Her parents' marriage had caused a scandal as Marguerite was a Foreign Princess as a member of the House of Rohan.

[1] This had obliged Louis XIV to issue a decree that she was able to marry Henri and still hold her high rank at court.

His older half sister was Marie de Rohan, Duchess of Chevreuse, a key figure in the Fronde (also known as the Lorraine War) an event which had a profound influence on the spirit of the era.

She was also a great beauty of the era with her red hair, fresh pale skin and almond eyes.

Known as la Belle Florice, she maintained her beauty by keeping to a strict diet of chicken and salad, fruit, dairy products, and water with wine sometimes added.

In January 1674 Anne became a Lady-in-waiting to Queen Marie Thérèse and five months later she gave birth to another son Armand Gaston Maximilien de Rohan.

Although nothing was proved, Louis XIV did allot a large sum of money to the compliant husband, "in consideration of his services."
