Chi uscì con Pietro III di Russia?

Pietro III di Russia (in russo Пётр III Фёдорович^?, Pëtr III Fëdorovič /pʲɵtr ˈtrʲetʲɪɪ̯ ˈfʲɵdərəvʲɪt͡ɕ/) (Kiel, 21 febbraio 1728 – Ropša, 17 luglio 1762) è stato zar di Russia per sei mesi, nel 1762, duca di Holstein-Gottorp come Carlo Pietro Ulrico (in tedesco Karl Peter Ulrich) dal 1739 alla morte e re di Finlandia come Pietro I dal 1742 al 1743.

Figlio di Anna Petrovna Romanova, a sua volta figlia dello zar Pietro I e di Caterina I di Russia, e del duca Carlo Federico di Holstein-Gottorp, fu chiamato in Russia dall'imperatrice Elisabetta, sorella di sua madre, proclamato suo erede (1742), e fatto sposare (1745) a Sofia Augusta Federica di Anhalt-Zerbst (la futura Caterina II).

Ammiratore del militarismo prussiano e tenacemente attaccato al luteranesimo, rimase sempre estraneo alla Russia ed alla società russa: una politica estera poco attenta agli interessi russi, la riforma in senso prussiano dell'esercito, e soprattutto il suo carattere, gli inimicarono la guardia imperiale e la moglie, Caterina II di Russia, pochi mesi dopo l'insediamento lo estromise dal potere facendolo imprigionare.

Marie Anne de Coislin (1732-1817), was a French aristocrat, known as the mistress to Louis XV of France in 1755. She was the king's Petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress), not his Maîtresse-en-titre (official mistress).

She was the daughter of the marquis Louis de Mailly (1696-1767) and the lady-in-waiting Anne Françoise Elisabeth Arbaleste de Melun and married in 1750 to the duke Charles Georges René du Cambout de Coislin (d. 1771), but they separated early on and she moved back with her parents.

In 1755, Louis François, Prince of Conti launched her as his candidate to replace Madame de Pompadour as official mistress of the king. She was the first serious candidate to be put up against Madame de Pompadour since Charlotte Rosalie de Choiseul-Beaupré, and she was also to be the last. She did succeed to be the secret lover of the king, which attracted some attention at court. She became known as l'altière Vasthi. Ultimately, however, the plot failed, and she was ousted from court by Madame de Pompadour. After this, there was no more serious rival to replace Madame de Pompadour, and the king mainly settled with his unofficial lovers at the Parc-aux-Cerfs.

Marie Anne de Coislin had affairs with the Prince de Conti and the count de Coigny, and was claimed to have had affairs with Christian VI of Denmark, Gustav III of Sweden and Peter III of Russia. It is unknown if these rumours where true, but Christian VI and Gustav III did visit her during their visits to Paris, which attracted attention at the time.

She did not leave France during the French Revolution, but lived as a servant in Rouen, Brittany and Vendée during the Reign of Terror. After the fall of Robespierre, she resumed her former life and property. She remarried in 1793 to Louis-Marie duc de Mailly (d. 1795).
