Louis, the See also:great Conde. She was See also:born on the 28th of See also:August 1619, in the See also:prison of See also:Vincennes, into which her See also:father and See also:mother had been thrown for opposition to See also:Marshal D'Ancre, the favourite of See also:Marie de' See also:Medici, who was then See also:regent in the minority of Louis XIII. She was educated with great strictness in the See also:convent of the See also:Carmelites in the See also:Rue St Jacques at See also:Paris. Her See also:early years were clouded by the See also:execution of the duc de Montmorency, her mother's only See also:brother, for intriguing against See also:Richelieu in 1631, and that of her mother's See also:cousin the See also:comte de Montmorency-Boutteville for duelling in 1635; but her parents made their See also:peace with Richelieu, and being introduced into society in 1635 she soon became one of the stars of the Hotel See also:Rambouillet, at that See also:- TIME (0.

time the centre of all that was learned, witty and See also:gay in See also:France. In 1642 she was married to the duc de Longueville, See also:governor of See also:Normandy, a widower twice her See also:age. The See also:marriage was not happy. After Richelieu's See also:death her father became See also:chief of the See also:council of regency during the minority of Louis XIV., her brother Louis won the great victory of Rocroy in 1643 (see CONDE), and the duchess became of See also:political importance. In 1646 she accompanied her See also:husband to See also:Munster, where he was sent by See also:Mazarin as chief See also:envoy, and where she charmed the See also:German diplomatists who were making the treaty of See also:Westphalia, and was addressed as the " goddess of peace and See also:concord." Onher return she See also:fell in love with the duc de la Rochefoucauld, the author of the See also:Maxims, who made use of her love to obtain See also:influence over her brother, and thus win honours for himself. She was the guiding spirit of the first See also:Fronde, when she brought over Armand, Prince de See also:Conti, her second brother, and her husband to the malcontents, but she failed to attract Conde himself, whose. See also:loyalty to the See also:court overthrew the first Fronde. It was during the first Fronde that she lived at the Hotel de Ville and took the See also:city of Paris as See also:god-mother for the See also:child born to her there. The peace did not satisfy her, although La Rochefoucauld won the titles he desired. The second Fronde was largely her See also:work, and in it she played the most prominent See also:part in attracting to the rebels first Conde and later See also:Turenne. In the last See also:year of the See also:war she was accompanied into See also:Guienne by the duc de See also:Nemours, her intimacy with whom gave La Rochefoucauld an excuse for abandoning her, and who himself immediately returned to his old See also:mistress the duchesse de Chevreuse. Thus abandoned, and in disgrace at court, the duchess betook herself to See also:religion. She accompanied her husband to his See also:government at See also:Rouen, and devoted herself to See also:good See also:works. She took for her director M. Singlin, famous in the See also:history of See also:Port Royal. She chiefly lived in Normandy till 1663, when her husband died, and she came to Paris. There she became more and more Jansenist in See also:opinion, and her piety and the remembrance of her influence during the disastrous days of the Fronde, and above all the love her brother, the great Conde, See also:bore her, made her conspicuous.

She became the great protectress of the Jansenists; it was in her See also:house that See also:Arnauld, See also:Nicole and De See also:Lane were protected; and to her influence must be in great part attributed the See also:release of Lemaistre De Sacy from the See also:Bastille, the introduction of Pomponne into the See also:ministry and of Arnauld to the king. Her famous letters to the See also:pope are part of the history of PORT ROYAL (q.v.), and as See also:long as she lived the nuns of Port Royal See also:des Champs were See also:left in safety.

Orleans, while the younger, after leading a debauched See also:life, was killed leading the attack in the passage of the See also:Rhine in 1673. As her See also:health failed she hardly ever left the convent of the Carmelites in which she had been educated. On her death in 1679 she was buried with great splendour by her brother Conde, and her See also:heart, as she had directed, was sent to the nuns of the Port Royal des Champs.
The chief authority for Madame de Longueville's life is a little See also:book in two volumes by Villef ore the Jansenist, published in 1738. See also:Victor Cousin has devoted four volumes to her, which, though immensely diffuse, give a vivid picture of her time. See also Sainte-Beuve, Portraits des femmes (184o). Her connexion with Port Royal should be studied in Arnauld's See also:Memoirs, and in the different histories of that institution.
