The Woman Who Survived A Shipwreck, Starvation, And Isolation — The Incredible Story Of Marguerite De La Rocque
Not just impressive.
Not just unlikely.
Genuinely, categorically, startling.
Let’s go back to the beginning.
Who She Was: The Woman Before The Island
Marguerite de la Rocque was born around 1515, though her exact birthdate is not recorded.
Her family held lands in Périgord, in the Dordogne region of southwestern France, and in Languedoc, and some documents describe her as co-seigneuress of Pontpoint — a title that speaks to property ownership rather than a major title of nobility, but nonetheless marks her as a person of means and social standing.
She was, by any reasonable measure, a young woman of privilege.
