I am Jeanne de la Motte, I was a notorious French adventuress and thief; I was married to Nicholas de la Motte whose family's claim to nobility was dubious. My myself was an impoverished descendant of the Valois royal family through an illegitimate son of King Henry II. I has been known for my prominent role in the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, one of many scandals that led to the French Revolution and helped to destroy the monarchy of France.
