She is considered the first officially recognized royal mistress.She was the subject of several contemporary paintings and works of art, including Jean Fouquet's Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels.

The daughter of soldier Jean Soreau and Catherine de Maignelais, Sorel was twenty years old when she was first introduced to King Charles. At that time, she was holding a position in the household of Rene I of Naples, as a maid of honour to his consort Isabella, Duchess of Lorraine. Sorel then went on to serve as the lady-in-waiting for Marie d'Anjou, Charles VII of France's wife. She would soon become his mistress.The King gave her the Château de Loches (where he had been persuaded by Joan of Arc to be crowned King of France) as her private residence.

作为一个士兵的女儿，索蕾二十岁时候，第一次被介绍给国王查尔斯，当时她是那不勒斯的雷内一世的管家，作为伊莎贝拉，洛林公爵夫人的伴娘，稍后她成为查理七世的法国妻子玛丽安茹的御前女仆。很快她成为国王的情妇。国王给了她 Château de Loches城堡（在那里他由圣女贞德加冕成为法国国王）作为她的私人住宅。后世认为是她给予查理七世无比的勇气与自信，得以从英国人手上将诺曼底省夺回。

Soon, her presence was felt at the royal court in Chinon where her company was alleged to have brought the king out of a protracted depression. She had a very strong influence on the king, and that, in addition to her extravagant tastes, earned her powerful enemies at court.Sorel would become the first officially recognized royal mistress.

很快她在朝廷中出现，陪伴查理七世，为他驱散绝望抑郁，她对国王的影响力十分巨大，但她奢侈豪华的品味也为她在朝廷里结下宿敌，她成为史上第一个官方承认的皇家情妇。

查理七世封其为“美丽贵妇”，并命画家画下一幅名为“圣母与小孩”，又名“梅拉的处女”的画。画中的阿涅丝装扮成圣母抱着圣婴，而乳房的意义从中世纪的神圣，也转变成为文艺复兴时期的情色。

Agnès gave birth to three daughters fathered by the King: Marie, Charlotte and Jeanne. (Charlotte's son, Louis de Brézé, seigneur d'Anet, in turn married Diane de Poitiers, herself ultimately a famous royal mistress.) While pregnant with their fourth child, she journeyed from Chinon in deep midwinter to join Charles on the campaign of 1450 in Jumièges, wanting to be with him as moral support. There, she suddenly became ill and after giving birth died on 9 February 1450 at the age of 28. While the cause of death was originally thought to be dysentery, scientists have now concluded that Agnès died of mercury poisoning. She was interred in the Church of St. Ours, in Loches. Her heart was buried in the beautiful Benedictine Abbey of Jumièges.

阿涅丝为国王生下三个女儿，在她怀他们第四个孩子的时候，她在深冬季节从Chinon出发加入查尔斯在Jumièges的军营，为他做道德支持。在那里，她突然生病，在产后死亡，1450年2月9日，时年28岁。死因很可疑，一开始以为是痢疾，科学家现在认为是汞中毒。她被安葬在圣奥斯教堂，她的心脏安葬在美丽的Benedictine修道院。

Charles' son, the future King Louis XI, had been in open revolt against his father for the previous four years. It has been speculated that he had Agnès poisoned in order to remove what he may have considered her undue influence over the king. It was also speculated that French financier, noble and minister Jacques Coeur poisoned her, though that theory is widely discredited as having been an attempt to remove Coeur from the French court.

查尔斯的儿子，这位未来的国王路易斯十一，四年前已经公开反抗他父亲。据推测，是他毒杀阿涅斯，以消除他认为她对国王的不正当影响。也有人推测，法国金融家，贵族和大臣贾可斯毒死了她。

In 2005 her remains were exhumed and examined by French forensic scientist Philippe Charlier, who determined that the cause of death was mercury poisoning, but offered no opinion about whether she was murdered.Mercury was sometimes used in cosmetic preparations or to treat worms and might have brought about her death.

在2005年，她的遗骨被法国法医学家菲利普·查理尔检查，确定死亡的原因是汞中毒，但没有确认她是否被谋杀。汞在当时用于化妆品或治疗蠕虫，这也可能造成了她的死亡。

Her cousin Antoinette de Maignelais took her place as mistress to the king after her death.

她的表妹安托瓦内特在她死后替代她成为了国王的情妇。

Sorel plays a main part in Voltaire's La Pucelle. Two Russian operas from the late 19th century also portray her, along with Charles VII: Pyotr Tchaikovsky's The Maid of Orleans and César Cui's The Saracen. She is also a featured figure on Judy Chicago's installation piece The Dinner Party, being represented as one of the 999 names on the Heritage Floor.

索蕾在伏尔泰的诗作《奥尔良的女仆》中作为主要角色。两部19世纪末的歌剧以她为原型——柴可夫斯基的《奥尔良的女仆》以及策扎尔·安东诺维奇·居伊的《撒拉逊人》。

她还是朱迪 芝加哥的装置作品《晚餐派对》中的一个形象，作为999个名人中的一个。
