Best scenes of Marie Antoinette Season 1 according TO ME! (Ranked)

[adelaide-of-versailles]

The mesdames calling madame de pompadour "maman-putain" is so funny to me. Do you have more random funny shot that they (including their brother) did.

Oh anon I was made for this

Dauphin called Madame de Pompadour I belieave "Madame Pompom"

Adelaide, when she was like 9 to 11, escaped to go "bring back the head of the English king like Judith and Holofernes", I believe she got as far as the stables, where a stablehand had a donkey waiting for her. The book I read this from, I can't remember it's name, said "That's the spirit! Here is a heroine with whom the Judith of Bethulia is only a pale moonlight." and honestly I love it

When Dauphin was a child one of his younger sisters- probably Adelaide given the fact that she was one of the few that he saw as a child -slipped a curse word and he gave her such a bad reprimand that she never forgot it and she started crying

Henriette, Adelaide, and Dauphin's wife, Marie Therese Raphaelle, had a little network trying to get rid of Madame de Pompadour, they were *so* into it, Henriette was the first to call her Maman Putain, and Adelaide and Raphaelle devoted themselves to intel. Adelaide was very young at the time and I imagine that was her first foray into politics

One of Adelaide's governesses when she was a teenager accidentally gave her erotica, although this might be false

When Adelaide and Victoire were on their last leg, living in Naples, they had a concert from the governer of the Count of Chastellux, who played the violin (shittily). It was so bad that Adelaide, who was a violinist so good that even the misogynistic men of the French court (Violin was considered a masculine instrument at the time) admitted she was good, took the violin, playing music. Unfortunately, despite the fun that Adelaide was having- which she sorely needed honestly considering this was after the French Revolution -Duchesse de Narbonne gave her a harsh rebuke because she was a Princess. Apparently, an artist named Goubaud, who I believe is Innocent-Louis Goubaud sketched the scene, but I don't believe we have it anymore.

After Louise went to her convent, Madame Campan, Victoire's lady in waiting, asked if Victoire would ever go to a convent. Victoire assured her that she wouldn't, and said, "Here’s the armchair that ruins me", pointing to the chair she was laying in.

Adelaide was called Madame Torchon by her family and friends, even her older sister Louise Elisabeth called her that in a letter. She called herself it in a letter to the Countesse de Civrac, who I believe at the time was Anne-Marie de La Faurie de Monbadan

If I have more I'll add them!

Dentro al mio petto è una candela accesa,

Di dentro brucia e di fuori non pare.

Se c'è qualcun che abbia provato amore,

Abbia pietà del mio 'nfiammato core...

(Giuseppe Tigri, Canti Popolari Toscani, Amore Sfortunato, 1856)
