Lola Montez is about the only famous non fictional one I can think of. If you want to get controversial, Mary Magdalene

Well you're really in luck here because this lady is revered in Dublin by the fans of the Dublin GAA teams and those of Leinster Rugby also and there's a nice statue to her at the bottom of Grafton Street and rumour has it that it was'nt only fish that she sold:

Lola Montez, as mentioned by Lucy, was more along the lines of a courtesan or mistress:

Carlos, you really are a legend you know that! (Well I guess you do!)
Hands down you are the most suitable bloke to be on the TOBL committee.

Of course you can Lucy. You find yourself a fabulously wealthy admirer, he sets you up in a penthouse pad, gives you a stipend per month to enjoy life on, showers you with prezzies, expensive meals and takes you on exotic holidays.........and after a while you'll probably forget all your old friends here.
An important thing is to keep an diary as you will probably have to remind him when it's his wife's or children's birthdays.
A courtesan was different from your average street walker. She usually was a lady of some noble birth or the other, who due to some situation had fallen on hard times, but still having social connections was able to bater that for a sort of living which would but not necessarily included sexual encounters. It was a special place between being a wife and a mistress(not the domination kind). With the freedom not customarily enjoyed by either. Usually these women were quite well educated, witty, and shrewd business women.
