The "Daughters of Louis XV" refers to the five legitimate daughters of King Louis XV of France, who reigned from 1715 to 1774. Their names were Marie Louise, Marie Adélaïde, Victoire, Sophie, and Thérèse. These princesses were raised in the opulent environment of the Palace of Versailles, where they were educated and trained for potential marriages to strengthen political alliances. Despite their royal status, the daughters faced limited prospects for marriage due to the political landscape of the time. Marie Louise and Marie Adélaïde both married into noble families, while the others remained unmarried. Their lives were marked by the expectations of royal duty and the challenges of navigating the complexities of the French court.
