Françoise d'Aubigné (1635-1719), known Madame Scarron and Madame de Maintenon, was a French noblewoman, governess to the royal children, and a particularly close advisor to the Sun King. She also founded the Maison royale de Saint-Louis, a school for girls who had come from poorer noble families.

because fuck. god damn it. i thought they weren't! but now I don't know. She's never called his wife but Nick says she 'plays madame de maintenon', which I guess implies SECRET wifehood, but???? couldn't nick just call her his wife???? or maybe it's just meant to imply that ella knows all of dan's dirty dirty little secrets??? the implications are so huge if you know about Françoise d'Aubigné at all

Château de Maintenon, Eure et Loire (28) France.

Le château de Maintenon est situé au bord de l'Eure, dans la commune française de Maintenon en Eure-et-Loir.

Réalisé pour l'essentiel dans le style Louis XII, vers 1505, il fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis juillet 1944.

Architecte : André Le Nôtre

Le 27 décembre 1674, Françoise d’Angennes, épouse Odet de Riantz, marquis de Villeroy, héritière de Charles François d'Angennes, vend son château et le titre de Maintenon pour 150 000 livres à la veuve du poète Scarron, dame Françoise d'Aubigné qui devient ainsi marquise de Maintenon.

Elle devint secrètement l'épouse du roi Louis XIV, après la mort de la reine Marie-Thérèse en 1683.

Luigi XIV di Borbone, detto il Re Sole (Le Roi Soleil) o Luigi il Grande (Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 5 settembre 1638 – Versailles, 1º settembre 1715), è stato un membro della casata dei Borbone nonché il 64º re di Francia e 44º di Navarra. Regnò per 72 anni e 110 giorni, dal 14 maggio 1643, quando aveva meno di cinque anni, fino alla morte nel 1715, quando ne aveva quasi 77.

La concezione di governo che lo ispirava è perfettamente sintetizzata nella celebre frase: L'État, c'est moi! ("Lo Stato sono io!").

Per la sua durata il regno di Luigi XIV è al primo posto nella classifica dei regni più lunghi della storia seguito da Elisabetta II del Regno Unito.

GAME WITH HISTORICAL CHARACTER

Amongst the French Kings, Louis XIV (1638 - 1715, reign from 1643 to 1715) is amongst the ones who has been portrayed the most.

I have selected several actors who played him in different medias (tv series, movies, tv movies, documentary, musical) and origin (french, british, american...).

I meant to post about only the first chapter yesterday, but I completely forgot about some other things! So, let's continue, starting with my favorite part.

First off, you can't tell me what to do, auntie! I absolutely will have an affair with the King!

Y'know, if the game allows me to.

No, but seriously, the position of maîtresse-en-titre—chief royal mistress—was a pretty big deal! For better or worse, many would hold significant power at court. This is literally the only reason why I wish to romance Louis and also to see how far I can take it, at least for this first playthrough.

Although, if it's still accurate, I'll probably have to get married first anyway.

With the Sun King specifically, his mistresses were the following: Louise Françoise de la Baume le Blanc de la Vallière (1644–1710), duchesse de la Vallière and duchesse de Vaujours

Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, marquise de Montespan (1640–1707)

Françoise d'Aubigné, marquise de Maintenon (1635–1719), married the King in 1683 Apparently the Sun King had a thing for Françoises.

Isabelle de Ludres (1687–1722)

Marie Angélique de Scoraille de Roussille (1661–1681), duchess of Fontanges

But perhaps two of the more well-known royal mistresses were actually associated with his successor, Louis XV the Well-Beloved: Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry. Pompadour held plenty of influence in court, having been an advisor to Louis XV and a patron and participant of the arts, including philosophy. She even has a hairstyle named after her.

Du Barry, by contrast, is perhaps one of the most infamous mistresses. Unpopular at court due to her initially low standing in society, she essentially faked her way into becoming a maîtresse-en-titre with Louis XV's help and preferred to live extravagantly rather than get involved in politics, unlike her predecessor, the late Pompadour. And it was this exact extravagance as well as Louis' infatuation with her that would ultimately help lead to the monarchy's downfall.

Otherwise known the Diamond Necklace Affair:

"One day, on a memorable occasion, Madame found herself humihated before Mme. de Maintenon, forced to admit a wrong she had done her, to make her excuses before witnesses, and to say she was gratefully obliged to her. This happened on the death of Monsieur (June, 1701).

Madame, who at that serious crisis had everything to obtain from the king both for herself and for her son (and did in fact obtain it), made the effort to lay her dignity aside and address herself to Mme. de Maintenon. The latter went to see her, and in presence of the Duchesse de Ventadour as witness, she represented to Madame, after listening to her, that the king had much reason to complain of her, but was willing to overlook it all. Madame, believing herself quite safe, protested her innocence; Mme. de Maintenon, with great self-possession, allowed her to speak to the end, and then drew from her pocket a letter, such as Madame wrote daily to her aunt the Electress of Hanover, in which she spoke ia the most outrageous terms of the relations between the king and Mme. de Maintenon. We can imagine that Madame, at the sight, nearly died upon the spot.

When the name of the king was laid aside, Mme.de Maintenon began to speak on her own account, and to answer Madame's reproaches for having changed in her sentiments towards her. After allowing Madame, as before, to say all that she had to say and to commit herself to a certain extent, she suddenly quoted to her certain secret words particularly offensive to herself, which she had known and kept on her heart for ten years,—words that were said by Madame to a princess, then dead, who had repeated them, word, for word, to Mme. de Maintenon.

At the fall of this second thunderbolt Madame was turned into a statue, and there was silence for some moments. Then followed tears, cries, pardon, promises, and a reconciliation, which, being founded on the cold triumph of of Mme. de Maintenon and the inward humiliation of Madame, could not of course last long. It was soon after this scene and duriag the very short time that the renewed friendship lasted that Madame wrote to Mme. de Maintenon the following letter :

Wednesday, June 15, 11 in the morning.

If I had not had fever and great agitation, Madame, from the sad employment of yesterday, in opening the caskets containing Monsieur's papers, scented with the most violent perfumes, you would have heard from me earlier; but I can no longer delay expressing to you how touched I am by the favours that the king did yesterday to my son, and the manner in which he has treated both him and myself; and as all this is the result of your good counsels, Madame, be pleased to allow me to express my sense of it, and to assure you that I shall keep, very inviolably, the promise of friendship which I made to you; I beg you to continue to me your counsels and advice, and not to doubt a gratitude that can end only with my life.

Elisabeth Charlotte.

Proud as Madame was, there was nothing for her, after such a step and such a reconciliation so painful to the core, but to become henceforth the intimate and cordial friend of Mme. de Maintenon, or her implacable enemy. The latter sentiment prevailed. In spite of efforts which may have been for a time sincere, the conditions and the repugnances were too strong; antipathies rose up once more and carried all before them.

Introduction. “The correspondence of Madame, Princess Palatine, mother of the regent; Marie-Adelaide de Savoie, duchesse de Bourgogne and of Madame de Maintenon, in relation to saint-eve.” Contains introductions made by C.-A Sainte-Beuve. Selected and translated by Katherine Prescott Wormeley. 1899.
