Katy's Corner: Louis, Grand Dauphin
Come with me down the rabbit hole about the children of Louis XIV, won't you? This one on Louis' only "legitimate" child, the grand Duaphin Louis.
Some fun links I used to research this episode:

Yes, do watch the awesome yet “direct quote” Versailles series which takes lots of entertaining dramatic liberties I would find normal in opera! Also, I also recommend listening to the Lully opera Isis which indiscreetly puts the mythological Juno and Io in a position mirroring that between Montespan and De Ludres (did you mention her at all?) anyway, am happy to nerd out about Isis, which has just had an excellent new recording released! When it was premiered, Lully was in hot water, and his librettist was temporarily dismissed from court! This opera would definitely be something I would nominate for a patreon special episode…
Have you and Nathan watched the Versailles series on Netflix?!
