How astute of Madame De Ventadour to see that bleeding patients was doing more harm. So brave as well. Thank you. 😊

She lived upto an impressive age of 90. Her noble act of saving Dauphin's life is commendable. Bleeding as a cure was a gross medical malpractice of that time. Thank you for sharing and enriching our history.

90 was certainly quite old but not totally unheard of for the time. Nobles who weren’t royal and therefore didn’t have the life-shortening stress of rule but still enjoyed the finery, wealth and all that comes with it regularly live to their late 60s or 70s and there have been a few cases of late 80s and 90s provided they survived any wars or plagues of the time (including childbirth for women)

@@emilybarclay8831 Come on…the so-called stress was passed on to their underlings (modern CEOs)…the problem they had was probably related to any fear of falling from the graces of the king/queen and having the property obtained from the royals taken back (which included any wealth).

I read about the Duchesse De Ventadour . What a woman! What courage ! What bravery ! That lady put her life on the line , and that's no joke. People must know that the Duchesse took a major major risk . If that child would have died , she would have lost her head. But she stuck to her guns , and did the right thing! And the child grew up to become King Louis XV. What a badass !! Great Lady . MAJOR RESPECT ! SALUTE!

So interesting! I didn't know Louis XV lost his mother, father & brother all at once from measles, & barely survived himself, but massive respect to Madame de Ventadour! It's easy to say such medical treatments are incredibly stupid in hindsight, but the whole approach to knowledge before the development of the scientific method was vastly different, & people who questioned the received wisdom were rare. Louis was lucky to have one by his side.

Madame Ventadour an extraordinary woman who saved the life of King Louis XV and had a long life for that time with 90 years if it weren't for her the story would be very different, young Louis XV very likely would have died with bloodletting and Louis's libertine nephew XIV would have become King

The thing that strikes me most is how a disease such as measles can b fatal. And yet, in the US, there are people who turn down the vaccine and are willing to risk the potential of death because of it. Knowing that this channel is devoted to the French monarchy, but it would be an interesting side light to explore subjects such as this, such as Louis Pasteur's contributions to science.
