The last great female presence in the life of Louis XIV, Mme de Maintenon was first brought to the king’s attention by Mme de Montespan. Serving at first as governess to Louis XIV’s illegitimate children away from the prying eyes of the court, she later married the king in secret. Eventually Mme de Maintenon deposed her rival and became the dominant female force at Versailles, where she imposed a new sense of order and propriety.

ECOLE FRANCAISE Vers 1700 Entourage de Claude - François Vignon (1633 - 1703) Portrait presume de Louise-Francois de Bourbon (173-1743), fille de Louis XIV et de Madame de Montespan
3- Claude-Francois Vignon, tableau à Versailles, Françoise-Marie de Bourbon et Louise-Françoise de Bourbon- § FRANCOISE-MARIE DE BOURBON: Les figures avaient un grand pouvoir sur l'esprit de Madame de Montespan; ou pour mieux dire, elle comptait infiniment sur l'opinion qu'elles ont accoutumé de faire sur le commun des hommes, et sur les effets qu'elles produisent. C'est sans doute par là qu'elle eut tant de peine à pardonner à Mlle de Blois d'être née aussi désagréable.
