Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) was a famous French writer. It is based on a famous case of fraud and royal scandal concerning Marie Antoinette’s complicity in a plot to deceive the crown jewellers as to the cost of a diamond necklace, which further spoiled the already-tarnished reputation of the queen.
