Enjoy your videos very much!

My heart weeps for his wife, she desperately sought the affections of a man who didn't give a crap about her...I hope she's at peace in the next life💞

That poor woman. All she wanted was to be loved by her husband.

Being murdered by the man that she so desperately loved is really sad and tragic, poor woman - great video as always!

This case reminds me of a very old film starring Bette Davis so I looked it up it's called 'All this and heaven too' it's about this case. Thanks for the upload❤

"All This And Heaven Too" Bette Davis as The Governess. Charles Boyer as The Duke and Barbara O'Neill (Scarlett's Mother in Gone With The Wind) as The Duchess. Ms. O'Neill received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her portrayal of The Duchess. Excellent Film.

So heartbreaking. She loved her husband dearly and he lost interest because of her weight gain and looks Even though she bore him 10 children, he turned away from her to a younger pretty woman. This story has been repeated so many times with other couples but usually the man doesn't murder the woman whose heart he broke.

I enjoyed this particular case about this Duchess and her "distant" husband. I really had expected the Duchess was going to kill her "unlovable" husband instead of the Duchess being brutally murdered. I noticed that the governess later said that she didn't have an affair with the Duchess's husband. But, it still was a sad case either way for everyone concerned.

For anyone who has lost a soldier Famliy or friend , past and present ... happy Memorial Day

How intriguing! I enjoyed this one so much I was genuinely disappointed when it ended. I could even picture the Duchess writing at her desk hoping this letter will say whatever necessary to bring her love back to her. Such a cold and seemingly heartless time for those that deserved the most respect, especially when labour was so risky back then. Absolutely scandalous turn of events for the Parisian’s and the conspiracy theory was the icing on the cake. I’ve got to say, the dukes explanation for having blood soaked clothing was ahead of its time. I’ve seen some use the most outlandish unbelievable excuses for this day and age! Thanks for that Brief Case!

dang fertile myrtle, she has 10 kids AND almost all of them lived

I love when you do these cases where the person you name in the title is the victim, coz I was sure we are gonna learn how Henriette was murdered by Françoise, but no PLOT TWIST! Poor Duchesse though, she never really got justice, her husband was a cruel narcissistic man 😢

Really appreciate all the time & effort that Brief Case puts in to these videos! 💙

He was good at "fathering children"...what a pig.

What a sad story. Luckily the governess was able to find a new life in the US. How sad for the Duchess. Her husband treated her no better than furniture.

This poor woman. God blessed her with children but also with the louse of a husband. And I felt so sorry that her children had to be raised without her like she was raised with out her mama. He should of had thought about about what he had done to his wife. She loved him so. The letters told of how much he loved him. Thank you for tell us of her sad story.

This shows you can love somebody and give them all of you and you can still get rejected by them in the worse way

Well done, Mr. Case. Timing was perfect. Poured my first cup of coffee and there you are like an old friend with a good story. Thanks for making my morning. Carry on......💌

The Duke was so messy his wife had given birth to his children it's hard to have one but she gave him ten children and he didn't appreciate her or love her but she still loved him even after he cheated on her and was cold towards her this was was the most saddest case out of all of those that I've heard

Love your work, is there any chance of doing a follow up on this and some of your other stories? It would be satisfying to know what the outcomes were for the children. Same for many of your other stories, you could repost with epilogues some of the more popular ones.

I wonder what happened to their children 😯

Interrupted crocheting ear savers by watching this... Yes, I have really varied interests. Thank you, Brief Case for the wonderful afternoon.

Always love these lesser known cases! Read this interesting fact: "The controversy created by the death of the Duc and Duchesse contributed to the start of the French Revolution of 1848. " Dang

"All This, and Heaven Too" is a movie based on this story. Thanks!

1) When a case includes “a young, pretty governess” (nanny/maid) you know where it’s going. 2) Madam Françoise got the wrong end of the stick in all of this: 10(9) kids by the time she was 32 (😮) , a scoundrel for a husband who she loved, no say in anything and an employee who was undermining her marriage. 3) ... D’Lucy WAS intelligent- She got in with her married employer who she knew couldn’t afford a scandal if he broke ties with her. 4) The Duke didn’t deserve his wife but he did deserve

Poor Lady! Only love, that´s all she longed for - just as deep inside we all do... Love from the Alps of Germany ❤️

Perfect timing...its been a long night and this is just what I needed.

Coffee in history one of the best ways to wake up... beautifully narrated amazing content..👍🏼

I gotta give you props mate, I can barely pronounce English names let alone some of the tongue twisters you talk about 😂 🤣 thanks for all your hard work and keep em coming 👍

Don't think I've ever been this early before... so stay safe out there!

A very sad story for the duchess. For myself however, I’m always thrilled to see a new video has come out. I absolutely love the historical stories which are always beautifully delivered.

This was such a great video!! I feel so bad for the Duchess ☹️ She just wanted her husband to love her and he acted so terribly towards her. Thank you for another great video!! ☺🤩

He even looks cruel. Thank you BC. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate a good story on a Monday morning.

11:28 So he was just like any other king from any other country of those times...and exactly like old Versailles kings....so much for revolution.

That poor woman, others have said it, but all she wanted was to be loved by her husband. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to that. The sad part to me, is that she seemed like a beautiful woman.

