Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Louis the Fifteenth, Vol. 2 In the year 1749 - that is, in the year after the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle had disgracefully ended for France the long War of the Austrian Succession - Madame de Pompadour practically occupied the position of First Minister to Louis XV. When Madame de Chateauroux died, her sister the Duchesse de Lauraguais lost her credit. She had served very well as an adjunct to her sister in the petits cabinets of the dissolute King; but once the bourgeoise Madame d'Etioles had occupied those petits cabinets, had deserted her husband and surviving child to become Marquise de Pompadour, the reign of Madame de Lauraguais was ended.
