Marriage

On 28 January, 1663, Françoise married Louis Henri de Pardaillan de Gondrin, Marquess of Montespan (1640-1701), who was a year older than she was. Françoise had previously been engaged to his brother, but the brother had been killed in a duel after a ball at the Louvre. After his death, it was decided that Françoise should marry his younger sibling. The wedding ceremony took place in a chapel at the Église Saint-Eustache in Paris. The couple had two children:

-1. Marie Christine de Pardaillan de Gondrin (1663-1675), who died at the Château de Bonnefont, one of her father's castles in Gascony.[3]

-2. Louis Antoine de Pardaillan de Gondrin, Marquess of Antin (1665-1736); later Duke of Antin. Louis Antoine had a cordial relationship with his younger half-brothers, the Duke of Maine and the Count of Toulouse.
