Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NESLE , the name of a
place
  in
France
  (dep. of Somme), which gave its name to an old feudal family. This family became
extinct
  at the beginning of the 13th
century
 , and the heiress brought the lordship to the family of Clermont in Beauvaisis. Simon de Clermont, seigneur de Nesle, was
regent
  of the
kingdom
  of
France
  during the second crusade of St Louis. Raoul de Clermont, constable of France, and Guy I. (d. 1302) and Guy II. (d. 1352) de Clermont, both marshals of France, were members of the family. The lordship of Nesle was erected into a countship for
Charles
  de Sainte-Maure in 1467 and into a marquisate for Louis de Sainte-Maure in 1546. It was acquired in 1666 by Louis
Charles
  de
Mailly
 . His grandson, Louis de
Mailly
 , had five daughters, of whom four (the countess of Mailly, the duchess of Lauragais, the countess of Vintimille, and the marquise de la Tournelle, afterwards duchess of Chateauroux) were successively, or simultaneously, mistresses of Louis XV.
