Anne de Richelieu

?–1648) in 1644, and Armand Jean de Vignerot du Plessis in 1649.

During the temporary estrangement between the king and Montespan in 1675, Anne de Richelieu brought about a meeting and a reconciliation between the queen and Montespan, for which the king expressed his gratitude toward her.

[3] In 1679, she resigned from her office as the Première dame d'honneur because she was appointed to the same post at the court of the new Dauphine, awaiting her arrival, with her spouse being appointed chamberlain, Madeleine de Laval-Bois-Dauphin, Marechale de Rochefort as Dame d'atour, and Marguerite de Montchevreuil as the governess of the Dauphines maids-of-honour.

[4] The position proved not to be difficult, since the dauphine preferred not to participate much in court life.

Her court office was offered by the king to Madame de Maintenon, who refused it, an event which was a sensation at court and taken as a great sign of Maintenon's favor, since such an office would never have been offered to less than a duchess.
