'Celebrated Crimes, Vol. 8: Part 3: The Marquise de Ganges' Summary
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. He stabbed her to death in a fit of rage. The Marquise's assassination was a shocking crime that sent reverberations through Europe. It was a reminder of the violence that could be perpetrated against women in the 18th century. The Marquise's story is a tragic one, but it is also a story of strength and resilience. She was a woman who lived her life on her own terms, and she died fighting for her freedom.Book Details
