Agnès Sorel
Agnès Sorel (1422 – 9 February 1450), known by the sobriquet ''Dame de beauté'', was a favourite mistress of King Charles VII of France, by whom she bore three daughters. She is considered the first officially recognized royal mistress. She was the subject of several contemporary paintings and works of art, including Jean Fouquet's ''Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels''.
== Life in the royal court ==
The daughter of soldier Jean Soreau and Catherine de Maignelais, Sorel was twenty years old when she was first introduced to King Charles.〔 At that time, she was holding a position in the household of Rene I of Naples, as a maid of honour to his consort Isabella, Duchess of Lorraine. Sorel then went on to serve as the lady-in-waiting for Marie d'Anjou, Charles VII of France's wife. She would soon become his mistress.〔 The King gave her the Château de Loches (where he had been persuaded by Joan of Arc to be crowned King of France) as her private residence.
Soon, her presence was felt at the royal court in Chinon where her company was alleged to have brought the king out of a protracted depression. She had a very strong influence on the king, and that, in addition to her extravagant tastes, earned her powerful enemies at court.〔 Sorel would become the first officially recognized royal mistress.〔
She is credited with starting a fashion when she wore deep low square décolleté gowns with fully bared breasts in the court.〔Monique Canellas-Zimmer, ''Histoires de mode'', Les Dossiers d'Aquitaine - 2005, ISBN 9782846221191.〕
