Franchise d'Aubigne*, the future Madame de Maintenon, was a few years older than the other [181] ROBERT CAVELIER Fra^oise, Madame de Montespan. Her father had been a nobleman, a gambler, a bankrupt, an adventurer, and the kindest act which he ever performed for his devoted wife and children was when he died, in 1647. Fra^oise's mother, unable to provide for both her children, placed her daughter in an Ursuline convent at Niort, where the seeds of religion were carefully sown, and an implacable ...abhorrence of Protestant- ism created. This religious fervour became so much a part of her life that even the flippancy of Scarron, whom she married at seventeen, could not shake it ; and when her misfortunes placed her in charge of the children of the King and Madame de Montespan, she wel- comed it as an opportunity given to her to plant the doctrines of the true and only faith in those who were of the King's blood. 1 Louis could not help seeing this in his daily contact with his legitimated children, to whom he gave a devotion far in excess of his affection for the Dauphin.
