Natalie Victurnienne, Marchioness of Rougé

In 1789 she and her sons left France for Switzerland, and in 1790 they returned and lived in seclusion at the Château de Moreuil with her husband's aunt, Innocente-Catherine-Renée, Duchess d'Elbeuf and Princess de Lorraine (1707–1794; widow of Emmanuel-Maurice de Lorraine).

The comte d'Espinchal encountered them there, noting in his journal: I have found living here since the winter, the Duchess de Mortemart, mother of the Duke and of the Marquis de Mortemart, both of whom are deputies to the Estates-General … and both members of the majority of the conservative nobility.

The Marquise de Rougé, their sister, a pretty and amiable widow, is here with her children (she looks more like their sister) … and Mme de Pezay … who is her intimate friend.

[2]In 1796 the Marquise de Rougé moved to Wiener Neustadt, near Vienna, where Adrien was admitted to the military academy.

At first she had to take room and board in a home run by former nuns, as her lands had been expropriated and sold.
