英语词汇maintenon的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Maintenon. Born in 1635 in a French prison where her fa- ther was being held as a counterfeiter, Françoise d’Aubigné’s life seemed no better as she grew to young womanhood. She mar- ried the famous comic poet Paul Scarron while still a girl of 16, serving mainly as his nurse until his death in 1660. Several years later she finally got a break of sorts when the King’s mis- tress, Madame de Montespan, interceded with Louis XIV to put her in charge of their illegitimate children. Gradually she supplanted de Montespan in the Sun King’s esteem, and in time he made her the Marquise de Maintenon. Madame de Maintenon became Louis’s maîtresse en titre when Montespan left the court and was even a great favorite of Queen Marie- Thérèse, who died in her arms in 1683. Two years later Louis married his older, official mistress in a secret ceremony. Main- tenon’s influence on court life was considerable, though it has probably been exaggerated as concerns matters of state. Mad- ame de Maintenon was no slouch as a gourmet, and her name is remembered in lamb chops à la Maintenon and other crea- tions, in addition to being a synonym for “a mistress.” She died in 1719, four years after Louis. See lavaliere; montespan; pompadour.
