Thanks am putting a costume togther for dd and am getting confused I am referring to the early 18th century.

Blackadder the Third is too late - more Madame de Pompadour

Madness of King George is one of my favourite films, but 1731 is George II. Was he not the one who was married to Caroline who people compare to Princess Di?
