18th Century, France. Lia de Beaumont, loyal servant of Versailles and its King, Louis XV, is found dead in the river Seine. Floating inside a coffin, on which the word "Psalms" was written, her body had been poisoned by mercury, thus preserving decay. According to the Church, the soul that belonged to a corpse incapable of being consumed by the soil will forever wander in the human realm, unable to go to Heaven.
This greatly affects D'Eon de Beaumont, Lia's brother and one of the king's spies. He vows to discover by whom - and why - she was murdered. But he never expected that the one who conducting the revenge would be Lia, now possessing D'Eon's body! And what will the knight do when this quest might risk France itself?
History is retold in this supernatural tale of vengeance, loyalty and betrayal.

Where it came from
Le Chevalier D'Eon was produced by Production I.G and released in 2006 to commemorate the studio's 20th anniversary. The series is a historical fantasy set against the backdrop of pre-revolutionary France, blending occult elements with the real-life figure of the Chevalier d'Eon, a diplomat, spy, and swordsman who lived as both a man and a woman throughout their life. The project was conceived as a high-budget, atmospheric period piece intended to elevate the medium through its intricate period accuracy and dark, supernatural storytelling.
The character designs were crafted by Tow Ubukata, who aimed to explore themes of identity and political intrigue within the 18th-century European court. The series is noted for its meticulous research into period costuming and its somber, cinematic visual style, which distinguishes it from the more conventional action-oriented anime of the period. While the show earned critical respect for its bold narrative choices and commitment to its historical aesthetic, it was received as a niche, sophisticated offering that prioritized thematic depth over broad mass-market appeal.
