doyle: tardis (dw - scooby gang)
Question for any history buffs on my flist, since I've heard this mentioned several times in the past few days and am having no luck tracking down the historical accuracy: did Madame de Pompadour have syphilis? I've found several references to her possibly dying of TB but not any to STDs so far. I'd ask on [livejournal.com profile] little_details but it seems too weirdly specific.
