Hvem daterede Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord?

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (født 2. februar 1754, død 17. maj 1838) var en fransk diplomat, der arbejdede for såvel Ludvig 16., Napoleon 1., Ludvig 18. som Ludvig-Filip. Han er især kendt som udenrigsminister og en nær rådgiver for Napoleon 1.

Talleyrand blev den første valgte franske premierminister (regeringsleder).

Adélaïde-Émilie (sometimes Émilie-Adélaïde) Filleul, Marquise de Souza-Botelho (14 May 1761 – 19 April 1836) was a French writer.

Germaine de Staël-Holstein (Madame de Staël, født 22. april 1766, død 14 juli 1817) var fransk forfatter. Hun var datter af den indflydelsesrige schweiziske bankier og franske finansminister Jacques Necker.

Germaine de Staël, som fra 1786 var gift med Sveriges ambassadør i Paris Eric Magnus Staël von Holstein (død 1802), holdt under revolutionen en populær, litterær salon med mange yderst fremtrædende gæster – herunder La Fayette, Condorcet og Talleyrand – og kaldtes således La Reine de Paris, "Paris' dronning". Som sin far var hun tilhænger af revolutionens progressive ideal, hvilket ikke mindst kom til udtryk i hendes skønlitterære værker Delphine – hvor hun fordækt gik til angreb på den kirkelige vielse og ægteskabets uopløselighed – samt i den erotiske roman Corinne.

I 1810 kom hun i alvorlig konflikt med Napoleon og blev tvunget til at forlade landet, først til Rusland senere via Sverige til Storbritannien.

I Danmark er Mme de Staëls navn gjort kendt ved Georg Brandes, der brugte halvdelen af sine berømte og kontroversielle første forelæsninger i 1871, om "Emigrantlitteraturen", på Mme de Staël og hendes allernærmeste kreds.

Maria Teresa Antoinette Josephine Poniatowska (28 November 1760, Vienna, then under the Habsburg monarchy, now Austria – 2 November 1834, Tours, France) was a Polish noblewoman. She was the niece of king Stanisław August Poniatowski and sister of Prince Józef Poniatowski.

Countess Anna Charlotte Dorothea von Medem (3 February 1761 – 20 August 1821) was born a Gräfin (Countess) of the noble Baltic German Medem family and later became Duchess of Courland. Popularly known as Dorothea of Courland after her marriage to Peter von Biron, the last Duke of Courland, she hosted an aristocratic salon in Berlin and performed various diplomatic duties on behalf of her estranged husband. She would spend the rest of her life in her estate in Löbichgau, where she would invite and host many important political and cultural figures of the time and make many acquaintances, ranging from Goethe over Napoleon I of France to Talleyrand, the latter of whom she was reportedly very close.

Dorothée Dorinville, stage name Mademoiselle Luzy (1747–1830), was a French stage actress.

She was engaged at the Comédie-Française in 1764. She became a Sociétaires of the Comédie-Française in 1764. She retired in 1781.

She was most known as a soubrette, but also performed tragedy, and acted as a singer and dancer. She was described as a serious and ambitious stage artist, and was a part of the movement that wished to introduce realistic stage costumes. She was imprisoned in 1771 after having broken the censure laws in a play by Imbert.
