Beautiful portrait of Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans.

Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier, known as the Grande Mademoiselle, born on May 29, 1627 at the Palais du Louvre and died on April 5, 1693 at the Palais du Luxembourg, is one of the main personalities of the aristocracy of the Grand Siècle. Daughter of Gaston d'Orléans and granddaughter of Henri IV, she was the first cousin of Louis XIV.

She took her title of Duchess of Montpensier from her mother, Marie de Bourbon, Duchess of Montpensier. To this is added the fortune of her father, which makes the Grande Mademoiselle the richest and most titled princess in Europe.

Independent, endowed with a strong character, she did not hesitate to stand up to her father and the Sun King about marriages they wanted to impose on her or her immense fortune, which she insisted on managing herself, at her majority, thus becoming a formidable businesswoman.
