Early May I was outbid (by far) on a nice Daveluy deck and had been waiting anxiously for a few weeks to find a suitable deck for my collection and this spot.
This month's deck was bought on the French eBay on May 20 and it was send out a few days later. Usually it takes about 7 - 10 days for mail from France to arrive here. So I thought it would be a close call and didn't really expect it to be delivered in time to get to this spot. But I was pleasantly surprised by the postman on the 27th and there was plenty of time to make the page.
So I'm relieved to be able to present you.......

Comte de Brissac: Charles de Gossé, who lived in the first half of the 16th century, was a member of the nobility of Anjou. He also was a member of the House of the King, a general in the French army and later appointed as Marshal of France (a military distinction rather than a rank). He died in 1563.
Diane de Poitiers: a noblewoman, also from the first half of the 16th century, who had a prominent place at the French court as royal mistress and advisor of king Henry II. She died in 1566.

Chevalier d'Éon: By far the most intriguing figure in this deck. His full name was Charles-Geneviève-Louis- Auguste-André-Timothée d'Éon de Beaumont. Born in Tonnerre in 1728 and deceased in London in 1810, he was a French spy, diplomat and soldier. Although born as a man, he started dressing and living as a woman in the second part of his life.
Comtesse de Rochefort: There have been several countesses of Rochefort over the decennia. Two families were main suppliers, the Garlande and the Silly. Hard to say which countess is represented here.

Bussy d'Amboise: His full name was Louis de Clermont d'Amboise (1549-1579) and he was a nobleman at the court of Henry II. 
Dame de Monsoreau: Is the title of a historical novel from 1846 by Alexandre Dumas, in which a tragic love is described between the Dame de Monsoreau and the count de Bussy, who is in fact the Bussy d'Amboise from here above.

Cinq Mars: Henri Coiffier de Ruzé (1620 - 1642) was the Marquis of Cinq-Mars and a good friend of king Louis XIII of France. He conspired against the infamous Cardinal Richelieu and was imprisoned and beheaded when the conspiracy failed.
Marion Delorme: A French courtesan who had relations with important men at the court of king Louis XIII. In 1828 Victor Hugo wrote a play titled Marion de Lorme about her.
