MONTESSON, CHARLOTTE JEANNE BERAUD DE LA HAYE DE RIOU, MARQUISE DE (1737-1805) , was born in Paris of an old
Breton
  family. About 1754 she married
Jean
  Baptiste, marquis de Montesson, who died in 1769. Her beauty and intelligence attracted the attention of Louis Philippe, duke of Orleans, whom she secretly married in 1773 with the authorization of the king. For her
husband
 's amusement she set up a little theatre and wrote several plays, in the acting of which she herself took
part
 . She was imprisoned for some time during the Terror, but was released after the fall of Robespierre, became the friend of the empress Josephine, and was a prominent figure at the beginning of the
empire
 .
The best edition of her works appeared under the
title
  of Gfuvres anonymes in 1782-1785. See' Charles Colle,
Journal
  (1868); the Memoirs of St Simon, Madame de
Genlis
 , the duchesse d'
Abrantes
  and Mme de Levis; G. Strenger, " La Societe de la marquise de Montesson," in the Nouvelle revue (1902); J. '1'urquan, Madame de Montesson douairiere d'Orleans (Paris, 1904) ; and G. Capon and R. Ive-Plessis, Les Theatres clandestins du xviii' siecle (1904).
