Diane de Joannis de Chateaublanc, the Marquise de Ganges, was a beautiful, intelligent, and scandalous woman. She was also a victim of a brutal assassination in 1767. The Marquise's murder was a crime of passion, committed by her lover, the Chevalier de Ganges. The Chevalier was a jealous and possessive man who believed that the Marquise was unfaithful to him.
