Hortense Mancini, Duchess of Mazarin (6 June 1646 – 2 July 1699), was a niece of Cardinal Mazarin, chief minister of France, and a mistress of Charles II, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. She was the fourth of the five famous Mancini sisters, who, along with two of their female Martinozzi cousins, were known at the court of King Louis XIV of France as the Mazarinettes.

Catherine Pegge (born c. 1635) was a long-term mistress of Charles II of England. She had two children by him, Charles FitzCharles, 1st Earl of Plymouth, and Catherine FitzCharles.

Mary "Moll" Davis (c. 1648 – 1708), also spelt Davies or Davys, was a courtesan and mistress of King Charles II of England. She was an actress and entertainer before and during her role as royal mistress.

Frances Teresa Stewart, duchessa di Richmond e Lennox (Parigi, 8 luglio 1647 – 15 ottobre 1702), fu un membro di spicco della Corte della Restaurazione e famosa per aver rifiutato di diventare un'amante di Carlo II. Per la sua grande bellezza era nota come La Belle Stuart e funse da modello per l'idealizzazione di Britannia.

Winifred Wells was a courtier at the Stuart Restoration court as a Maid of Honour to Queen consort Catherine of Braganza. She was also one of the many mistresses of King Charles II of England. Samuel Pepys refers to her as the King's mistress in his diary, and she also features in Philibert de Gramont's famous Mémoirs.

Eleanor Gwyn (also spelled Gwynn, Gwynne; 2 February 1650 – 14 November 1687) was an English stage actress and celebrity figure of the Restoration period. Praised by Samuel Pepys for her comic performances as one of the first actresses on the English stage, she became best known for being a longtime mistress of King Charles II of England.

Called "pretty, witty Nell" by Pepys, she has been regarded as a living embodiment of the spirit of Restoration England, and has come to be considered a folk heroine, with a story echoing the rags-to-royalty tale of Cinderella. Gwyn had two sons by King Charles: Charles Beauclerk (1670–1726) and James Beauclerk (1671–1680). Charles Beauclerk was created Earl of Burford and Duke of St Albans; Murray Beauclerk, 14th Duke of St Albans is her descendant, and the current holder of the title.

In Inghilterra il cognome di Louise era usato anche nelle varianti Carwell o Carewell ad indicare il fatto che la nobildonna attingeva grandi somme dalle casse del sovrano.

Dalla sua relazione con re Carlo II nacque Charles Lennox, I duca di Richmond, e la dinastia di Louise continuò ad avere un ruolo di primo piano nella nobiltà e anche nella politica inglese.

Tra le sue discendenti si annoverano lady Diana, Camilla Shand e Sarah Ferguson.
