About Marguerite de Foix Candale

Notes for *MARGUERITE DE CANDELLE DEFOIX COUNTES:

Marguerite was the daughter of Henry De Candelle De Foix and Mary Montmorency. Grand-daughter of the constable of Montmorency. Through his mother's line, Bernard could also claim the English title of Duke of Kendal, originally granted to his ancestor John de Foix in 1446.

Jean Louis and his wife Marguerite were buried at Saint-Blaise de Cadillac, Gironde. The tomb, built of marble and surmounted by a winged female figure in bronze, was inspired by the great royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica and by the monument of Anne de Montmorency. The tomb was destroyed in 1792 and the statue, known as "La Renommée," now resides in the Louvre (other fragments of the tomb, including marble heads of the duke and duchess, are in the museum of Aquitaine, in Bordeaux).
