Episode #273: Historiens Største Golddigger?

0:00 1:33:35

For de fleste er en "maneater" enten et menneskeædende kattedyr eller en catchy 80'er popslasker ❤️🔥

Men i 1600-tallet var en virkelig én af slagsen løs i Londons finere kredse.

For Mary Carleton drømte om glimmer og glamour, og skyede tilsyneladende ingen midler for at få fat i dem. Under flere forskellige identiteter lokkede hun uskyldige, liderlige rige mænd til at blive gift - for derefter at tømme deres konti for rub og stub.

Faktisk var hun så god til at sweettalke, at hun snoede landets strengeste dommere om sin lillefinger. Og fik overbevist dem om, at hun ikke var en forbryderisk golddigger. Men i virkeligheden var en uskyldig, tysk prinsesse...

Men præcist ligesom med synth-pop bølgen, ja, så endte fortidens skygger med at catche op på Mary.
