Is Johanna Pitman an academic? I know they're quite specialized these days, but "historian of blonde hair"? Is she perhaps a cultural historian? This is a delightful little article, by the way. Cynwolfe ( talk) 01:19, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I get more results for Duthé than Duthe without the acute accent, and got no results on Google Books for Du The. Articles are usually titled by the most common form of the name. This is just one search, however, and not a strong argument. Cynwolfe ( talk) 01:51, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
There is a good short biography of Duthe in French here, but Google Translate isn't good enough to figure it out. If anyone reads French and would like to summarize her life, the current article is not a good summary of her life (though interesting enough), the available English sources are scattered around in old texts and confusing.

I'm going to create a little stub for Claude-Jean-Baptiste Hoin, so you can get that redlink out of the caption. Cynwolfe ( talk) 12:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
The Wikipedia entry for the Earl of Egremont makes no mention of his ever being "ruined" -- at least not in financial terms. The impression given is that he was wealthy for life. Perhaps someone who is a specialist in this area of history can elaborate on how and when the Earl may have been "ruined" -- or document that he was not. Thanks ( 71.22.47.232 ( talk) 00:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC))
In Parisian society Duthé developed a certain "reputation by adopting the habit of pausing for extended periods of time before speaking."
Can someone explain how this makes someone "dumb"? Derender755 ( talk) 01:54, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
She was born on the 23rd of November, 1748 at the Palace of Versailles. She came from aa respectable middle class family as her father looked after the chateau, however, it has also been claimed her father was a gentleman's servant to Louis XV. Rosalie was baptised in the parish of St. Louis but her father was absent, it is possible this was due to his work. Therefore, the official document of the baptism was signed by Rosalie's grandmother and godfather. Due to being from a middle-class family, Rosalie only received a good, Catholic education. After her education in a convent, she was sent to live with her wealthy aunt known as Madame Duval. It is believed Madame Duval earned her fortune as a matchmaker.

Google Books has a copy, but limited snippet view. A search on various names brings up nothing. It's unclear if this book contains what is being cited. Someone with a copy who speaks French would be great. -- Green C 22:12, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
