Qui va sortir amb Lluís XV de França?

Lluís XV de França, conegut com el Ben Amat, (Versalles 1710 - Versalles 1774) fou rei de França i de Navarra des de l'1 de setembre del 1715 fins a la seva mort el 1774, co-príncep d'Andorra i duc d'Anjou. Va succeir al seu besavi Lluís XIV als cinc anys. Fins que va arribar a la maduresa (llavors definit com el seu 13è aniversari) el 15 de febrer de 1723, el regne va ser governat per Felip II, duc d'Orleans, com a regent de França. El cardenal Fleury va ser primer ministre des de 1726 fins a la seva mort el 1743, moment en què el rei va prendre el control exclusiu del regne.

El seu regnat de gairebé 59 anys (del 1715 al 1774) va ser el segon més llarg de la història de França, superat només pel seu predecessor, Lluís XIV, que havia governat durant 72 anys (del 1643 al 1715). El 1748, Lluís va tornar als Països Baixos austríacs, que havia guanyat a la batalla de Fontenoy de 1745. Va cedir Nova França a Amèrica del Nord, a Gran Bretanya i Espanya en acabar la desastrosa Guerra dels Set Anys el 1763. Va incorporar els territoris del Ducat de Lorena i de la República de Còrsega al Regne de França. Els historiadors generalment critiquen el seu regnat, citant com els informes de la seva corrupció van avergonyir la monarquia, mentre que les seves guerres van drenar el tresor i van produir pocs guanys. Una minoria d'estudiosos disputen aquesta visió, argumentant que és el resultat de la propaganda revolucionària. El seu net i successor Lluís XVI de França heretaria un regne que necessitava una reforma financera i política que finalment portaria a la Revolució Francesa de 1789.

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 (París, 5 d'octubre de 1717 - 8 de desembre de 1744) fou marquesa de Tournelle i duquessa de Châteauroux i una de les amants de Lluís XV. Dotada d'una singular bellesa, sabia amagar les seves vehements passions amb una fredor sàviament calculada, però s'ha exagerat molt vers la seva influència i el paper que representà en la política del seu temps.

Era la més jove de les filles del marquès Louis de Nesle. En quedar orfe de mare, fou acollida per la seva parenta la marquesa de Vrillière. Va contraure matrimoni als disset anys amb Jean Baptiste Louis, marquès de La Tournelle. El seu marit encara més jove que ella, preferí la vida del camp i tenir cura dels seus dominis, doncs la vida de palau li era insuportable, i havent mort aquest el 1740, Marie-Anne tornà altra volta a casa de la seva parenta la marquesa de Vrillière, llavors vídua del duc de Mazarino. Morta també aquesta protectora, fou recollida a Versalles per madame de Mailly. Es fixà en ella Lluís XV, i si bé al principi no correspongué a l'amor del monarca, mercès a les intrigues del duc de Richelieu, Lluís XV començà a veure realitzats els seus desitjós, i fou creada duquessa de Châteauroux el 1743. Durant el viatge de la cort a Choisy, aparegué públicament com amistançada del monarca.

Fou un instrument d'Armand Jean du Plessis de Richelieu, el qual aspirava a governar el regne per mitjà de la favorita; això ocasionà moltes intrigues per fer-li perdre l'amistat del rei, sent un dels principals intrigants el duc de Noailles. Marie Anne volgué acompanyar a Lluís XV en el seu viatge a l'est de França, el que assolí, malgrat de l'oposició del delfí i d'altres personatges influents, i tan sols la greu malaltia que va contraure a Metz el monarca, fou causa de la disminució de la influència de la duquessa; es va veure allunyada de Metz, i l'endemà Lluís XV rebé el Viàtic, ocasió en la qual demanà perdó públicament dels seus escàndols amorosos, però guarit Lluís XV de la seva malaltia, la duquessa de Châteauroux tornà a adquirir el seu influx anterior, que aprofità per fer desterrar de la cort als seus enemics, i es trobava novament en el cim de la cort, quan fou arrabassada per la mort, després d'una curta malaltia.

Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, dama Le Normant d'Étiolles, marquesa de Pompadour, duquessa de Ménars, més coneguda com a Madame de Pompadour (nascuda el 29 de desembre del 1721 a París – morta el 15 d'abril del 1764 a Versalles), fou la més cèlebre de les amants del rei Lluís XV de França, i esdevingué així una de les dones més importants de la França del segle xviii.

