Quem namorou Luís XV de França?

Luís XV (Versalhes, 15 de fevereiro de 1710 – Versalhes, 10 de maio de 1774), também conhecido como Luís, o Bem-Amado (em francês: le Bien-Aimé), foi o Rei da França e Navarra de 1715 até sua morte. Ele sucedeu seu bisavô Luís XIV com apenas cinco anos de idade. Até alcançar a maioridade em 1723, seu reino foi governado por seu tio-avô Filipe II, Duque d'Orleães como regente. O cardeal André Hercule de Fleury foi seu principal ministro de 1726 até 1743, quando o rei passou a conduzir pessoalmente o ministério.

Durante seu reinado, Luís devolveu os Países Baixos Austríacos à Áustria como parte do Tratado de Aquisgrão de 1748. Ele também cedeu a Nova França na América do Norte depois da Guerra dos Sete Anos em 1763. Ele acabou incorporando os territórios de Lorena e Córsega ao Reino da França. Morreu em 1774 e foi sucedido por seu neto Luís XVI.

Louise-Jeanne Tiercelin de La Colleterie (26 December 1746 – 5 July 1779), known as Madame de Bonneval, was a mistress to King Louis XV of France from 1762 to 1765. She was the king's Petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress), not his Maîtresse-en-titre (official mistress).

Marie Anne de Mailly-Nesle, Duquesa de Châteauroux (5 de outubro de 1717 – 8 de dezembro de 1744) foi a mais nova das cinco famosas irmãs de Nesle, das quais quatro viriam a tornar-se amantes do Rei Luís XV de França.

Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquesa de Pompadour (Paris, 29 de dezembro de 1721 – Palácio de Versalhes, 15 de abril de 1764), mais conhecida como Madame de Pompadour, ou simplesmente apelidada como Reinette ("rainhazinha" em francês), foi uma cortesã francesa e amante do Rei Luís XV da França considerada uma das figuras francesas mais emblemáticas do século XVIII.

Jeanne, na verdade, foi agraciada com o título de Duquesa de Pompadour, em 12 de outubro de 1752, mas nunca chegou a utilizar o título, apenas seus privilégios, como o de poder sentar na presença do rei e da família real e o de utilizar a Coroa Ducal em seu brasão e carruagens. Dotada de inteligência, encanto, beleza, e ao mesmo tempo uma mulher fria, em termos físicos e na alma, Madame de Pompadour via seu papel como o de uma secretária confidencial do rei.

Governava Versalhes, concedia audiências a embaixadores e tomava decisões sobre todas as questões ligadas à concessão de favores, de forma tão absoluta quanto qualquer monarca. Influenciando politicamente as decisões reais, ela se tornou uma empreendedora, incentivando a fundação da fábrica de porcelanas de Sèvres.

Marie Anne de Coislin (1732-1817), was a French aristocrat, known as the mistress to Louis XV of France in 1755. She was the king's Petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress), not his Maîtresse-en-titre (official mistress).

She was the daughter of the marquis Louis de Mailly (1696-1767) and the lady-in-waiting Anne Françoise Elisabeth Arbaleste de Melun and married in 1750 to the duke Charles Georges René du Cambout de Coislin (d. 1771), but they separated early on and she moved back with her parents.

In 1755, Louis François, Prince of Conti launched her as his candidate to replace Madame de Pompadour as official mistress of the king. She was the first serious candidate to be put up against Madame de Pompadour since Charlotte Rosalie de Choiseul-Beaupré, and she was also to be the last. She did succeed to be the secret lover of the king, which attracted some attention at court. She became known as l'altière Vasthi. Ultimately, however, the plot failed, and she was ousted from court by Madame de Pompadour. After this, there was no more serious rival to replace Madame de Pompadour, and the king mainly settled with his unofficial lovers at the Parc-aux-Cerfs.

Marie Anne de Coislin had affairs with the Prince de Conti and the count de Coigny, and was claimed to have had affairs with Christian VI of Denmark, Gustav III of Sweden and Peter III of Russia. It is unknown if these rumours where true, but Christian VI and Gustav III did visit her during their visits to Paris, which attracted attention at the time.

She did not leave France during the French Revolution, but lived as a servant in Rouen, Brittany and Vendée during the Reign of Terror. After the fall of Robespierre, she resumed her former life and property. She remarried in 1793 to Louis-Marie duc de Mailly (d. 1795).

Her father was an employee of the king's kitchen staff, with the title 'Contrôleur de la Bouche du Roi et chef du gobelet de Mme la Dauphine'. Marie Thérèse Françoise Boisselet was described as a beauty, and she agreed to become the lover of the king. The affair was not an official one; she was recruited to be a petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress) of the king in Parc-aux-Cerfs. She had one child with the king, Charles Louis Cadet de Gassicourt (1769–1821).

In 1771, she married the chemist Louis Claude Cadet de Gassicourt, who adopted her son. According to Paul Thiébault, Louis XV benefitted the career of Cadet de Gassicourt in the Royal Academy because of his marriage to his former lover.

She was born in Paris as the daughter of the tobacco merchant Jean-Baptiste Haynault and Catherine Coupris de La Salle. In 1759, she was recruited to be a petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress) of the king in Parc-aux-Cerfs by Dominique Guillaume Lebel.

She served as the king's lover with Lucie-Madeleine d'Estaing, who lived in the Parc-aux-Cerfs at the same time and alternated with her, one replacing the other in the king's bed during their pregnancies; Louise-Jeanne Tiercelin de La Colleterie was also housed there, while Anne Couppier de Romans had refused and was given her own house. She had two daughters with the king: Agnès-Louise de Montreuil (born 1760) and Anne-Louise de La Réale (born 1762), who were officially registered with two officers as fathers. Her daughters were both taken from her, raised in the convent school Chaillot, and given noble status, dowries and arranged marriages with noblemen as adults.

The king discontinued their relationship in 1762, and she was awarded a pension. In 1766, she married Blaise Arod, Marquis de Montmelas-Saint-Sorlin (d. 1815).

She left France during the French Revolution and lived abroad during the Reign of Terror. After the fall of Maximilien Robespierre, she returned to France, applied to be removed from the list of emigres and reclaimed her property.

De origem humilde, foi "uma prostituta de luxo no círculo do poder real" e, depois da morte da rainha Maria Leszczyńska, tornou-se amante do rei Luís XV, de 1768 a 1774, sucedendo à maîtresse-en-titre Madame de Pompadour, o que a alçou à nobreza e lhe proporcionou os meios para se tornar uma das principais mecenas de sua época.
