| Madeleine Brohan French actress |
French actress
Lover in 1860.
Daughter of: Augustine-Sizanne Brohan.
Wife of: Mario Uchard, mar 1853, div 1855.
Madeleine's personal & family background.
"Mademoiselle Madeleine Brohan, who carried off the first prize of comedy at the Conservatoire---one might say the first prize of wit, art, and beauty---will make her first appearance at the Theatre Francais in the beginning of October.' It was in the above terms that L'Artiste of August, 1850, presented to the cultured and artistic public Mdlle. Madeleine Brohan, the daughter of Suzanne, the sister of Augustine." (Behind the Scenes of the Comedie Francaise: and Other Recollections: 257)
Physical appearance & personal qualities.
Physical appearance & personal qualities.
"Paul de Saint-Victor, more of a colourist than Jules Kanin, portrayed on the morrow of her first appearance this lovely Madeleine with a brilliant touch: 'She is barely seventeen, but her beauty, impatient as it were to blossom forth, has already burst asunder those vague undulations of girlhood which are to the body as the indistinct outlines of the scarcely-begun statue already quivering in the block of marble. Nevertheless the majestic elegance of her walk, the turn of the proud and graceful head, the haughty coquetry of her movements, stamp her at once as of those sculptural figures challenging as it were the scrutiny of the masses, created for the ideal perspective of the theatre, for the lofty and at the same time gentle attitudes of love and passion. She belongs to those whose mere appearance is sufficient to convulse a house with enthusiasm, and to sell all hands frantically applauding. What is more rare and delightful, this lovely face of marble becomes mobile at the merest prompting of a whim, and the ever-shifting flashes of her physiognomy have full play on the perfect oval of her features, the serene glance of her dark ever evaporates with the last word of the coruscating sally, the sprightly melody of animation unites in her voice with the vibrating accents of emotion; her lips are capable of any and every smile, the one that puts them in irony and finesse as well as that which only settles on them for a moment like a tiny cornflower composed of sunshine and gaiety. . . .'" (Behind the Scenes of the Comedie Francaise: and Other Recollections: 257)
"Madeleine Brohan appeared at the hour when actresses should appear---in the full splendour of her seventeen summers. Beautiful as a marble statue, she was after all a statue of flesh ripening into greater beauty at every melody of youth and intelligence. If there was a great deal of the nymph of antiquity about her, there was also much of the contemporary Parisian girl. If every now and then she smiled like a goddess, she could also smile like the precocious damsel of Marivaux's plays, who knows everything without having learnt anything. Difficult indeed would it be to count the flashes of those magnificent dark eyes, the ironic sallies that fell from those cherry lips. We say nothing of the charming attitudes she could fall into, of the proud gracefulness of her carriage. A sculptor seeing her might have chosen her as the model for this admirable figure on our modern muse, The Unconscious Coquette. (Behind the Scenes of the Comedie Francaise: and Other Recollections: 259)
2) Rachel Felix.
Lover in 1843.
" . . . Rachel's first public, indeed publicized, liaison did not take place until 1838. . . The man she chose made for a pert rejoinder to those who bemoaned her 'fall': Francois de Bourbon-Orleans, Prince de Joinville, the third of Louis-Philippe's five sons and the hero of the expedition to Saint Helena and Napoleon's Second Funeral. . . Joinville was a prince to be enjoyed for the pleasure of it: Charming, handsome, and twenty-three, he was a prowlet of theatrical corridors who had a private hideaway on the rue Montpensier where he could entertain her. They were a high-spirited couple. . . After the young prince made a politically correct marriage she continued to keep his statue on display in her living room. . . ." (Tragic Muse: Rachel of the Comédie Française: 151)

| Henri of Orleans Duke of Aumale @Wikipedia |
(1822-1897)
"The Duke d'Aumale was undoubtedly the ablest of the Orleans Princes of those days. Entering the army in 1837, when he had only just completed his fifteenth year, he served like his brothers, Orleans and Nemours, under Bugeaud in Algiers, where, from the outset, he displayed diligence, activity, and enterprise. . . (A)fter promotion to a colonelcy, he returned to Paris, he entangled himself, although not yet twenty-one, first with a notoriety of the Opera house, Heloise Florentin, and immediately afterwards with an actress of the Varieties, Alice Ozy, in whose good graces he succeeded. . . ."

| Alice Ozy French actress @Wikipedia |
His lovers were:
French actress, singer & courtesan
"Alice Ozy (Julie-Justine Pillow) was renowned for her charm, wit and financial intelligence. She started . . . in the theatre, where she stole the heart of the young Duc d'Aumale. It was an affair that was to establish her, although she did not return his loyalty, and moved on to a series of conquests. . . ." (Decadent Handbook)

2) Berthe de Clinchamp (1833-1911)
Comtesse de Clinchamp
Lover in 1870
" . . . The duke's wife, Marie Emilie de Bourbon-Sicilie, princesse de Salerne, had died in 1869, and Madame Berthe, comtesse de Clinchamp, long since the duc d'Aumale's mistress, dutifully followed him to Chantilly. Possibly these rooms had been hers, and were to be hers again when she happily reigned at Chantilly as the duke's companion. . . ." (Moving Rooms: 68)
"The countess Berthe de Clinchamp began in Chantilly as Duchess of Aumale 's maid of honour. After the death of the Duchess, she stayed in the Castle and became Duke's maid. . . She reigned on Chantilly. Many people think she married duke of Aumale but there is no proof of that. In the album about Count of Paris published in 1996 by his nephew Michel of Greece there is a pic of Berthe de Clinchamp (p.67)." (Alexander Palace)

" . . . In 1984, Henri and Marie-Thérèse received a civil divorce. On 31 October of that same year, Henri married Micaëla Anna María Cousiño y Quiñones de León (born on 30 April 1938), daughter of Luis Cousiño y Sebire and his wife Doña Antonia Maria Quiñones de Léon y Bañuelos, 4th Marchioness of San Carlos. As this marriage was not celebrated in the Roman Catholic Church, it was not recognised by a number of French royalists. Henri's father, too, was furious; he disinherited Henri, stripped him of his titles, and gave him the lesser-valued title comte de Mortain (Clermont was once held by the cadet son of Louis IX of France, who became the ancestor of the Bourbon line, Mortain was once held by John Lackland appanage). Henri refused all mail addressed to him as 'Count of Mortain.'...." (Wikipedia)

2) Monique Friesz.
Lover in 1975
"The lawyers are especially keen to hear what Henri’s mistress, former nurse and governess Monique Friesz, 13 years the count’s junior, has to say. She is not listed in the phone directory, and Baratelli’s superior, Paul Lombard, says he has been trying, without success, to contact her. However, some people familiar with the case say her modest bungalow near Dreux, where she and the count, lovers since 1975, had been living, bespeaks anything but a lavish lifestyle. So the attorneys also want permission to sift through the records of a foundation that the count had created and endowed to hunt for any signs of improprieties."
