The fortuneteller predicted nine -year -old Jeanne Poisson, the daughter of a poor clerk from the Parisian suburb, that she will become Louis XV"s mistress. And so it happened: natural beauty, secular education, sharp mind and boundless charm opened before the young woman Versel’s gates, and the king who met her in the masquerade fell in love with the ardor of the young man. He had dozens of mistresses for carnal pleasures, but only Jeanne - Marquise de Pompadur - was destined to become not just the main favorite, but a friend, an assistant and adviser, to make political decisions, on whom the fate of entire nations depended, patronize outstanding scientists and artists who glorified France for centuries. She bathed in luxury, her influence and wisdom paid tribute to European monarchs, but her personal fate was not at all simple
