Jeanne, Marquise ( feminine of Marquis) du Pompadour was a French noblewoman who became insinuated in politics of the time and was a virtual mistress of King Louis XV. She is nearly aways called Madame Du Pompadour, or Pompadour and rarely by her first name, surely no Saint! The attractive ( and she looked very mature in a sort of Catherine II style) Madame was active in French politics and intrigues up to her death in l765. I do not know how she died. It was natural causes, but that is all I know. Pompadour is, of course a hair style, which was effected by among others Amelia Earhart and the actress Georgia Southen, both Redheads.
