  • Who were the mistresses of Louis XV before Jeanne Du Barry and Madame De Pompadour - Part I: After many years of being faithful to his queen, Maria Leszynska, who gave him many children, the King of France, Louis XV, fell under the spell of Louise Mailly De Nesle. But when Louis fell in love with Louise, he was unaware that the young lady had four young sisters, each more seductive than the last: Pauline, Diane, Hortense and Marie-Anne. Without much ado, the demoiselles de Mailly-Nesle agreed, one after the other, to make their king happy before he moved on to the infamous Marquise de Pompadour and Madame Jeanne Du Barry. Five Mailly-Nesle girls, but who were they ? Let’s find out !

    I always felt that Louis XV was most responsible for the excesses of the monarchy which led to the revolution. This video only reinforces my beliefs.

    Four out of five sisters were the Kings mistresses 😳 Marianne was sent away from court as was Madame Dubarry when the King was dying from smallpox. Thank you for this very interesting video! 😊❤️💐

    Louise's mistake was being too kind to her two younger sisters Pauline and Marie Anne who treated her badly. Hortense was the wisest though Marie Anne felt threatened by her. Diane after the death of Marie Anne returned to Louis briefly and a few months later he met Madame de Pompadour.
