Claire Fraser encountered King Louis XV in Outlander
As fans of the series patiently wait for the next instalment, the debate surrounding Outlander's historical accuracy rages on.
Prof Merrick said: "It seems unlikely that an untitled Englishwoman like Claire could simply waltz her way into Louis XV's bed, especially, while the two countries were at war. The king had an official mistress, Mme de Chateauroux." "We're talking about the comte de Saint-Florentin, who also had a reputation for debauchery and despotism."
Furthermore, Professor Merrick said although the scene is implausible, King Louis XV's reign exhibited its share of sexual politics, with critics accusing the monarch of "debauchery and despotism" against the backdrop of financial, religious, political, and constitutional conflicts.
