Adelaide Filleul, Marquise de Souza-Botelho

[2] In Paris she soon gathered round her a salon, in which the principal figure was Charles Maurice de Talleyrand.

de Flahaut fled from Paris in 1792 and joined the society of émigrés at Mickleham, Surrey, described in Mme.

She returned to Paris in 1798, and on 17 October 1802 she married Dom José Maria de Sousa Botelho Mourão e Vasconcelos (Porto, 9 March 1758 – Paris, 1 June 1825), Portuguese minister plenipotentiary in Paris, 2nd Lord of the Majorat of Mateus, who was previously married in Lisbon on 23 November 1783 to Dona Maria Teresa de Noronha, of the Lords of the Majorat of Apréstimos, by whom he had an only son, José Luís de Sousa Botelho Mourão e Vasconcelos, future 1st Count of Vila Real.

Her husband was recalled in 1804, and was offered the Saint Petersburg embassy; but in the next year he resigned, to settle permanently in Paris, where he had many friends, among them Jean Charles Léonard de Sismondi.

He spent his time chiefly in the preparation of a beautiful edition of the Lusiads of Luís de Camões, which he completed in 1817.

Her husband died in 1825, and after the accession of Louis Philippe she lived in comparative retirement till her death.
