    I am Yolande de Polastron, I was the favourite of Marie Antoinette, whom I first met when she was presented at the Palace of Versailles in 1775, the year after Marie Antoinette became the Queen of France. I was considered one of the great beauties of pre-Revolutionary society, but my extravagance and exclusivity earned me many enemies.
