These are the many daughters of Louis XV and Marie Leszczinska. The couple had so many daughters that the girls were referred to by numbers! This meant that there was a Madame First, Madame Second and so on. Whenever a sister either died or were married off the others would move one number up - that means that if Madame Second was married off then Madame Third would become Madame Second!
