  • Marie Brigitte O'Murphy (1729–1793), was a mistress to Louis XV of France from 1755 to 1757. She was one of twelve children of Daniel Morfi and Marguerite Iquy. She was the elder sister of Marie-Louise O'Murphy. In 1755, she was recruited to replace her sister as a petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress) of the king in Parc-aux-Cerfs by Dominique Guillaume Lebel. In contrast to her sisters, she was not described as a beauty nor as a prostitute, but as a virtuous girl scarred by pockmarks who supported herself by making false ornamental pearls and as an artist's model. René Louis de Voyer de Paulmy d'Argenson commented that her lack of beauty was not a problem because the king was stimulated by the fact that she was the sister of his previous mistress, as it was his taste to go from sister to sister after his affair with the Mailly-Nesle sisters. Charles Philippe d'Albert de Luynes noted that the king had two lovers in the Parc-aux-cerfs at this point and that one of them was a good painter who had painted him, and this painter is identified as Brigitte O'Murphy. Brigitte O'Murphy was fired from her position in 1757, and it is noted that she was given a pension on 26 July 1757. She never married. In 1770, her pension was extended, and it was noted in the report filed in connection to this that she lived a respectable life. Louis XVI allowed her to keep the pension when he came to the throne in 1774, at which point it is noted to have amounted to the substantial amount of 3000 francs. She attended the wedding of her nephew Louis-Charles de Beaufranchet d'Ayat in 1783. She is noted to have had a good relationship with her sister Marie-Louise O'Murphy, who left Brigitte in charge of her estate and castle Soisy in 1792, when Marie-Louise left for Le Havre during the French Revolution. Brigitte continued to manage her sister's property when Marie-Louise was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror of Robespierre. Brigitte O'Murphy was herself not imprisoned. She died in her sister's castle in 1793, during Marie-Louise's imprisonment. (en)
  • Marie Brigitte O'Murphy, 1729, död 25 augusti 1793, är känd som älskarinna till kung Ludvig XV av Frankrike 1755-1757. Hon var andra dotter och tredje barn till sina föräldrar, äldre syster till Marie-Louise O'Murphy. Hennes yngre syskon var Madeleine "Corbin", Michel-Augustin, Victoire "Gratien" och Marie-Louise. Hon fördes till Parc-aux-cerfs för att ersätta sin syster 1755. Till skillnad från sina systrar beskrivs hon, polisrapporten, inte som vacker utan koppärrig, och ska till skillnad från dem heller inte ha haft en bakgrund som prostituerad, utan försörjt sig med att tillverka falska pärlor och fungera som konstnärsmodell. d'Argenson kommenterade det med att det var kungens smak att gå från syster till syster efter sin relation med systrarna Mailly-Nesle. Krönikören hertig de Luynes uppgav att kungen vid denna tid underhöll två älskarinnor i Parc-aux-cerfs och att den ena av dem var en duktig konstnär som hade målat av kungen, och denna var troligen Brigitte. Hon avskedades 1757 och fick 26 juli en pension på 600 livres. Hennes pension utökades 1770, och hon uppgavs då leva ett dygdigt och respektabelt liv. hon tillhörde de få privilegierade pensionärerna när Ferme Générale förnyades 1774, då hon mottog 3 000 franc. Hon närvarade vid sin systerson Louis-Charles de Beaufranchet d'Ayats bröllop 1783. Hon förvaltade sin systers slott Soisy och egendom då denna flydde till Le Havre 1792 och sedan fängslades under skräckväldet. Hon dog en naturlig död på Soisy under skräckväldet, medan hennes syster satt fängslad. (sv)
