Maison d’Estrée is a very old family from the Loire valley. The family estate is the Château de la Bourdaisière, birthplace of Gabrielle d’Estrée, notable mistress of Henry IV. It was once named ‘the hutch of whores’ because of Gabrielle and her 6 sisters’ (nicknamed ‘the seven deadly sins’) role as courtesans. In spite of these sneering comments,the relationship between the King and Gabrielle was quite devoted and she would have become queen, if she had not suddenly died of pre-eclampsia days before they were due to be married. Certainly the history of the estate does not bother the descendants of the house of Estrée who enjoy a good reputation around court. They are known for good conduct, good manners and good living.

The familiy owns several estates and plantations in the New World and Africa, together with a number of ships which bring the luxury goods to France such as chocolate,  spices and such exotic foodstuffs as can survive the long journey.

Their famed Menangerie in the grounds of their family estate Château de la Bourdaisière boasts all kinds of rare and exotic animals brought back to France from the four corners of the world. The latest curiosity is riding ostriches.

THE VERSAILLES RP MANAGER WHISPERS! If you would like to join this household, consider the following characteristics of this family that you should be able to bring to the RP with your acting!

  • Estrée family is for a RPer wanting to be in the center of attention one way or another and takin a lot of initiative. It is not for wall flowers or shrinking violets, in other words it is not for a very shy RPer, unless you have a desire to explore the social side óf the RP. D’Estrées are very social but they can be arrogant and they don’t mind elbowing people out of the way. Sometimes they overstep the boundries of acceptable behavior. They can be extreme personalities and their hobbies and lifestyle are quirky.
  • There are “GUEST STAR” roles which can give a RPer a fastline experiencing short term roleplaying and a chance to develope acting skills quickly. Please be daring and willing to try something new!
  • VSL Roleplay year starts from the year 1773.
  • The character’s titles are given after the RP name. The highest title and how they will be addressed in RP is given in highlighted, bold italic letters.
