<h2>The Green Lady of Château de Brissac</h2>
<p>Château de Brissac is a castle located in the commune of Brissac-Quincé, the department of Maine-et-Loire, France. The castle is recorded to have been built during the 11th century and has a long and interesting history. Like many castles around the world, the Château de Brissac is said to possess its own resident ghost. This is the ‘la Dame Verte’ or Green Lady, an unfaithful wife murdered by her husband during the 15th century.</p>
<p>The Green Lady is said to be the ghost of a woman by the name of Charlotte de Brézé, who was the illegitimate daughter of King Charles VII and his mistress, Agnes Sorel. The dukes of the château and their families are said to have grown accustomed to her presence, though it is claimed that guests have been frightened by her.</p>