I feel so sorry for the children. Society's treatment of the duchess would have been nothing to the stigma that was attached to the children. The boys would have been well educated, and could have taken up occupations where they could have established themselves, but the girls, even with large dowries, would have been 'tainted by bad blood'. Their marriage prospects would have been limited to men desperate for money.

Thoroughly enjoyed this as usual. Keep up the good work! Hello to all from Matamata, New Zealand.

Oh, yes. Murder is definitely less appalling than divorce

That poor lady 😞

Well, by golly! That certainly didn't go as I'd figured! I assumed it would be his wife doing away with him for his philandering or through jealousy. Thanks, BC!

Sad to love a man who seems to turn away from you when you age a little , after all u r the same person .

So it seems the media's ability to sway public opinion knows no boundaries when it comes to time period or place.

I can't wait to watch! #6! Good Morning BC! And the lovely BC family! Hope all are staying healthy and well! Another wonderful video ! Full of aristocratic intrigue and base human behaviors! You always do it up right BC, as we say here in TX! 😍

Thank you for this story. I have been putting together my family tree for a few months now - and in doing that...have come to realize that the Duc and Duchess, were my 5th great grandparents. In doing LOTS of research and trying to connect with historians...I believe the story about the Duc fleeing to Nicaragua. He apparently changed his name to Jorge DePraslin, when he got to Nicaragua. My 3rd great grandfather (JJ Depraslin) was born in Nicaragua and I could never figure out how or why Nicaragua showed up in my family tree - until I came across the scenario of the Duc fleeing. It all started to make sense. This has made it very hard to research that side of the family - because there is so many conflicting stories and there is very little information of him in Nicaragua. I appreciate you taking the time to shed light on this horrific tragedy!

in the past the appearance were all, you remained married with a person that you didn't love, it's like being separated at home

Your stories are good, I enjoy listening to them. Thank you

This dude sounds like a keeper don't he?! Geees... Gets his wife preg. 10 times by the time she's 32 but oh I don't love you anymore, I want the young one now... Poor lady, too bad she's the one that ends up hurt in this mess.

I love listening to your stories, and they are the perfect length. Many videos of this type are so long, you have to have a large block of time set aside to listen, so I usually pass them by. Your's are just right, whenever I get a few minutes to sit down and take a break, I always look for your Brief Case. They are so interesting!

You always narrate such interesting cases that I've never heard of. Really love this channel. As for the duchess, poor lady; she deserved so much better than what happened to her.

The husband was to blame he did not show his wife any affection.

Another good case. Love your channel because you find cases that are less well known rather than repeating the same stories as other channels. Keep up the good work! And thank you. Stay safe out there!

Congrats on yours 180K!✨ Poor woman, she only loved a husband who doesn't deserved her. As always, you did a brilliant work on the video BCase. Thank you. May God bless you and your family.

Thank you so much for what you do, it makes everything in my every day that I have to do so much better. Many blessings to you and yours.

Keep up the great work! I got so hooked when I discovered your KZfaq channel.

Finally!! Something worth waiting for to watch!!! ❤️ ❤️

This was such a pathetically transparent crime that I have to wonder if he wanted to get caught.

I throughly enjoy all the work that goes into every video. I love the historical aspect; it creates a full picture of life during the period of time. I also like how you include the entire story starting at birth and progressing forward. Psychological growth and development can contribute to acts followed out later in life. Thank you for all the research that goes in.

Thank you for your consistency in your posts! I binge watch your videos everyday. It helps me sleep/wind down.

Great information on this. Went by really quickly. Really enjoyed it. Sad story though. Thank you for all the hard work.

Thank you, Brief Case, for yet another fascinating and yet tragic case. Those photos are incredible! You really do your research. Have a wonderful week.

You are such an excellent story teller. Thanks for all the hard work you do in putting these videos together.

Monday and yet another Brief Case. Always, as in always, hit the like button before the story even starts. If this was the 80's I'd say Brief Case, you rock!!!

This story reminds me of a 1940's Bette Davis and Charles Boyer movie called "All This And Heaven Too." One of my all time favorites, would you be able too find out if its based on this story? I am 100% convinced that it is. Thank You Brief Case!!!! Watching you from Zambia in Southern Africa!!!!

Great work! I'm a fan 💜

How tragic and sad, I’m so addicted to watching these, thank you for doing these as it must take a lot of time and research.

I wait eagerly for your weekly stories!

Brilliant suff looking forward to the next one

Hi Oddie!!! What a treat 2 stories in 2 days. I sure enjoyed this story. Hope you are staying safe my friend. Love from OHIO. USA.

There's a Betty Davis Movie Called " All This and Heaven Too" about this story! If you are into old movies, check it out, it's a good flick!

Fascinating. Most enjoyable. Thanks

Can you please upload two videos weekly 🙏 , your videos are really great love them so much ❤❤❤

Poor lady.Another quality video Brief Case.

Amazing channel mate really enjoy your videos.

It doesn't seem likely that Henriette was in any way involved with the Duchess's murder so I am glad her life turned out well.

Thank you so much for posting another delightfully creepy story I had never heard about.

This was truly interesting Thank you

Flawless narrative, thank you. Interesting case!

As always most enjoyable narration

I really love the new way your doing these !!!!!
