This episode is about two women who insisted on the right to self-determination, although they would have called it the right to "follow the guidance of their own heart." One was a silversmith's daughter whose tale would be shocking even today; the other was the daughter of a prominent seigneur who had the temerity to fall in love with a lowly (and English speaking) Irish surgeon. Julie tells François about the surprising life stories of Manette de Tonnancour and Marie-Catherine Delezenne.
