Madame de Pompadour

Marquess of POMPADOUR (December 29, 1721 - April 15, 1764), born Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson. Daughter of a financier in the service of the powerful Pâris and quartermaster of the Duke of Orleans, was married in 1741 to the treasurer general of the Mint Charles Guillaume Le Normant d'Étiolles, a marriage that opened the way to the best salons frequented by nobles and intellectuals and to court life; but he had only to be noticed to become the official lover of Louis XV. Her favor with the king, which lasted 20 years, gave her the opportunity to exercise an influential role in cultural orientation and in domestic and foreign politics.
