    I am Jean-Baptiste du Barry, I was a French nobleman. I am most notable as the lover and pimp of Jeanne Bécu (later better known as Madame du Barry, Louis XV's last official mistress), later becoming her brother-in-law by arranging a marriage-of-convenience between her and my younger brother Guillaume Dubarry at the église Saint-Laurent de Paris on 1 September 1768. Through that union the two brothers benefitted from royal largesse.
