Marie Antoinette couldn't stand her!

She also gave her name to a soup, "Creme duBarry", made with cauliflower. A bouquet of cauliflower represented the high, powdered wigs of the period!

Answer 3

you could still use winnepedia but put what you read into your own words, like don't copy. that's plagiarism. duh! madame dubarry was the king's court favorite. in fact, she was everybody within the court of louis 16th favorite. i can't tell you what she liked or disliked but i can tell you something most don't know about her. she had a bladder/kidney problems and had rather strong body/urine smell about her. she was a beauty who was vain about herself so this odor problem had to be solved. science and health as it was back in the 18th century wasn't what is is today so the only way to go was covering up the odor by sweet-smelling powders. that worked ok but the court's thinkers came up with something we use today, still, for the same reason - perfume and/or cologne. it is french inspired, dubarry inspired. it was first invented for her but we douse ourselves everyday to the tune of billions yearly to smell nice. as it is created to stick to the body via sweat glands, it is semi-permanent. cool, eh?

Madame du Barry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madame du Barry, posthumous portrait ca 1789-1805, by Élisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun.Jeanne Bécu, Comtesse du Barry [1] [2] (Marie-Jeanne, Comtesse du Barry) (August 19, 1743 - December 8, 1793) was a French courtesan who became the mistress of Louis XV of France and is one of the most famous victims of the Reign of Terror.

Early life
Marie- Jeanne, Madame Du Barry was born Jeanne Bécu at Vaucouleurs, Lorraine, the illegitimate daughter of Anne Bécu, who was variously reported as a seamstress or a cook. Her father was possibly Jean Baptiste Gormand of Vaubernier, a friar. During her childhood, one of her mother's extra-marital lovers funded her education at a convent.

At the age of 15 Marie-Jeanne moved to Paris, where, using the name Jeanne Rancon, she worked as a milliner's assistant in a shop. As reflected in art from the time, she was a remarkably attractive woman. Her beauty came to the attention of Jean du Barry, a nobleman, in 1763. He made her his mistress and helped establish her career as a courtesan in the highest circles of Parisian society, enabling her to take several wealthy men as her benefactors.

Life as a courtesan
She first served as courtesan to Louis François Armand du Plessis, duc de Richelieu. Jean du Barry, however, saw her as a means of influence with Louis XV, who became aware of her in 1768. Marie-Jeanne, however, could not qualify as an official royal mistress unless she had a title; this was solved by her marriage to Du Barry's brother, Comte Guillaume du Barry, in 1769. She was presented to the King's family and the court on April 2, 1769.

While she was part of the faction that brought down the Duke of Choiseul, Minister of foreign affairs, she was unlike her late predecessor Madame de Pompadour in that she had little political influence upon the King.

While known for her good nature and support of artists, the King's financial extravagance towards her was the source of increasing unpopularity. Her relationship with Marie Antoinette, the Dauphine of France, was contentious. The Dauphine supported Choiseul as the proponent of the alliance with Austria and also defied court protocol by refusing to speak to the Madame Du Barry, due to her feelings about the latter's background. She was reportedly christened 'the du Barry'.

At the King's request before his death in May 1774, she was banished from the court to the convent of Pont-au-Dames, as her amoral presence would have prevented the king from receiving absolution. Two years later she moved to her famous Château de Louveciennes, where she continued her career as a courtesan, having relationships with both Henry Seymour and the Louis Hercule Timolon de Cossé, Duke of Brissac.

Imprisonment, trial and execution
In 1792 she made several trips to London on the pretext of recovering stolen jewelery; she was suspected of giving financial aid to emigres from the French Revolution. In the following year, she was arrested by the Revolutionary Tribunal of Paris on charges of treason. While in prison, her cell mate was fellow courtesan Grace Elliott. After a trial, she was executed by guillotine on the Place de la Concorde on December 8, 1793. She had tried to save herself by revealing the hiding places of the gems she had hidden around her property.

On the way to the guillotine she continually collapsed in the tumbrel and cried "You are going to hurt me! why!". She became quite hysterical during her execution: "She screamed, she begged mercy of the horrible crowd that stood around the scaffold, she aroused them to such a point that the executioner grew anxious and hastened to complete his task." Her last words to the executioner, "Encore un moment, monsieur le bourreau, un petit moment", (Just a moment, executioner, just a brief moment) were her most famous. Her remains were briefly placed in the Chapelle Expiatoire in Paris but were later removed with the present location unknown.
