- The Mesdames de France was the name given to the eight daughters of King Louis XV. Most of the Mesdames lived their entire lives at court, without getting married.
The Eight Mesdames de France were :
• Louise-Élisabeth de France (1727 - 1759)
• Anne Henriette de France (1727 - 1752)
• Marie-Louise de France (1728 - 1733)
• Marie-Adélaïde de France (1732 - 1800)
• Victoire de France (1733 - 1799)
• Sophie de France (1734 - 1782)
• Thérèse-Félicité de France (1736 - 1744)
• Louise de France (1737 - 1787)
Sophie Philippine Élisabeth Justine of France (Versailles, July 27, 1734 - Versailles, March 3, 1782), better known as Madame Sophie, is the sixth of the daughters and the eighth of the ten children of Louis XV and Marie Leszczyńska.
Marie-Thérèse-Félicité of France, born May 16, 1736 and died September 28, 1744 at age 8, is the seventh daughter of Louis XV and Marie Leszczyńska. Raised with her sisters at the Abbey of Fontevraud from 1738, she died there at the age of eight of smallpox.
Louise-Marie de France (1737 - 1787), known as Madame Louise, Madame Last, or Madame Huitième, was the youngest of the children of Louis XV and Marie Leszczyńska. She was called Madame Louise after her baptism in 1747. She entered Carmel in 1770 under the name of Thérèse de Saint-Augustin, and there was the charge of novice mistress and then treasurer. She was elected prioress three times. Died in 1787, she was declared venerable in 1873.

Believe it or not, because of the excessively high cost of maintaining a royal child at Versailles, the younger daughters of King Louis XV were sent to convents to live and be educated. Also, the chances of making a diplomatic and profitable marriage for the youngest daughters was almost nonexistent, so the King and Queen were forced to send them away.
Louis XV, while an inept and thoughtless King, was a loving father and would not have liked being separated from any of his children. Just imagine the fate of his 30-plus illegitimate children! They may have never knew their illustrious father.
Love this channel and I appreciate the hard work.
You're absolutely correct, thank you for sharing this information with us all. I am glad you're here once more !
@@TheKingsofFrance strange,there is no love child from du barry..
It's surprising that they had to send their younger daughters away to study because it was too costly at Versailles. All daughters were quite beautiful, especially the youngest one who became a nun. The court of Versailles will always be intriguing for generations to come. Thanks for the video series.
Have you been at Versailles ? I highly recommend it !!
@@TheKingsofFrance I haven't been so lucky to visit Versailles. But I surely wish to see France.
Very good and can't wait for Henriette anne a very interesting charachter at the French court
I hope I won't disappoint ! Thank you for watching and commenting !
Fascinating! One daughter on the path to sainthood 🕊✝️! I always learn something new! Merci 🌼
Hi Christine, thank you so much for being here once again. I am so glad you enjoy my videos !
There is a portrait of Thérèse however it is a posthumous one and I loved your series
Madame, j'adore votres videos. Ils sont formidables! Merci beaucoup pour votre travaille!
Merci pour ce gentil compliment et pour avoir regardé et commenté !
Thank you for this series. I have always wanted to learn more about the daughters of Louis XV but there is so little info available about them in english. Very informative!
I’m really glad you enjoyed the series ! Thank youbfor watching !
I just discovered that one of my ancestor was the bailiff of Madame Sophie de France in her house during her last 12 years of life in Versaille.
So now i am getting curious about this Madame...wondering what kind of person she was ..what was precisly the work of my ancestor in her house. But i found so few about her..and even more about him for sure. I wish i could travel back in that time...to see their interactions and how they lived. I may go to Versaille one day . Maybe ill found more informations there. And the France achives too.
Thanks again for your video.
That's very interesting, I'd be thrilled to find out. Alas, my family certainly don't have any connection to nobility in our bloodline. i hope you'll learn all you can !!!
@@TheKingsofFrance thanks , ill let you know if i found some nice things :)
Interesting!
Victoire, Sophie and Louise all used to share a household. When Sophie died in 1782 and Louise in 1787, Victoire was left all alone in her household and occasionally saw her elder sister Adélaïde until she fled to Trieste and died in 1799
I really like your videos, it's so niche. Very underrated channel, hope to see you grow more!
Thank you for your super kind compliment, it is really nice to be appreciated.
All your videos in this series on the daughters was wonderful. Fascinating. Thank you.
Thank you ConMack, I really appreciate your kind words. Glad you enjoyed them !
Woooot!!! Love your videos!!!
Thank you for watching another one of my videos ! I really appreciate your support !
It breaks my heart every time I hear that their bodies were moved.
On October 23 I'm releasing a video on the desecration of the royal tombs (in the spirit of Halloween). You might (or might not if it saddens you) want to watch it...
