The Chevaliere d’Eon was an 18th century soldier, spy, diplomat, writer, swordswoman, performer, celebrity and blackmailer. In this episode we dive into the rumours, gossip and scandal, attempting to separate fact from fiction to explore the many lives she lived, and understand why her legacy is so important for the LGBTQIA+ community today. We hear about d’Eon’s connection to Leeds through the presentation sword she gifted to her friend George Keate in 1777.
With historians Cheryl Morgan, Claire Mead, and Eleanor Wilkinson-Keys, Assistant Curator of Arms and Armour, Royal Armouries.
