Versailles TV Series
General Discussion
It's not a joke; you can see sunglasses in some paints of the period. It was a fashion of the time, but only for people of very high classes.
About the baby, I suspect he would be Charles de Bourbon, the first son of Louise de la Vallire and Louis XIV. Born in secrecy, he died on the very short age of tow.
About the lady, I had three suspects:
.-Madame Colbert, because when the baby born, Louis XIV asked to Colbert and his wife to take care of Louise while she was pregnant.
.-Madame Beauchamp, the wife of one servant of Colbert. Because when the baby born, in order to keep the secret, Colbert order to one of his servants, Beauchamp, to rise the baby as his son.
.-Perhaps, the lady would be Louise herself.
Even when the dialogue was not the long or entertainer enough, I see more information about the series, and Versailles promises to be one of the hits of the upcoming year. I won't lose it.
