The New Murrey and Blue blog

A little later than our period, but sometimes a laugh pops up out of nowhere and I have to share. I was looking through catch-up TV and came upon the following blurb for an episode of the Royal Palaces series:

“…Versailles is one of the most enormous and impressive palaces in the world. Louise XIV built it in 1634 as a way of controlling the French aristocracy…” (quite apart from the chronological anachronism).

LOUISE?????? So that explains the high heels and elaborate wigs!
