lives. You’re so young to be so wise. (Almost rhymes, doesn’t it?)
So many great questions, it also makes me wonder, thanks for the support!
Some French people will cling to anything from the past, including aristocracy, as they see it as the "purest" of times, when France was only populated by French, and not "polluted" by the eclectic population France has today .
What's funny is, France stole African men and kids as young as 13 to fight front row in WW2, then she used some more as almost free laborers to reconstruct the country after the war, while still using the "ancient" colonies as her personal bank.
Yet more than half of the French citizens hate the fact that Black, Brown and Muslim people live in their "republic" , when those people never asked to be there to begin with.
It's like the racist americans who ask the decedents of stolen Africans to "go back home" whenever they express a desire to have a sub culture, keep some personal traditions, or simply denounce the injustices perpetuated against them.
France has an enormous problem with her past and she makes the wrong people pay for it. France went to get cheap labor from Africa until..1998. Those people have kids now, and yet, they want them to leave when THEY made France what it is today by working for Reno, Citroen and other big corporations for almost one fifth of the salary of a white or french worker.
Hate and bigotry make no sense
@@Those.who.stay.silent.consent You seem to be kind-hearted. [I would use other initials, however, in the US.]
As you learn the meaning of RWS, you will discover the “sense” behind its purposes, what it is, how it works & you will see the need to choose either Justice, or joining with the people of The Lie. 💕🌼🦩 Thanx 4 your thoughts.
I've always wanted to hear about Madame de pompadour thanks for making this video! Also, I wasn't expecting the face behind the voice! I was pleasantly surprised! Homme beau 😊
I like how we’re all fangirling over you haha! Another great and well researched video, thank you for the great content and the eye candy at the end lol
There you are! so wonderfull to see the faces that go with the voices. Thanks for the last year of bringing these lives back to memory and let´s hope for an even better 2021!
She Was Wrong For Not Being Honest To Her Husband. I Guess, Initially, She Didn't Want To Disappoint Him (Due To His Feelings For Her). As For YOU...You Make Me Feel Older Than I Am! I'm Pretty Sure, You Fooled Us All. Thanks Again For Another Great Video...And, HAPPY NEW YEARS!
Wow, so wonderful to see the man behind the voice! Thank you for these videos. I learn about people I have never heard of. Happy New Year.
Happy new year, thanks :)
And they said 'it never happened in our day' - 🙄 - well, obviously it was all going on 🤔😂.
As Usual, Auld Mamma Bear hear wonders what happened to her children.
Thanks so much for your work, research and information.
Good wishes to you, all you love and followers Worldwide Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🗺️ 🍀 🏴.
P. S., I envy your tidy house, Bonnie Lad!!! 👍🏼 ❤️
Thanks for all the support!!
Seeing you was such a beautiful present for the last day of the year! Thank you for all the research and time you take to represent those forgotten lives.
Love seeing the face to the voice!!! Such a surprise, thank you for your videos and all the best for 2021!
So glad to see such young person with an interest in history. Reminds me of myself in my own youth! Could you please do a bio of Empress Maria Theresa,mother of Marie Antoinette and and a very remarkable woman in her own right? Thanks for all the great videos and Happy New Year!
Will look into her !
thank you for making quarantine go by faster, love the vids 🤩
EXACTLY.
Good wishes 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🏴💐🌃🌟🥂
@@janetcw9808 happy holidays ✨🎉⭐
Well done, and also well read! Thank you and keep up your good work.
Thanks for the support ☺️
Thank you for all your hard work! May you have a safe, healthy happy new year!
Thanks for the support, happy new year!
I loved this. Such a wonderful job,!
This is a great video thank you for teaching so much more about her. She sounds like an amazing person
I already love this story "set the standard for all mistresses to come"
This is my favourite video so far, Thankyou!
Thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Madame de Pompadour. Thank you for sharing
Your videos are both entertaining and informative. You really do bring History to life for me. I’m a recent subscriber to your channel and very much look forward to exploring more of your videos. 😊
Absolutely "loved" your video about, Madame de Pompadour, chief mistress to King Louis XV, of France. She was a very fascinating woman of which I didn't know who did alot of political, social, personal, responsibilities for the King and France. I believe her and her mother probably thought the fortune teller meant she would be the wife of a king not the mistress, as it turned out. Great investigation of this video and all of the various videos you have brought us this year. Happy New Year to you, family, friends and your subscribers. Take care 🎉
Thanks for the support, happy new year :)
Your videos are my morning calming yet educational spree along with coffee♥️
Wonderful Job! Wow!
The topic was fascinating. The others at court may not have cared for her, but they were well aware of what making a public comment or action against her would do. She might’ve disliked schooling, unless it was an asset to her life. Supporting the Arts as she did, created an unbelievable setting for Scholars and Artist which are still valued and studied today. This woman was incredibly intelligent when charting a pathway towards what she longed to become. A notoriously treacherous court, how well she achieved her main desire- to love a King, and more importantly, to have him love her as much in return. Savvy girl, smarter woman.
Wow! What an Excellent Job you have done! Kudos! Intelligent, interesting presentation of your topic. Beautiful coverage and French pronunciations. The media used to illuminate the subject- spot on. So pleased for you!
Brilliant coverage!
:) Bravo! More! More!!
Thanks for the support :D
Love your channel! You always do a stellar job and this one is no exception. Thanks for all your work and often inspiring me to do further research on names or incidents you happen to cover. Best of everything for the New Year! Cheers!
I absolutely love your fantastic pronunciations. Great work.
Face reveal! You're cute...I did not mean that in a creepy way.
The Louis XIII, XIV, XV & XVI are fascinating. So I'm a fan of French history from 1600 to 1800. Love your content and proper French pronunciations!
It's a great time period and thanks :)
You might enjoy "To Dance with Kings" by Rosalind Laker; it chronicles the rise and fall of Versailles through four generations of women who live alongside and within it.
I am shocked in a good way to find out that a young man with such intellect and great voice/diction delivers flawless historical events. Very impressed and keep up the excellent job! 👏👏👏
Just found forgotten lives. I love it! Thank you
Brilliant video! I love all your videos! Keep going!!
Great channel. Thank you for doing this.Your voice is very pleasant to listen. I learned something interesting today 💗
Just found you, you have a lovely voice, just perfect. The content is so good & just the right length of time. Thank you.
The best channel! Thank you!
Yours is one of my favorite historical biographies channels. While I have heard about many of these people, you always add something fresh to their stories. And now I have a face to match the voice, and quite a nice match too. 😃😄😊
your channel is a favorite of many, and certainly of mine.
may the new year be filled with every good thing for you.
You are amazing! Love your channel ♥️!

