Survivor

A young French noblewoman with land, an education, and every advantage her era allowed — until an accusation upended all of it.

Identity Revealed in the episode

This episode's subject was, by the standards of her time, a woman of real standing: landed, literate, and likely educated in the subjects available to noblewomen of her era.

None of that protected her from what came next. This episode follows how status and education were no shield against accusation in her era, and how her story survived anyway.
