		Marie-Jeanne Becu (1743–1793) began life humbly as the daughter of an unmarried seamstress and probably a handsome, reprimanded monk, but as Madame du Barry, she became one of the most celebrated beauties of her time.
		By the age of twenty she was the mistress of the dissolute Comte du Barry, who, among other endeavors, supplied the king of France with beautiful young women.
		A hastily arranged marriage to the Comte du Barry’s brother provided her with the necessary status to enter court life at Versailles and to become Louis’ official mistress.

	CHAPTER XIV
		Meanwhile madame Victoire, left to herself, could not long support such excessive animosity; and the duc de la Vauguyon profiting by the species of lassitude into which she appeared to have fallen, led her without difficulty to act in conformity to the king's wishes.
		Madame Adelaide was gifted with good sense, affability of manners, and a kind and compassionating heart towards all who needed her aid; her disposition was good, but she loved dominion, and the least show of resistance to her wishes was painful and offensive to her.
		It was pointed out to madame Adelaide that I possessed good intentions with feelings of religion, which, however stifled by the freedom of the age, only required careful management to produce a rich development.

		The future Madame du Barry, four-year-old Jeanne Bécu, went off to Paris to live with mom, mom's new boyfriend Monsieur Billard-Dumonceaux, the paymaster of the city of Paris and inspector of the army commissariats, and his courtesan-mistress, the Italian Francesca or Madame Frédérique.
		Life in a courtesan's household left its mark on the little child and not even nine years in a convent culled her love of luxury.
		I still find Madame du Barry intriguing, despite her looks and lack of decent personality, more so because I couldn't help but peek 200 pages into her future and saw that she ascended to the guillotine in hysterics.

		As mistress to French King Louis XV, Madame Du Barry held such sway over his affections that he failed to notice her robbing the treasury and bringing her own unique, if rather doubtful, leadership qualities to all manner of French affairs.
		Consequently, things went rather downhill for the French, allowing us Brits to take over much of their empire.
		In recognition of this kindness, we have created the Du Barry suite and we are sure that she would have approved of the lavish, witty decor.
