Louise-Victoire de La Force (1665-1722), was a French courtier. She was the first lover of Louis, Dauphin of France (son of Louis XIV). [1]
She was born to Jacques-Nompar de Caumont, duke av La Force (1632-1699) and Marie de Saint-Simon-Courtomer (c. 1639-1670).
She was made maid-of-honour to Maria Anna Victoria of Bavaria in 1686, and as such was placed under the supervision of Marguerite de Montchevreuil. She was described as lively, witty and charming. She became the mistress of the Dauphin, which was a scandal at court.
Elizabeth Charlotte, Madame Palatine claimed in her letters that Madame de Maintenon did not wish the Dauphine to play any great role at court, slandered her against the king and bribed Barbara Bessola to isolate her. Elizabeth Charlotte claimed that Marguerite de Montchevreuil had been engaged by Maintenon to estrange the Dauphine and her spouse, quote:
In 1688, King Louis XIV arranged for her to marry Louis Scipion III de Grimoard de Beauvoir, Marquis du Roure and Marquis de Grisac (d. 1690) in order to dismiss her from court and thus end her relationship with the Dauphin.
