Louise de La Vallière was a mistress of Louis XIV of France from 1661 to 1667. She later became the Duchess of La Vallière and Duchess of Vaujours in her own right. She has no known surviving descendants. Louise was also very religious and she led a religious penance for herself near the end of her life…..

……Louise had been at Fontainebleau only two months before becoming the king's mistress, and completely ignorant of being part of a ploy to cover the scandal between the King and his sister-in-law, ignored the ploy, believed in the sincerity of the monarch and was delighted. However, the king was quickly trapped in his own game: conquered by Louise's horse riding and hunting talents, her taste for music and singing, her dancing skills, her knowledge of books and literature and without doubt her innocence and sincerity of feelings about him (one source say that the King was seduced by a sentence that Louise would have expressed after their first meeting: "Ah! if he was not the King..."; sentence that would have suggested to the monarch that she loved him for himself and not for his royal title) he fell under the spell of the young innocent girl and soon fell in love with her…..(wikipedia)
