1. Public Record
Château de Brissac, Maine-et-Loire. A Loire house that grew from a medieval pile into one of the tallest castles in France. The name the tours will not drop is La Dame Verte, the Green Lady. Talk gives Charlotte de Brézé, or a woman of that circle, killed in the fifteenth century by a husband who found her with another man. She walks in a green dress. She is heard more than she is seen: moaning in the rooms, a cry that staff have used as a weather report for centuries.
The Cossé-Brissac family still hold the house. They open it. They do not open a forensic file. Green ladies are a Loire product as much as tuffeau stone. What this page can hold is a family that kept a name, a dress colour, and a scream in the inventory. Visitors add their own nights. The château remains a château.
A tall house. A green dress. A family that never retired the name.
2. Date of Incident
Alleged killing fifteenth century. House rebuilt across later centuries. Family occupancy into the present.
3. Location
Brissac-Quincé, Maine-et-Loire. Approximate 47°21 N 000°27 W.
4. Official Narrative
Private historic house open to visitors. Official narrative is architecture and family. The Dame Verte is interpretation.
5. Witness Layer
Family and staff across generations. Paying visitors. No fifteenth-century witness this folder can put in the hall.
6. Recovery Logistics
The château. No remains tagged Charlotte on a public docket.
7. Assessment
A green dress is a strong brand and a weak inquest. Keep the family name and the height of the house. Keep the moan as staff weather. Do not write a murder file from a tour script. Loire châteaux collect ladies the way they collect tapestries.
This folder files Brissac as a working house with a colour in its mouth. If a member of staff will not go into a room after dark, that can sit in a notebook. It does not move a fifteenth-century body into the gift shop.
8. Materials & Remains
Château. Family telling. No public grave tagged to the dress.
9. Key Personnel
La Dame Verte / Charlotte de Brézé as named : The card.
Cossé-Brissac family : Present keepers.
10. Aftermath
The house still takes tickets. The Green Lady still leads the English-language paragraph. The Loire still has taller stories.
11. Current Archive Status
Status: Loire house. Green Lady. Family still in.
Confidence: High that the château stands and uses the Dame Verte. Low that Charlotte is identified as a walking woman. Low that a killing is documented to forensic standard.
Filing note
A tall Loire house, a family that never left, a green dress on the tour, a moan used as weather, a fifteenth-century husband who may only exist in the script.
She is heard more than she is seen. The honest way a house keeps a woman without a grave.