I had an old fashioned fabric portrait of her... she's so beautiful
I JUST SWALLOWED MY NAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve watched every single one of your videos...given that I am obsessed with royal history...your voice is absolutely amazing! You’ve inspired me to start talking about royal history on my channel! I’ve subscribed to your channel as well!👏🏼🙏🏼
What is your channel all about?
Good luck with it and kind wishes x
@@janetcw9808 I’ve been exploring many different avenues from fashion to crafting, history and more..somehow history on royals, keeps hitting me..and being a former makeup artist, and having worked with stylists on many designs..royal attire, along with etiquette and just how they managed back in their time...always fascinated me. Royal topics seem to always win!
@@janetcw9808 and thank you kindly for your wishes..and may you also continue to do whatever it is you enjoy!
Thanks for the support! Best of luck :)
Thank you for informative and interesting content. And Happy Birthday Madame Pompadour.
I love history, thank you. This was brilliant and interesting.
I really enjoy these videos. The information gives a clear understanding of the person described. I always feel as though I were actually there with them. It's huge fun and really educational. I love history! Happy New Year to everyone involved with the making of this video. God bless you all. Thank you for the video and for educating me.
Thanks for the support 😊 happy new year!
I love listening to your channel, so it was lovely to put a face to the very distinctive voice. Keep up the great work !!!
Thanks, will do !
Ah, the face behind the lovely voice arrives. Hooray!
Thank you for your video! Great to see the face to to voice. Have a Happy New Year!
Happy new year!!
More like these please!! Love ur videos!! 😍😍
I love your music. It reminds me of rainy days.
In a time of political unrest and uncertainty, social upheaval, and technoaddiction it is refreshing to see in depth research and intelligent compilation of integral historical figures. I know this is mentioned often in this thread but I feel that despite not being related to the content of the video (Excellent by the way) it heartens me to see that such a young person be so deeply interested and knowledgeable in historical figures an their importance in how they shaped modern culture. If anything it gives me hope that all is not lost and we are not actually doomed to mental regression of the new generation. Bravo! Young man. Keep up the good work and don't let the deserved compliments go to your head. You have the beginnings of a very respectable career in education of people young and old through the new way. I am in awe and envy.
Thanks very much :D
Wow dude Im so glad to see you at last!
Thanks for all the support 😊
A really interesting video. I didn't know much about her, but now I know a little more. Thank you.
Wonderful story. Thank you for posting
Great job!...
Thank you for including yourself in vid....I find it so important to have a face to put with a voice...
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for the history You have presented it very well.

Wow what a life. Thanks forgotten lives
I love your videos and channel!! Keep up the Great work!!!

A yew tree???
Oh those costumes are kinda funny.
It was nice to see your face at the end of the show. It's nice to put a face to the narration. You are so knowledgeable for such a young man. Well wishes for you in the new year to come! And hopefully plenty more narrations. Lol
Thanks very much, happy new year!
You make really great videos! Thank you!
Really loved this one huge fan of doctor who and really loved the episode with her.
Happy née year to you and your family
Happy new year!
Oh! Hello! Nice to see ya! Lovely, handsome young man. You look about the age of my sons. Your parents must be really proud of you. xx
I hope so :)
No wonder that Madame de Pompadour guardian took her under his wing and the fortune teller saw her 'capturing the heart of the king' - Pompadour must have been already drop dead gorgeous as a child, as seen from her pictures. It's sad that her mother groomed her to become 'that' but seeing the alternative how the poor lived back in the day... the mother probably wished the best for her daughter and herself.
Jeanne was indeed a beautiful child and very charismatic - the nuns at the convent where she was educated apparently loved her dearly and continued to maintain an interest in her long after she had finished her education and married. I don't think I would describe it as 'grooming' - in French society, the position of king's mistress was considered highly desirable and there was very little shame involved. However Jeanne was not poor - her stepfather Tourehem was extremely well off. The Poisson and Tournehem families were, if not exactly upper class aristocrats, at the very least solid middle class. Jeanne was never in danger of starving.
