A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Rambouillet, (Julia Angennes, Marquise de)

RAMBOUILLET (JULIA ANGENNES, MARQUISE DE), Duchess de Montausier,

Daughter of the celebrated Madame de Rambouillet, whose hotel, as the rendezvous of wit, learning, and politeness, was celebrated all over Europe. A sort of romantic adoration was paid to the mother and four daughters, whose minds were highly cultivated, and who presided in this scene of elegance and innocent gaiety.

The beautiful Julia, after a long courtship, married the Duke de Montausier, in 1745. She survived him, and became governess to the Dauphin, and lady of honour to the queen of Lewis XIV.
