How to creat chinese Version for this Page[edit]

As title, how to creat Chinese Version for this page? I would like to ask people who watch the board. {kath9194} —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.115.116.193 (talk) 10:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Her knowledge of poison[edit]

Most sources state that her knowledge came from her lover Godin de Sainte-Croix, who was sent to Bastille by her father. While there, he shared a cell with an Italian prisoner called Exili, who was an expert chemist and poisoner, and taught Sainte-Croix about poisons. There is no evidence to suggest that Marie Madeleine was ever acquainted with him, and it seems highly unlikely since Exili was only incarcerated for three months while Sainte-Croix was jailed for a year.

16 Pints of Water[edit]

Does anyone know why she was forced to drink 16 pints of water before her execution? 60.234.125.235 (talk) 23:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was a form of torture called the Water cure. The Poison Affair page makes this more clear. 210.4.224.172 (talk) 02:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Sainte-Croix[edit]

Anne Somerset states that he died of natural causes. Calgary Cat (talk) 02:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crap[edit]

She was convicted on the strength of letters written by HERSELF, not by her dead lover. See [1], or the decently sourced French and German articles. 37.117.114.136 (talk) 12:50, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
