Van wie was Louis Philippe Ii Joseph De Bourbon, Duc D’orléans?

Grace Dalrymple Elliott (c. 1754 – 16 May 1823) was a Scottish courtesan, writer and spy resident in Paris during the French Revolution. She was an eyewitness to events detailed in her memoirs, Journal of my life during the French Revolution (Ma Vie sous la Révolution) published posthumously in 1859. She was mistress, first to the future George IV, by whom she is said to have borne an illegitimate daughter, and then to the Duke of Orléans. Elliott trafficked correspondence and helped condemned Royalists and members of the French nobility escape from the First French Republic during the Reign of Terror. She was arrested several times but managed to avoid the guillotine, and was released following the military coup that ended the Terror and resulted in the execution of Robespierre.

In the acclaimed but widely controversial 2001 film adaptation of her memoirs by French New Wave director Éric Rohmer as The Lady and the Duke, Grace Elliot was played by English actress Lucy Russell.

Marguerite Françoise Bouvier de la Mothe de Cepoy, född 1762, död 1808, var en fransk aristokrat. Hon var mätress till Ludvig Filip av Bourbon-Orléans (1747–1793) från 1784 till hans död.

Hon var dotter till markis Guillaume François de Cepoy och Élisabeth Amaranthe Jogues de Martinville och gifte sig 1784 med Georges Louis Marie Leclerc de Buffon (1764-1794). Samma år blev hon mätress till Orléans, men vilken hon fick en son, greve Victor du Buffon (1792-1812). Efter Orléans död hjälpte hon hans legitima söner ur fängelset. Hon tog ut skilsmässa 1794, och flyttade till England, där hon gav sitt stöd åt Ludvig Filip. Hon beskrivs som blint lojal och inte särskilt intelligent.

Caroline-Stéphanie-Félicité, Madame de Genlis (25 January 1746 – 31 December 1830) was a French writer of the late 18th and early 19th century, known for her novels and theories of children's education. She is now best remembered for her journals and the historical perspective they provide on her life and times.
