Kdo si vzal Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord?

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (2. února 1754, Paříž – 17. květen 1838, Paříž) byl patrně nejznámější a nejúspěšnější státník a diplomat období Francouzské revoluce, napoleonských válek, restaurace Bourbonů a Vídeňského kongresu. Pro své zásluhy obdržel několik vysokých šlechtických titulů: roku 1806 kníže beneventský, roku 1807 vévoda de Talleyrand-Périgord, roku 1815 vévoda z Dina (Dino je kalábrijský ostrov).

Catherine Noël de Talleyrand-Périgord (née Worlée; 21 November 1761 – 10 December 1835) was a French courtesan and noblewoman. Born in India as the daughter of an officer of the French East India Company, she married George Grand, an officer of the English East India Company. She had a scandalous liaison with Bengal councillor Philip Francis in Calcutta.

In 1782, she relocated to Paris, where she was known as Madame Grand and became a popular courtesan having relationships with several powerful men. She became the mistress and later the wife of French diplomat Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, the first Prime Minister of France. Catherine was known for her exceptional beauty, which was captured in her 1783 portrait by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. She was Princess of Benevent by marriage from 1806 until her death.
