WR passersby

Mary Ann Cotton: woman who murdered a series of husbands (note how few women terrorists/mass shooters there are)
Joseph Bazalgette -- creator of a network of sewers. Great cleaner of the Thames. ^^

Anne Catherick -- character in a novel; like Hersilie Rouy, an "illegitimate" child
Jeanne de Valois Saint Rémy -- con artist (who could trace her lineage back to Roi Henri II), involved in selling a replica of a diamond necklace to a Cardinal and selling the diamonds from the real necklace (originally designed for Mme du Barry): affaire cu collier de la Reine

Charenton / Psychology

François Simonet de Coulmier -- Clergy, politician, director of an asylum (Charenton), where Sade was interned. He was a reformer (more humane, trying medical treatments, letting Sade write & stage plays in the asylum).
Hersilie Rouy -- author of Mémoires d'une aliénée
Louis-Florentin Calmeil -- director of Charenton when Hersilie Rouy was brought there.
Albert Eulenberg -- professor of pharmacology and neurology. Wrote about Sade.
Eugène Dühren -- Pseudonym under which Iwan Bloch (dermatologist / psychologist / sexologist) published Sade's Les 120 journées de Sodom ou l'École de Libertinage in 1904
Wilhelm Fliess -- A pretty odd-sounding fellow who worked with Freud. Had views on innate bisexuality and on a nasal-genital relationship. Apparently was not a very attentive surgeon, having permanently disfigured a patient (Emma Eckstein) who Freud had referred to him.
