Madame de Montespan - AMBITION At Court
Madame de Montespan was the Second Mistress of Louis XIV. This video is a biography on Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, mme de Montespan. She was baptized on October 5, 1640 in Lussac-les-Châteaux and died on May 27, 1707 in Bourbon-l'Archambault. She also bears the name of Mademoiselle de Tonnay-Charente, but takes her most famous name from her marriage in 1663 to Louis-Henri de Pardaillan de Gondrin, which gives her the title of Marquise de Montespan. Present at the court of Versailles, she becomes the mistress of Louis XIV. Seven children were born from their relationship.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
