A green-clad woman in château lore is associated with Charlotte de Brézé and a story of marital violence.

The story

The Green Lady of Château de Brissac

Later retellings say Charlotte and a lover were killed after discovery by her husband. A figure in green, sometimes described with a damaged face, is then said to move through the château and chapel.

Context matters

Belief, history & interpretation

The historical people and the supernatural narrative are not equally documented. The Green Lady is heritage folklore shaped by family history, tourism, and repeated sensational description.
