Also Madame De Maintenon had a lot of political influence and power in the French court at Versailles in the time of Louis XIV. A lot of important political decisions were credited to her and she became the morganatic wife of Louis XIV. Many important courtiers including military generals would often approach her in order to gain influence with Louis. Louis himself frequently conducted business meetings in her rooms. She scuppered a military plan to rescue French positions in the battlefield because the planner had not consulted her nor had he planned or allowed for her to go on the campaign. Reply #1.

Madame De Pompadour was the mistress of Louis XV. At some stage she lost interest in continuing to have sexual relations with him and that stopped, but she continued to wield political influence. At the same time that Pompadour continued her political influence, Louis took another mistress (Madame Du Barry) who had no interest or aptitude for politics. There seemed to be no ill-will between the women whose roles did not conflict. Reply #2. Jan 16 18, 3:37 PM |
