King James VI/I and His Early Love Life
<p>This is Part 1 of a two-part series. King James VI of Scotland and I of England is mainly famous today for giving his name to an English translation of the Bible still held as sacrosanct by many conservative Christians.

The Chevalier d'Eon
<p>The Chevalier d'Eon was a diplomat and spy who made the perplexing decision to declare that she had always been a woman in a time when women were legally and socially marginalized. Her story took her through the halls of power, to defying the monarchy of France itself, and to becoming an international celebrity who fought fencing duels in London.</p><br><p><em>Sources:</em></p><br><p>Clark, Anna.
