Charles de Vintimille

Charles de Vintimille (1741-1814), marquis du Luc, was a French aristocrat and governor. He was the illegitimate son of Pauline Félicité de Mailly and king Louis XV of France and known as Demi-Louis ('Little Louis') because of his visual resemblance to his biological father Louis XV.[1]

Life

After the death of his mother, Charles de Vintimille was raised by his aunt Louise Julie de Mailly. The king saw to his financial needs but never paid him any personal attention.

His father's mistress Madame de Pompadour wished to arrange a marriage between Charles de Vintimille and her daughter Alexandrine Le Normant d'Étiolles, but the king would not allow it.

He made a career in the royal regiment in Corsica, where he became a captain, lieutenant and governor of Porquerolles (1759), and later a Maréchal de camp (1780) and a knight of the Order of Saint Louis. He married Adélaïde de Castellane (1746-1770) in 1764, with whom he had three children.

gollark: JS meets... very slightly 2 (Ramda exists), 4, occasionally (very occasionally) 5, obviously 6 and mostly 7.
gollark: Haskell meets 1 (obviously), 2, 3, kind of 5 and maaaybe 7.
gollark: - nice, nonbrackety haskell syntax- functional-programming-oriented- strongly typed- pragmatic and not horribly complicated - yes, selective applicative functors or whatever new haskell thing is now being worked on may be elegant, but learning every needlessly fancy thing just takes away from *actually writing useful stuff*- good tooling (see: Rust; run screaming from: Go, C(++))- web platform, ideally (yes, it has Problems™, but there's something to be said for ability to just navigate to a webpage and run your stuff- good libraries/community
