Hortense Mancini! I saw this portrait of her at a museum:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hortense_Mancini#/media/File%3AHortenseManciniGodfreyKneller.jpg

The accompanying plaque said that she had a “colourful life” which I took to be code for “had sex with women”.

First as a married teenager with Sidonie de Courcelles (upon discovery, her husband packed them off to a nunnery...together) and later, whilst the mistress of Charles II, with his daughter Anne, Countess of Sussex. This latter affair included a friendly duel in their nightgowns and Anne taking to her bed kissing and weeping over a miniature of Hortense’s face.
