Uzanne is correct in the attribution of the poems signed M.C.), Philippe See also:Hubert, See also:Simon See also:Arnauld de Pomponne,' See also:Jean Desmarests de Saint Sorlin, See also:Antoine Gombaud (te nain de la Princesse Julie) and others. It was copied by the famous calligraphist N. See also:Jarry in a magnificent MS., on each See also:page of which was painted a See also:flower, and was presented to Julie on her fete See also:day in 1641. The MS. is now in See also:possession of the See also:Uzes See also:family, to whom it passed by the See also:marriage of Julie's daughter to See also:Emmanuel de Crussol, duc d'Uzes. See also:Montausier had bought the governorship of See also:Saintonge and See also:Angoumois, and became a See also:Roman See also:Catholic before his marriage. During the See also:Fronde he remained, in spite of See also:personal grievances against See also:Mazarin, faithful to the See also:Crown. On the conclusion of See also:peace in 1653 the See also:marquis, who had been severely wounded in 1652, obtained high favour at See also:court in spite of the roughness of his See also:manners and the See also:general austerity which made the Parisian public recognize him as the See also:original of Alceste in the Misanthrope. Montausier received from See also:Louis XIV. the See also:order of the Saint Esprit, the See also:government of See also:Normandy, a dukedom, and in 1668 the See also:office of See also:governor of the dauphin, Louis. He initiated the See also:series of See also:classics Ad usum Delphini, directed by the learned See also:Huet, and gave the closest See also:attention to the See also:education of his See also:charge, who was only moved by his See also:iron discipline to a hatred of learning. Court See also:gossip assigned some See also:part of Montausier's favour to the complaisance of his wife, who, appointed See also:lady-in-waiting to the See also:queen in 1664, favoured Louis XIV.'s See also:passion for See also:Louise de la Valliere, and subsequently protected Mme de See also:Montespan, who found a See also:refuge from her See also:husband with her. He died on the 17th of See also:November 169o.
