Help[Opinions] Re: Mazarine
in reply to a message by Mikah
It reminds me of Jules Cardinal Mazarin (Giulio Raimondo Mazzarino; 1602-1661), the semi-infamous Italian-French minister of France from 1642 onwards.
Mazarin's famous in his own right, but he's possibly even more famous for his three Mancini nieces: Ortensia (Hortense), Maria (Marie), and Olimpia (Olympe) were all mistresses of Louis XIV of France, and Ortensia also became the lover of Charles II of England.
So... semi-infamous French politicians and not-especially-outstanding royal mistresses. No, sorry, Mazarine does not endear itself as a female given name!
