Valérie Duclos (died. 1793/94) was the daughter of Marguerite Monvoisin and one of the granddaughters of Catherine Monvoisin, who was better known as the poisoner "La Voisin" ("The Neighbor").[1]
Biography
After Marguerite carried on with the family business. she later had two daughters, Valérie and Amélie Monvoisin.[1] In a document, both sisters learned that her fortune was to be given to the next eldest female in the family. Valérie attained the monetary fortune while giving Amélie the items and tools of the family business. In time, she was married and later had a son, Pierre Duclos. However, with her marriage, the fortune was now in control by her husband.[2]
Widowhood
During the French Revolution, Valérie lost her husband after he asphyxiated from an illness. Concerned about his fortune, Valérie was not given the ownership of his finances because her husband's last will dictated that his fortune was in control by family friend Georges Villiers-Segonzac and a stipend was given to their son Pierre. Enraged, she challenged Georges over the will with another document stating from her husband she would receive all of the fortune. Sadly, Valérie lost her appeal and planned to denounce Georges at the Committee of Public Safety. At a dinner party, she became more enraged and stormed out the festivities into the garden[2]
Death
During the dinner party, Valérie was given a cup of hot chocolate by Georges to calm her nerves. After she drank the hot chocolate and was left alone, she fell ill and died in the garden. Upon his investigation, the French Assassin Arno Dorian discovered that Valérie's sister Amélie poisoned her for her own claim to the fortune. After rightfully accusing Amélie, Arno took her to jail for Valérie's murder.[2]
Behind the scenes
It is implied that Valérie poisoned her husband due to his sudden death, but no more evidence was found to support it.
