Who was Duchesse d'Aiguillon?
Marie Madeleine de Vignerot du Pont de Courlay, Duchesse d'Aiguillon was the daughter of Cardinal Richelieu's sister, Françoise du Plessis and her husband René du Vignerot.
In 1620 she married a nephew of the constable de Luynes, Antoine de Beauvoir du Roure, sieur de Combalet, who died in 1622. In 1625, through her uncle's influence, she was made a lady-in-waiting to the queen-mother Marie de' Medici, and in 1638 was created duchess of Aiguillon.
She did not marry a second time, although Richelieu wished to marry her to a prince, either to the comte de Soissons or to the king's brother.
