Portrait of Louise O’Murphy, one of Louis XV's favorite lovers
Louis XV, as is well known, was an indefatigable lover, always ready to change woman as one does with objects, which, once in disuse or no longer satisfactory, are replaced.
For a certain period of time the sovereign, also tired of the favorite Madame de Pompadour, between a political engagement and the other, found a way to distract himself and play with the girls of the Parc-aux-Cerfs , ready for anything, obviously for convenience, just to please his desires (https://www.pilloledistoria.it/7704/storia-moderna/parc-aux-cerfs-il-parco-a-luci-rosse-di -versailles); they were all young commoners of low social class, good as a spicy diversion, but without the slightest importance in any other respect.
Things went a little differently with the beautiful Irish Louise O’Murphy , for which Louis XV felt an attraction and involvement that worried even Pompadour, fearful of being undermined from her comfortable and fruitful role as maitresse en titre (lover in charge) of the first citizen of the Kingdom.
O'Marphy, just like her four older sisters, was a prostitute and singular of her, in this regard, was the reaction of her father, a merchant, who, having learned of the very unromantic liason between the youngest of her daughters and the king, he exclaimed satisfied and happy:
" Ah, at last I too, like the others, have a decent daughter!" .
