A pesar de su absoluta carencia de agua y jabón, el rey Enrique IV, rey de Francia y Navarra, fue un verdadero seductor. Su primera esposa, Margot de Valois, nunca olvidó la impresión que sintió en su noche de bodas al descubrir que su marido olía “a pies y a ajo”. Su segunda esposa, la reina María de Médicis, dijo haber quedado “terriblemente perfumada” por el olor de las axilas de su esposo en la luna de miel. Su amante Gabrielle d'Estrées le dijo a Enrique IV que tenía mucha suerte de ser rey porque, de otra forma, ninguna mujer se acercaría a él. #secretoscortesanos #historia #francia #france #margotdevalois #valois #houseofvalois #monarquia #monarchy #realeza #royalty #europeanroyals #europeanroyalty http://bit.ly/2BNgXVN