Filla del ric financer François Poisson, des de petita perseguí el seu objectiu d'esdevenir un dia favorita del rei, encoratjada per la seva mare Louise Madeleine de La Motte. No sols ho aconseguí a la jove edat de vint-i-tres anys, sinó que fins i tot aconseguí fer amistat amb la reina Maria Leszczyńska. La seva posició en la cort li serví per a esdevenir marquesa de Pompadour i ser l'amfitriona del cercle íntim del rei a Versalles, on introduí el joc de la ruleta. Tot i que ja no dormiren junts després del 1750, el rei i Madame de Pompadour conservaren una ferma amistat que durà fins a la mort de la marquesa el 1764.

Lucie Madeleine d'Estaing, dame de Ravel, est née le 10 mai 1743 à Paris et morte le 7 avril 1826 à Clermont-Ferrand.

Françoise de Chalus (bap. Chalus, 24 February 1734 - Paris, 7 July 1821), was a French noblewoman and courtier. She was the mother of Louis, comte de Narbonne-Lara, possibly by King Louis XV. She was the lady-in-waiting of Louise Élisabeth of France in 1749–59, and the influential favorite lady-in-waiting of Princess Adélaïde of France in 1764–1800.

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).

Irène du Buisson de Longpré (c. 1720–1767), was a French noblewoman, mistress to Louis XV of France. She was the king's Petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress), not his Maîtresse-en-titre (official mistress).

Marie Thérèse Françoise Boisselet (1731 – 1800) was a petite maîtresse of King Louis XV of France.

Boisselet was born to Pierre Sulpice Boisselet and Marie Thérèse Carouailles. 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.

Louise Julie de Mailly-Nesle, (1710, a París - 1751, a París) a ser una favorita (Maîtresse royale) del rei Louis XV de França. Era filla de Louis III de Mailly-Nesle (1689-1767) i de la seva esposa Armande Félice de La Porte Mazarin (1691-1729), neta d'Hortense Mancini i reneboda del Cardenal Mazarin.

Diane Adélaïde de Mailly-Nesle, Duchesse de Lauraguais (11 February 1713 – 3 November 1769 in Paris) was the third of the five famous de Nesle sisters, four of whom would become the mistress of King Louis XV of France. She was his mistress on and off from 1742 to 1745.

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.

Pauline Félicité de Mailly-Nesle, (París e 1712 9 de setembre de 1741) per matrimoni comtesse de Vintimille (1739), va ser una favorita de Louis XV de França.

Marie Catherine Éléonore Bénard (Catherine Éléonore Bernard; 1740 – 23 February 1769) was a French lady-in-waiting and alleged petite maîtresse to King Louis XV of France in 1768-69.

Marie-Louise O'Murphy (aussi appelée « Mademoiselle de Morphy », « la belle Morphise », « Louise Morfi » ou « Marie-Louise Morphy de Boisfailly »), née le 21 octobre 1737 à Rouen, morte le 11 décembre 1814 à Paris, connue comme le modèle d'un tableau de François Boucher, est l'une des petites maîtresses de Louis XV.

Anne Couppier de Romans (1737 –1808) was a petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress) of King Louis XV of France from 1760 to 1765.

Jeanne Bécu, Comtesse du Barry (French: [baʁi]; 19 August 1743 – 8 December 1793) was the last maîtresse-en-titre of King Louis XV of France. She was executed by guillotine during the French Revolution on accusations of treason—particularly being suspected of assisting émigrés to flee from the Revolution. She is also known as "Mademoiselle Vaubernier" ([vobɛʁnje]).

In 1768, when the king wished to make Jeanne maîtresse-en-titre, etiquette required her to be the wife of a high courtier, so she was hastily married on 1 September 1768 to Comte Guillaume du Barry. The wedding ceremony was accompanied by a false birth certificate created by Jean-Baptiste du Barry, the comte's older brother. The certificate made Jeanne appear younger by three years and obscured her poor background. Henceforth, she was recognised as the king's official paramour.

Her arrival at the French royal court scandalised some, because she had been a courtesan and came from humble beginnings. She was shunned by many including Marie Antoinette, whose contempt for Jeanne caused alarm and dissension at court. On New Year's Day 1772, Marie Antoinette deigned to speak to Jeanne; her remark, "There are many people at Versailles today", was enough to take the edge off the dispute, though many still disapproved of Jeanne.

Decades later, during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, Jeanne was imprisoned over accusations of treason by her servant Zamor. She was executed by guillotine on 8 December 1793. Her body was buried in the Madeleine Cemetery. The fabulous gems which she had smuggled to London were sold at auction in 1795.
