Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sophie Dawes: Queen of Chantilly On inquiry, I discovered that whereas very few of my English friends had ever even heard of such a person, Sophie Dawes, Mme.

CHAPTER III Sophie marries her niece to the marquis de Chabannes--Correspondence between the Palais-Royal and the Palais-Bourbon. DURING her visits to the Palais-Royal, Mme. Sophie, always on the watch to catch influential men in her toils, had made the acquaintance of Talleyrand, prince of turncoats. We have already mentioned the fact that Sophie had a niece, or someone whom she called her niece (some historians say she was Sophie's unacknowledged daughter); having placed her nephew on the road to success, she was very anxious to find a suitable husband for this niece who rejoiced in the name of Matilda Dawes. Now Talleyrand had a nephew, the marquis de Chabannes de La Palice, who seems to have rivalled the baron de Feucheres in his lack of observation. Talleyrand soon became on very good terms with Mme. Sophie, and between them they decided to make a match between the young marquis and Miss Matilda Dawes. M. de Talleyrand had not always taken such an interest in his nephew's welfare. The Talleyrand's Poor Relations name of de Chabannes de La Palice is an old and an honoured one in France, however Frederic de Chabannes, the young man's father, seems to have been rather a ne'er-do-weel with a large family and a small purse owing to his expensive tastes. For many years Talleyrand, the successful man of the world, refused to have anything to do with these poor relations, but when M. de Choulot, the duc de Bourbon's capitaine des chasses, married Mile. Elisabeth de Chabannes, M. de Talleyrand suddenly remembered that he had heard the name somewhere or other, nay, he was even related to the family and would be glad to become better acquainted with his relatives. Mme. de Choulot's brother naturally came to visit her at Chantilly and in Paris...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of the British woman who left behind life in a brothel to become a baroness in a French chateau, and perhaps a killer. She was the daughter of an alcoholic Isle of Wight smuggler. Much of her childhood was spent in the island’s workhouse. Yet Sophie Dawes threw off the shackles of her downbeat formative years to become one of the most talked-about personalities in post-revolutionary France. It was the ultimate rags to riches story that would see her become the mistress of the fabulously wealthy French aristocrat Louis Henri de Bourbon, destined to be the last Prince of Condé. Her total subjugation of the aging prince, her obsessive desire for a position among the highest echelon of French royalist society following the Bourbon restoration, and her designs upon a hefty chunk of Louis Henri’s vast fortune would lead to scandal, sensation, and then infamy. The Infamous Sophie Dawes examines her island background before tracing her extraordinary rise from obscurity to becoming a baroness who ruled the prince’s château at Chantilly as its unofficial queen and intrigued with the King of the French to get what she wanted. But how far did she go? The book examines the mysterious death of Louis Henri in 1830 and uses newly discovered evidence in a bid to determine the part Sophie may have played in his demise. “Mouthwatering scandal, dangerous affairs, this story has the lot!” —Books Monthly

Book excerpt: "She Stands Accused" by Victor MacClure is a series of historical female crime accounts of the lives and deeds of notorious women who were murderers, cheats, and cozeners. Justice was executed for some of them while others were accused of crimes or were acquitted at least in law. Excerpt: "Locusta, the poisoner whom Agrippina, wanting to kill the Emperor Claudius by slow degrees, called into service, and whose technique Nero admired so much that he was fain to put her on his pension list, barely escapes the deodorant. Messalina comes up in memory. And then one finds M. Paul Moinet, in his historical essays En Marge de l'histoire, gracefully pleading for the lady as Messaline la calomniee—yes, and making out a good case for her."
