Louis Marc Pons, marquis de Pons
Louis Marc Pons, marquis de Pons (fl. 1789), was a French diplomat.
He was the ambassador of France in Stockholm from 1783 to 1789.
He was the father of the politically active Camille du Bois de la Motte.
Camille du Bois de la Motte
Camille du Bois de la Motte (fl. 1789-92) was a French marchioness and political activist.
In 1789, she was involved in the plans of Princess Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte, a future queen of Sweden, to depose King Gustav III of Sweden, and acted as the link between Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte and the Fersen family.
She was the daughter of Louis Marc Pons, marquis de Pons, the ambassador of France in Sweden in 1783-1789.
As she had done during his tenure in Madrid, she accompanied him to Stockholm, where she acted as his hostess and secretary, and assisted him by creating a net of valuable contacts within the aristocracy and diplomatic corps through her role as a hostess.
In 1784, she made herself the personal friend of Princess Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte during the absence of Sophie von Fersen, and that summer, the three women made a pledge of friendship by uniting in the order "La verite et constante amitie" at the Rosersberg Palace.
France, which was the ally of both Sweden and Russia, opposed the Russo-Swedish War (1788–90), and her father wished to initiate peace negotiations between Sweden and Russia through France.
Camille du Bois de la Motte was given the task to use her friendship with Charlotte to arrange a meeting with her father and the King Gustav III of Sweden.
During the meeting, in the park of Karlberg Palace, Camille du Bois de la Motte handled the negotiations alone with the King in the presence of her father and Charlotte.
She convinced the king to agree to peace negotiations.
They were to be handled by her father, who would keep in touch with Russia through the French ambassador in Russia, and the Swedish king through Charlotte.
The negotiations, however, failed, and she told Charlotte that she believed Gustav III to have agreed to them to stall time and that it had been his intention to trick France all along.
During the war, her friendship with Charlotte was criticized, as it was believed that she used it to inform the foreign diplomats in Stockholm of war secrets given to her by Charlotte.
Princess Charlotte denied this, but it was likely the truth.
During the Riksdag of 1789, Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte prepared to depose Gustav III and place her husband Duke Charles upon the throne, and the war and the Union and Security Act had made her a leading part of the opposition from the nobility.
She cooperated with Prince Frederick Adolf and Gustaf Adolf Reuterholm.
The plan was to force Charles to act as a symbol of the opposition to the Union and Security Act when the time was right.
When the time arrived to make Charles act, however, he refused, which effectively discontinued the coup.
Camille du Bois de la Motte is known to have been involved in the attempted coup: she acted as a channel between the party of the princess and that of the von Fersen family, who represented the opposition of the nobility, as well as the diplomatic corps of Stockholm.
Camille du Bois de la Motte left Sweden with her father when the diplomatic contact between France and Sweden was severed during the war in late 1789.
She followed her father to Berlin, where she acted as his secretary and hostess during his post there.
They later returned to France.
She and Charlotte continued their correspondence even after all correspondence between France and Sweden were banned by Gustav III after the French Revolution.
She may have influenced Charlotte's political views:
initially, Charlotte, as a sympathizer of a constitutional monarchy, welcomed the revolution, but her views became conservative during the 1790s.
Camille du Bois de la Motte was a French royalist, whose family lost its assets during the revolution.
She acted as the agent of Charlotte in France, and Charlotte's friend, Sophie von Fersen, are known to have sent sensitive letters to Axel von Fersen the Younger through her.
In 1792, Camille du Bois de la Motte warned Charlotte that the next appointed ambassador of France to Sweden, Raymond de Verninac Saint-Maur, was an untrustworthy Jacobin, a warning she is to have sent Charlotte on the mission of queen Marie Antoinette.

Camille du Gast
Camille du Gast( Marie Marthe Camille Desinge du Gast, Camille Crespin du Gast, 30 May 1868 – 24 April 1942) was one of a trio of pioneering French female motoring celebrities of the" Belle Epoque", together with Hélène de Rothschild( Baroness Hélène van Zuylen) and Anne de Rochechouart de Mortemart the( Duchess of Uzès).
Du Gast was known as" one of the richest and most accomplished widows in France," and as an accomplished sportswoman—a balloonist, parachute jumper, fencer, tobogganist, skier, rifle and pistol shot, horse trainer—as well as a concert pianist and singer.
She was the second woman to compete in an international motor race.
In France, she later became renowned for her extensive charity work.
She was president of the" Société protectrice des animaux"( Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals," SPA") until her death, and her campaign against bullfighting included disruptive direct action protests.
She provided health- care to disadvantaged women and children in Paris, and continued whilst under German occupation in World War II.
She was the central figure in the Parisian scandal of" La Femme au Masque" where she was maliciously but mistakenly named as the nude model in a notorious painting by Henri Gervex.
This salacious story involved three court cases, and was reported around the world.
Her exuberant social and sporting lifestyle was changed by a traumatic experience around 1910, when her daughter attempted to have her murdered in order to inherit.
In the middle of the night, in her own house, she challenged the gang and they fled.
Afterwards she devoted herself to French government work in Morocco, and charitable works with animals, disadvantaged women and orphans.
A pioneer feminist, she served as vice- president of the Ligue Française du Droit des Femmes( The French League for the Rights of Women) after World War I.
In 1904 she became the only woman official of the Automobile Club de France( A.C.F.).
She was known in the press by the sobriquets" l' Amazone" and" la Walkyrie de la Mécanique( Valkyrie of the motor car)".
