Tangisode: The Marquise Who Poisoned Paris - Marie-Madeleine d'Aubray

from Dressed for the Grave · host Melissa Barney and Noelle Gordon

In this Tangisode, we slip into the shadowy world of Marie-Madeleine d'Aubray, the 17th-century aristocrat who turned arsenic into an art form. Behind powdered wigs and polished manners, she orchestrated a chilling series of poisonings that helped ignite France's obsession with invisible murder. What started as whispered scandal unraveled into one of history's most infamous poison cases, blurring the line between high society and calculated death. Because sometimes the most dangerous weapon isn't a blade… it's what's slipped quietly into your drink.
