Louis XV of France
Louis XV (15 February 1710 – 10 May 1774), known as Louis the Beloved (), was a monarch of the House of Bourbon who ruled as King of France from 1 September 1715 until his death in 1774. He succeeded his great-grandfather Louis XIV at the age of five. Until he reached maturity (then defined as his 13th birthday) on 15 February 1723, the kingdom was ruled by Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, as Regent of France.
Cardinal Fleury was his chief minister from 1726 until the Cardinal's death in 1743, at which time the young king took sole control of the kingdom.
Louise-Jeanne Tiercelin de La Colleterie
Louise-Jeanne Tiercelin de La Colleterie (1746-1779), was a French noblewoman, mistress to Louis XV of France from 1762 to 1765. They had a son Benoît-Louis Le Duc (1764-1837). She reportedly amused the king with her frank ways. In contrast to most other mistresses of the king, she was not married afterwards, but lived as guest in a convent, and became known for her adventurous life style.
