A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Roche-Guilhem, (Mademoiselle de la)
ROCHE-GUILHEM (MADEMOISELLE DE LA), born 1663, died 1710.
This lady was not much beloved by her cotemporaries, nor did they do her the justice she seems to have merited, which appears to have arisen from her being a protestant, as, in her Life of Julia de Farnese, she speaks with much satirical freedom of the vices of Pope Alexander VI. She wrote also L'Histoire des Favorites; Dernières Œuvres de Mademoiselle de la Roche Guilhem, contenant plusieurs Histoires Galantes; Les Aventures Grenadines; Arioviste; an Heroic Romance, in the stile of Mademoiselle de Scuderi. She mixed fiction with truth, but wrote in a pleasant and animated manner.
