Summery: This article was about Marie's scandal with a man named Hans Axe­l von Fersen. She loved him and he loved her. He was a frequent visitor to the Petit Trianon. Those who were not invited to the Petit Trianon circulated rumors of her affair with Ferson. They were very careful to not have any pregnancies. When Maire had her children there was no way to tell if they were Louis's or Fersen's children but Louis accepted the children as his own either way. This scandal can help me with my research because this scandal was actually true and how she never actually marriedd the one that she loved which might have caused the reputation of her being such a "flirty"women.
