Pilot Episode: The Affair of the Necklace

Welcome to the first episode of "Muses of History"! Our first episode is all about The affair of the diamond necklace and how it helped with the downfall of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France. This story has a con-artist, a cardinal, a huge diamond necklace (Hence the name!), and even a look-a-like Marie.

**And please excuse me, I misspoke and said Marie Antoinette was born in 1775, but she was actually born in 1755**
