A scarce biography of the transgender 18th-century diplomat, decorated solider, celebrity fencer and spy employed by King Louis XV as a member of the Secret du Roi network. D'Eon was a respected consul figure after playing a crucial role in peace negotiations that ended the Seven Years' War. D'Eon appeared publicly for 49 years as a man, but fenced in women's attire, including before George, the Prince of Wales. Such was D'Eon's celebrity that the public placed bets on D'Eon's sex, and they were offered a veritable fortune to be physically examined. King Louis XVI eventually conceded to their preferred gender identity, offering funding for a new wardrobe of women's clothes and allowing them to wear the insignia of the Order of St. Louis. From late 1777 and onward, they would go on to present themselves as female until their death.
