Louise Françoise de Bourbon : ウィキペディア英語版
Louise Françoise de Bourbon, Duchess of Bourbon

Louise Françoise de Bourbon, ''Légitimée de France'' (1 June 1673 – 16 June 1743) was the eldest surviving legitimised daughter of Louis XIV of France and his maîtresse-en-titre, Madame de Montespan. She was said to have been named after her godmother, Louise de La Vallière,〔Hilton, Lisa, ''Athénaïs:The Real Queen of France'', Little, Brown and Company, London, 2002.〕 the woman that her mother had replaced as the king's mistress. Prior to her marriage, she was known at court as ''Mademoiselle de Nantes''.
Married at the age of eleven, she became known as ''Madame la Duchesse'', a style which she kept as a widow. She was, Duchess of Bourbon〔Known as the Duchess of Bourbon till her death even though ''de facto'' Princess of Condé〕 and Princess of Condé by marriage. She was later a leading member of the ''cabale de Meudon'',〔Bernot, Jacques, ''Mademoiselle de Nantes, fille préférée de Louis XIV'', Nouvelles éditions latines, Paris, 2004, p. 73, ISBN 2-7233-2042-1:()〕 a group of people who centered on Louis, ''le Grand Dauphin'' her older half brother. Whilst her son, Louis Henri, Duke of Bourbon was Prime Minister of France she tried to further her political influence but to little avail.
Very attractive, she had a turbulent love life and was frequently part of scandal during the reign of her father Louis XIV. Later in life, she built the Palais Bourbon in Paris, the present seat of the National Assembly of France, with the fortune she amassed having invested greatly in the ''Système de Law''.
==Biography==
Louise Françoise was born in Tournai on 1 June 1673〔 while her parents, King Louis XIV and Françoise-Athénais de Rochechouart were on a military tour; her maternal aunt, the marquise de Thianges, was there also. After returning from Tournai, her parents placed her and her older siblings in the care of one of her mother's acquaintances, the widowed Madame Scarron.
On 19 December 1673, Louis XIV legitimised the children he had had with his mistress in a legitimisation process that was recognised with letters patent from the ''Parlement de Paris''. At the time of their legitimisation, her eldest brother, Louis-Auguste de Bourbon, received the title of ''duc du Maine''; the next eldest brother, Louis-César de Bourbon, became the ''comte de Vexin'', while Louise Françoise received the courtesy title of ''Mademoiselle de Nantes''. Her parents had nicknamed her ''Poupotte'' after her doll like appearance.
In the year after her birth, another sibling joined Maine, Vexin and Louise Françoise at their residence in Paris. The future ''Mademoiselle de Tours'' had been born at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye in November 1674. The young ''Mademoiselle de Tours'' was legitimised in 1676 and would become a great friend of ''Mademoiselle de Nantes''. The death of her younger sister in 1681, deeply affected her.
After the death of ''Mademoiselle de Tours'', ''Madame de Montespan'' wrote to the ''duc du Maine'':

''I do not speak to you of my grief, you are naturally too good not to have experienced it for yourself. As for Mademoiselle de Nantes, she has felt it as deeply as if she were twenty and has received the visits of the Queen and Madame la Dauphine''〔''Athénaïs:The Real Queen of France'' by ''Lisa Hilton'', p201〕

''Mesdemoiselles de Nantes'' and ''de Tours'' had been raised together in a private house on the ''Rue de Vaugirard'' in Paris, where the king's illegitimate children with Mme de Montespan had been hidden away from the prying eyes of the court by their parents. Louise Françoise would never be close to either her older half-sister, Marie Anne de Bourbon, or younger full sister, Françoise Marie de Bourbon, as the three sisters were intensely jealous of each other. Louise Françoise and Françoise-Marie were especially competitive, despising any increase in status or rank that the other, or any of her children, might achieve.
Having inherited her parents passion for music and dance, Louise Françoise became a good dancer. When she was nine, she played Youth in a ballet dedicated to the Dauphine of France. She also inherited her mother's sharp and caustic wit, the famous Mortemart ''esprit'', which made her popular with some but not with others. Saint-Simon later said of the future Princess of Condé:

''her face was formed by the most tender loves and her nature made to dally with them. She possessed the art of placing everyone at their ease; there was nothing about her which did not tend naturally to please, with a grace unparalleled, even in her slightest actions. She made captive even those who had the most cause to fear her, and those who had the best of reasons to hate her required often to recall the fact to resist her charms. Sportive, gay, and merry, she passed her youth in frivolity and in pleasures of all kinds, and, whenever the opportunity presented itself, they extended even to debauchery''.〔

She was also called the..

''(the ) prettiest, wittiest, and naughtiest of the fast set in the latter half of the reign, and was in constant hot water. Her comic verse, too often indecent, was genuinely amusing, except to the victims, and the king was not at all amused at a set which she had written on his august self''〔Lewis. L, W, ''The Sunset of the Splendid Century, Life and times of the duc du Maine 1670-1736'', New York, 1953, p.90〕
