Agnes Sorel was boastfully a chief mistress of King Charles VII of France. She was contemplated to be the first officially granted royal mistress. Sorel was scandalous because of her bawdy practice of wearing extremely low cut gowns and having a single breast completely uncovered. This trait was both imitated and loathed. She also adorned herself with an uncut-diamond necklace, which caused a lot of chaos as it was rendered inappropriate to wear such forbidden jewels. She died under inconclusive circumstances at the age of 28.
