Quem namorou Marguerite-Catherine Haynault?

Marguerite-Catherine Haynault (1736–1823) was a French noblewoman, mistress to Louis XV from 1759 to 1762. She was the king's Petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress), not his Maîtresse-en-titre (official mistress).

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.

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.
