Anne de La Grange-Trianon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anne de La Grange-Trianon
Anne de La Grange-Trianon (1632 - January 30, 1707) was a French courtier and husband to Louis de Buade de Frontenac, twice Governor General of New France. Though she never set foot in Canada,〔Parkman, Francis. Count Frontenac And New France Under Louis XIV. Boston: Little, Brown, 1877. p 12.〕 La Grange played an important role in the development of the colony as Frontenac's ambassador in the court of Louis XIV.〔W. J. Eccles, "Buade, Louis de, Comte de Frontenac et de Pallau,” in Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 1, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003–, accessed February 26, 2015〕 == Early life and courtship ==
Anne was the daughter of La Grange-Trianon, Sier de Neufville and lived under the care of a relative in the Quai des Célestins neighborhood of Paris, close to the family of Louis de Buade de Frontenac. While little is known about her childhood, at some point during 1648, La Grange and Frontenac met and fell in love at the ages of 16 and 28, respectively. It does not appear that it was a relationship of purely romantic attraction, however. Frontenac was a career soldier from minor nobility who occupied a privileged position within the court and Anne was in line to inherit a sizable fortune from the estate of her deceased mother. La Grange, described as possessing a great beauty and wit, desired an opportunity to live a courtly life. Frontenac was in chronic debt. Married, the couple could provide one-another with a path to the opportunities they both craved. More immediately, La Grange and Frontenac both possessed a notably impetuous nature which led to the couple's marriage against the wishes and without the knowledge of La Grange's family in the church of St. Pierre aux Boeufs on October 28 of that year.〔Colby, Charles W. The Fighting Governor: A Chronicle of Frontenac. Toronto: Glasgow, Brook & Company, 1915.〕〔Parkman, 6〕 De Neufville, unaware of the marriage, arranged for Anne to be sent to a convent as a measure to separate the young couple. He strongly disproved of the financially insolvent Frontenac as an inappropriate match for his daughter and her inheritance. When De Neufville found out about the secret wedding in April of 1649, he was outraged, disowning his daughter and vowing to re-marry so he could produce a new heir to his estate.
