THREE:Her mother having died in her early life, she was brought up by her father, the Comte de Coigny, at his chateau at Mareuil, an enormous place built by the celebrated Duchesse d��Angoul��me (whose husband was the last of the Valois, though with the bend sinister), who died in 1713, and yet was the daughter-in-law of Charles IX., who died 1574. [38]Mme. de Tess��, younger sister of the Duc d��Ayen, was well known for her opinions. La Fayette, de Noailles, and de S��gur had returned from America, and their ideas were shared by Rosalie��s husband, de Grammont, and to a certain extent, though with much more moderation, by M. de Montagu. All the remaining daughters of the Duc d��Ayen except Pauline shared the opinions of their husbands; M. de Th��san and M. de Beaune were opposed to them, as was also the Duchesse d��Ayen, whose affection for her sons-in-law did not make her share their blind enthusiasm and unfortunate credulity.
