Pompadour, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de
Pompadour, Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de (1721–1764) Mistress of
LOUIS XV of France from 1745. She came from the world of wealthy officials and bankers, and was a lively witty woman, on friendly terms with the
philosophes of the
ENLIGHTENMENT. The people blamed her for the extravagance of the court and the disasters of the
SEVEN YEARS WAR, but her political influence has probably been exaggerated.
