Jeanne of Valois-Saint-Rémy

French adventuress and thief
Years: 1756 - 1791

Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy, "Comtesse de la Motte" (22 July 1756 – 23 August 1791) was a notorious French adventuress and thief; she is married to Nicholas de la Motte, whose family's claim to nobility is dubious.

She herself is an impoverished descendant of the Valois royal family through an illegitimate son of King Henry II.

She is known for her prominent role in the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, one of many scandals that lead to the French Revolution and destroy the monarchy of France.
