I've decided it would be fun to start to a new blog feature. Every Monday I will post a trivia question related to the 18th century, and the first person to leave a comment with the correct answer will have their name and response posted the following week.
I have a pretty easy one for you this week:-
What historical figure had several pets, including a monkey, birds, and small dogs (two of whom were named Mimi and Ines)?
The diary of an eighteenth century French noblewoman, and information relating to her world.

Marie Antoinette, perhaps, though now that I have guessed, I googled her and couldn't find anything specific, on Mimi or Inez, but I thought I remembered a monkey in the movie?
ReplyDeleteNice guess and it wouldn't surprise me if she did have a monkey, but no, it's wasn't her.
ReplyDeleteCould it be Catherine the Great?
ReplyDeleteIt was not Catherine the Great, but she seems like the type of person who would've had a lot of animals, doesn't she?
