She's not particularly rich, but she is a fortune teller. matched

She makes her money, as lots of people do at this time. matched

telling fortunes, predicting the future, a bit of herbalism on the side, all that kind of stuff. matched

She gets arrested. matched

And the problem that the French authorities have, in fact, anyone that uses this kind of method of torture, is that people will say anything to stop you doing that or to delay their execution. matched

So she starts to say that, no, no, don't kill me. matched

I can tell you things. matched

I've got more things. matched

And then she says that there's a plot. matched

There's a big poisoner plot to kill the king. matched

In Paris. matched

And the one that's really central to this is a woman who's called Catherine Monvoisin, but she's known as Lavoisin. matched

And she's somebody that you would go to if you wanted a love spell or if you wanted an abortion or your palm read or all this kind of stuff. matched

And this kind of thing has been going on in Paris and indeed Europe for hundreds, hundreds of years. matched

Yeah. matched
