Madame de Pompadour: Mistress of France 

Thanks Anita 😊

Thanks Einez 😊

I argue that Madame de Maintenon was more influential,since she basically was the Prime Minister of the France during the late reign of King Louis XIV

3:19 I agree 100percent

@@maryettamoody5079 Madame de Maintenon didn't need to keep a bordel like Madame of Pompadour for fear of rivals and not only did she manages to get to stop his adultery,she also manages to get him married to her,Madame de Maintenon survived stuff that would make any other fall into disgrace like the whole St.Cry School debacle that turned into a huge national scandal.

Thank you Simon 😊

Maybe one day Linda, thanks 😊

@@HistoryRoadshow Thank you so much, I've just subscribed to yours! :)

And yours too, I'll pop over and watch some videos later 😊

@@HistoryRoadshow You're the kindest! Thank you so much!

Yes you're right Patricia, they have Versaille all mixed up with other views! I'm going there in June so you'll be able to see some new footage on my return.

I didn't see anything about that Patricia, but you may be right. Thanks 😊

@@HistoryRoadshow It could have just been propaganda from her enemies, which has become an accepted "truth". Because it was well known that Louis XV had a high libido and needed someone in his bed nearly every night, which could led people to believe that would have been the only way she could keep her position. It would be interesting someday if you could do a video on Madame Du Barry, Louis XV's mistress at the end of his reign, after Pompadour's death.

Yes there young girls who became mistresses to Louis XV after Madame de Pompadour stop sleeping with him. They were called the Parc-aux-Cerfs. One of them was Marie Louise O Murphy. She may have been the model for The Blonde Odalisque painting by Francis Boucher.

@@einezcrespo2107 that's what I thought. The Parc aux Cerfs. I remember now

It makes you wonder! Thanks Noreen 😊

I'll hopefully see it in June! Thanks Alison 😊

@@HistoryRoadshow I have a photo of it from my visit in 2002

Thanks for watching Sharon 😊

Lack of morals? Being the king's mistress was an actual role back then. There was no shame in it, it was an honor.
