I wanted to pick someone who was... less than a household name.
Yes, he held a number of important positions during WWI, and died of natural causes in 1918.
(Or, at least that's what they WANT us to think...
)I'll keep the format :
- Place
- Scandal
- Debauchery
- Dumas

Wrong track... wrong period for most of those...
well......"Scandal" and "Debauchery", despite being pretty much the same thing with regards to a locations description.....Dumas will help a lot, and i guess location is required information.
but we need something other than "Scandal" and "Debauchery".those could be.........anywhere.

I'll add :
Paris
Paris

place: Hotel de Nesle?
I'll consider this a good answer though it was in fact the Tour de Nesle (Tower of Nesle) part of the Louvre fortifications.
Legend has it that Queen Marguerite de Bougogne met her lovers' there and had them killed afterwards and thrown in cloth bags in the Seine which flowed under the walls.
Truth has it that two of Philippe IV daughters in law met their lovers' there. They were discovered. One of the daughters was strangled after having been sent away. The second became a nun. Their male counterparts, two brothers, were questioned, avowed their crimes and were flayed alive.
Alexandre Dumas wrote a play about these events.
