EP 105: Lola Montez

This week on Hashtag History, Leah is taking over the episode to discuss an infamous and mysterious character from History, Lola Montez. Montez was an Irish dancer and actress who became famous in the mid-19th Century as a Spanish dancer, among many other pursuits, one of which landed her as the lover of an actual Bavarian king!

Lola’s story comes with its fair share of controversies, especially when it comes to who the hell she actually was and what her true background was. Most of the controversy and confusion actually came directly from the source: herself. She fanned the flames of her own infamy, further propelling herself into the spotlight (her favorite place to be), and as historian Ralph Friedman, put it, “She changed her background to suit the occasion, and there were many occasions to suit.”
