During the reign of the French king, Louis XV was believed that the most successful women receive the status of a monarch favorite. In part, it was true - they acquired a lot of privileges, turned out to be in power, laughed lands and luxurious estates. That's just Mari-Ann de Maji Nel was not too striving for this. I was her sisters with lovers of Louis, and when he was remembered by Marie Ann, I decided that I would certainly have to collect the full "collection" of lovely the challenge. As you know, monarchum should not refuse, and therefore the girl put forward several conditions - and very daring. What was the life of the favorite, who was in history as the Duchess de Chateaura? What did Marie Ann demanded from the monarch?
Youth Marie Ann
Marie Ann de Maji Nel was born in Paris in 1717. About her family is known quite a bit. Without a doubt, the family de Maye-Nel belonged to noble childbirth, which had a lot of advantages. He and her sisters, Marie-Ann received good upbringing and education corresponding to that time. She perfectly understood in painting, was interested in various kinds of art, musitis. But, in fact, the girl was not too different from his eminent contemporaries. Eye fate too, it would seem, had to meet the typical standards of that era. Young Marie Ann married La Tournala, having received the title of Marquis and a considerable state. Alas, her husband died suddenly, leaving the widow's young wife. To avoid oppressive loneliness, the woman went to his sister, Mademoiselle de Malia. As I noted, Three sisters Marie-Ann were quite successful and influential favorites of Louis XV. De Malia at that time just occupied a special position at the court, but the monarch himself was already pulled out by her.
Elimination of rival
I must say that in the eyes of contemporaries and historians, Louis XV was a lazy and depraved ruler, which paid more attention to physical pleasures than state affairs. He knew his favorite to the lands and precious sentences, and the simple people of France experienced difficult times of disasters and poverty. But the ridiculous folk creativity was stagnant. Gi Schossinan-Nogare in his book "Wall and Beloved French Kings" writes:Having learned that his favorite was settled by the Beauty Sister, the king became interested in a new special. Seeing Marie-Ann, he even praised passion at all, but the charming itself was in no hurry to fall into his arms. At the time, as indicated in several sources, the la-tournel marquise has been granted a novel with Count D'Azhenua. And then, without knowing, Marie-Ann is in the very center of intrigue. Richelo, perfectly aware of the heartfelt of the Marquis, with the help of tricky eliminated D'Jedua from the courtyard than significantly helped the king. Now Louis could well offer his beloved to become his favorite.
Requirements Beauty
I think Marie-Ann itself perfectly understood that the king would not be avoided. The case with the Count proved that anyone appeared on the path of Louis will be eliminated. However, the Marquis itself was not a mist. She stated that he would become the mistress of the monarch only on his conditions. Corol said that he would fulfill everything she wishes. As a result, la-tournel called three mandatory items. First, her sister should be removed from the courtyard (Mari-Ann did not need a rival). Secondly, for one consent, it is to become a favorite, it should receive 50 thousand eco pensions. And, thirdly, children, that can be born from this connection, should be recognized by lawful siblings of the monarch. Connecthenously, such requirements opened the calcining nature of Marie-Ann, but it, being the sister of the former Favorite Louis, understood that his hobbies were very short-lived, Therefore, the extended requirements were a kind of "insurance". However, the king himself did not confuse these conditions.
Relationships with king
Marquis has become one of the most influential persons at the court. In 1743, she received the title of Duchess de Chateaura, and Louis XV himself showered her jewels and land. Her power came out far beyond the monarch of the monarch. Even in Military campaigns, Louis preferred not to part with his beloved. In 1744, the king took over the command of Flanders and Alsace, inviting me and Duchess. The chateau was all the time near. They stopped in adjacent homes, where the walls were broken in advance so that the dwelling was one room, and outside the two separates were reminded. In Metz, Louis was playing with heavy illness, and the faithful favorite cared for him. Without a doubt, he was happy that the woman was so beloved to them all the time was inseparable with him. Loudly his Marie-Ann herself? It is impossible to answer this question, but, it seems to me, she fifth sincere gratitude to him and rejoiced so powerful patronage.
Death of Favoritka
The final of the life of the favorite seems extremely strange. Because of his illness, Louis repented in the deed sins, and the surroundings supported the decision of the monarch remove the chateau from the courtyard. True, the monarch himself was more afraid of his illness than sinful life. After recovery, the king immediately demanded to return the beloved. The battleship of enemies was hit by the chateau in opal and, it would seem, nothing threatened. That's just two weeks after his return to the Duchess Palace slightly. The once blooming young woman died at the age of 27, in 1744. The official cause of death was called hot, however, it is impossible to exclude that the influential favorite simply could be placed on those who wanted to receive the power. See the Summer Duchess de Chateator Louis XV experienced extremely difficult. Probably, he really loved this woman with all his heart. Markiza de Pompadur and Countess Dubarry became his following favorites, but they could not take the place of Marie Ann de Maji-Nel in the heart of the king. Perhaps, if this woman lived longer, in French society, those indignation and rage did not be We were provoked by infinite passion and mad spending of Louis on the following favorite. However, fate ordered otherwise.
