A courtesan who became the chief mistress to Louis XVI. Her position at #Versailles made her as many friends as it did ennemies, including Marie Antoinette the wife of the Dauphin. For a long time, Marie Antoinette defied court protocol by refusing to speak to Madame du Barry. Only after pleadings from abassadors and the king himself, did Marie-Antoinette finally toss an indirect comment in her direction: "There are many people at Versailles today," Lol! #isleroux #getfamous #historical