Same here...poor them :( i understand the revolution but...leave the dead in peace :(
Queen Marie was very sad when the younger daughters were taken away from her..It was the Cardinal de Fleury who sent the younger daughters away with the reluctant approval of their womanizing father, Louis XV. The protests of the depressed Queen Marie who was pregnant with their 12th child in early 1738 (there was a stillborn son in 1735) was ignored and Marie was several times forbidden by Louis XV and the Cardinal to visit them or have them returned.. Louis XV's father figure, the Prime Minister, Cardinal Fluery, sent them away from Versailles because they were " girls only, not sons and expensive to maintain 50 servants each daughter etc" ..Marie protested to her husband to this..and but Louis XV want to save money and so the King can sustain the financial demands of his mistresses in 1738 there was already mistresses Louise Julie de Nesle and "NN" a butchers daughter, thus he sacrifices his daughters to support those women! The Fontevraud abbey where the girls were sent in June 1738 was almost close to the Spanish border and a 2 week journey from Versailles. MARIE WAS powerless and was FORBIDDEN SEVERAL TIMES TO VISIT HER AND WAS DEVASTATED WHEN THEY WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM HER AND WAS ANGRY AT THE KING and Cardinal it is one of the reasons aside from a threat to her life why she stopped sleeping with him after she miscarried the 12th child! QUEENS OF FRANCE ONLY BECOME POWERFUL have freedom when the King dies when they become widows an regents for their son example Catherine, Marie de medicci, Anne of Austria etc... Why couldn't her parents, especially the Queen, visit Teresa when she was dying? here is the answer: THEY WERE NOT INFORMED IN TIME Due to the distance because it took 20 days from.Fontevraud to Metz for the initial letters to aof Therese illness to arrive it was done by men riding horses. Louis XV was the first to fall ill and nearly died in Metz during height of the War of the Austrian Succession it was a very chaotic time when Therese fell ill, there was a threat of invasion... the Queen and the older children were summoned by her thought to be dying husband in in Metz near the German border so he can apologize cause because he was afraid going to hell... when Queen Marie arrived after 5 days at Metz letters from Theresas illness was still on its way and when the first letters of illness reached Metz, she had already died of smallpox... Queen Marie was devastated when she received letters about her death It was her own mother, Queen Catherine of Poland, who was.left in Versailles , who revealed it to her when they met in Lorraine (Duke de Luynes memoirs).. and Marie was incosolable shock refused to see anyone for several days when she found out about her death this time Louis XV also started being mean to her again as he want the mistress back. She had a posthumous portrait made for Teresa and a mass at Notre Dame for her soul that they attended. Louis XV's reaction was not recorded because he read the letter of her death that Marie wrote to him alone, but there was a private family conference about her death. Unfortunately, it was noted that Louis XV was still more concerned with getting his mistress Marie Anne de Mailly back after she recovered from her illness..Louis XV still refuses the Queen to visit her grave at Fontevraud or return the remaining daughters due to expenses he was busy with Pompadour and other mistresses from.1745 onwards and have the remaining girls returned when they were teenagers. "She loved her own children tenderly" as it is written in the dairies of family friend Duke de Luynes...she prayed and wrote regularly to the younger daughters whom she was forbidden to see and based on some surviving letters of the younger girls shows that Their mother loves them and the girls wrote to her thanking them for the toy horse she sent to them etc..meanwhile it is Louis Xv who forgotten about them.as he cared more about the mistresses.."the whole Queen Marie was a bad mother lie " was spread by the modern day fans of the mistresses..
Hi, Awesome live video I enjoyed it. How are you and your cat Rani? I'm doing well. My cat Benjamin says hi to your cat Rani he sends purrs. See you next video 😀
Rani says Meow !!!!
I always want MORE of your videos!.
Thank you so much for being here again, I really appreciate your support !
Perfect video!!
thank you so much !
You make my day better 🙂
Thank you for your continuing support !! I am so very grateful !
@@TheKingsofFrance you make everyone's day better
Love your videos! This era of history is my favorite.
Thank you Lynsey. Eventually I'll branch out to other era's as well, but for now I still have plenty of material about the Bourbons !
It is great, thank you. Unfortunately Louise is not beatified. Her title is venerable. There is another Carmelite sister, with the same name, she was beatified with her companions.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I wish I could see their faces with their natural hair colour without the powdering
I CANNOT LAUGH WITH THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO , WHILE MY EYES ARE FILLED WITH TEARS , AT HOW HUMANS CAN BECOME SO UGLY - KINGS AND QUEENS , OR NOT , THESE ACTIONS ARE A MARK AND STAIN ON ALL HUMANITY ! A LOW POINT IN THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION !
NO ONE SHOULD EVER FORGET THAT THE BEAUTIFUL BASILICA OF SACRE-COEUR WAS CONSECRATED ON THURSDAY OCTOBER 16 1919 , THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARTYRDOM OF MARIE ANTOINETTE !
So very interesting!
Thank you for watching and commenting again, I really appreciate you being here !
@@TheKingsofFrance cannot wait for the video on Henriette Anne, because as I am sure you know by my comments, anything related to Louis XIV is my most favorite of topics! I'm actually currently reading "Love and Louis XIV" by Antonia Fraser, and it's really informative, shedding light on a lot of facts I hadn't realized to be true. Also, i really enjoyed your short last week and look forward to the next one! Thank you sweet lady! 👑💜⚜️
That's a coïncidence. I just got the same book on audible, to listen to on my commute to work ! Am very curious now !
Thank you for very interesting video of the Mesdames! Is it true that Louis XV used very unflattering petnames of them?
I know he had pet names for them, but I am not sure if they were inappropriate...
@@TheKingsofFrance Antonia Fraser writes in her book that the father called Madame Victoire "sow", Madame Sophie "Grub" and Adelaide was "Rag"
Interesting but you say Louise Marie was poisoned but by whom ??
There are several theories. One strong theory mention she was poisoned by the revolutionaries, as her death was very close to the French revolution... Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@TheKingsofFrance Hmm, I read Barthélemy's book about Mesdames and he says that Madame Louise died surrounded by nuns and novices in her Carmel abbey. Also, let us remember that she died in 1787, two years before the outbreak of the Revolution. Wouldn't an act as cruel as murder be punished?
Not telling what the miracle was?
What horrible parents
Thank you for watching and commenting Kelly. I really appreciate it !
