A crucial historical document shedding light on the infamous Diamond Necklace Affair that rocked 18th-century France. This is the memoir prepared by M. Doillot, the lawyer for Jeanne de Saint-Rémy de Valois, Comtesse de la Motte, in connection with the scandalous affair of the "fameux collier."
The document provides a detailed legal perspective on the Comtesse de la Motte's involvement in the plot to defraud jewelers of a valuable diamond necklace, an affair that implicated Queen Marie Antoinette and significantly damaged the reputation of the French monarchy. This historical account offers valuable insights into the social and political climate of pre-revolutionary France and the machinations surrounding one of its most sensational scandals.
