Fabled Collective

Locked Away for 25 Years

Vanessa K. Eccles Episode 78

Blanche Monnier, often referred to as "La Séquestrée de Poitiers," is a harrowing tale from 19th-century France. Born into a prominent Poitiers family, the beautiful heiress mysteriously vanished at 25, only to be discovered 25 years later imprisoned in her family's mansion. Her shocking captivity, orchestrated by her mother and brother to prevent an "unsuitable" love affair, challenges societal norms of respectability and family honor. This chilling story underscores the dark extremes of human behavior and the dangers of unchecked authority within familial relationships.
