Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Remy: Comtesse de la Motte
In the late 18th century, an interesting event was a crucial milestone that helped incite the French Revolution. Someone cleverly and accurately forged the Queen’s signature and purchased an extremely expensive diamond necklace. When the Queen denied ordering it, the jeweler was driven to bankruptcy.
After The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, the already tainted image of the royalty was tarnished even further, resulting in the French Revolution. That ‘someone’ who forged the signatures was none other than Remy! Jeanne de Valois Saint Remy was an adventurist and thief born in 1756. she was quite an important figure in the history of France.
