from The Andrew Lang Library · host Andrew Lang

In which we explore the curious and tangled tale of Jeanne de Valois and the Cardinal Rohan, whose credulity and ambition become entwined with royal intrigues and a scandalous diamond necklace; the narrative unfolds amid the glittering yet precarious courts of France, where appearances and deceptions often mask deeper truths. The story illuminates the complexities of human folly and deceit, revealing how pride, desperation, and the allure of royal favour can weave a web as intricate and perilous as the jewels themselves.
