Louis XIV, King of France from 1638 to 1715, ruled over the court at Versailles with the sheer magnetism of his personality. All were desperate to be in the light of the sun king. His image was paramount to maintaining his place at the center of the Universe. The 5’4” monarch wore high heels and voluminous wigs. And he made sure the world knew he was a virile man with plenty of mistresses. While at least 20 women came and went from his majesty’s bed, he was emotionally devoted to 3 women in succession; Louise de La Vallière, Madame de Montespan and finally Madame de Maintenon whom he secretly married after the death of his Queen. Let’s meet the mistresses of King Louis XIV:
Catherine Bellier, Baroness de Beauvais
Marie Mancini, Duchess & Princess of Paliano
Louise de La Vallière, Duchess of La Vallière & Vaujours
Olympia Mancini, Countess of Soissons
Bonne de Pons d’Heudicourt, Marquise d’Heudicourt
Catherine Charlotte de Gramont, Princess of Monaco
Gabrielle de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise of Thianges
Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart, Marquise de Montespan
Anne de Rohan-Chabot, Princess of Soubise
