"At the same time [1661], Armand, Comte de Guiche, the bravest and handsomest man at Court, ... professed himself as her [Henriette Annas] devoted servant. Madame de La Fayette speaks of him as a very fine and manly gentleman, infinitely superior to the idle gallants of the Court. Already he had proved his prowess on more than one hard-fought field, and was burning to win fresh laurels. ... There was something about him, she [Madame de La Rochefoucauld] says, on another occasion, unlike any one else. He seemed, indeed, born to be a hero of romance. But he was too haughty and independent to have many friends at Court. He had at an early age been married, against his own wish, to a child-heiress of the house of Sully, but he had never pretended to love his wife, and although he had paid attentions to various ladies in turn, no woman had hitherto touched his heard. From his boyhood he had been Monsieur's [Philippe I., Herzog von Orléans] chief favourite, and it was in this capacity that he first became acquainted with Madame. ... The DeGramont family, to which he belonged, stood high in the King's favour at Court. ... Whether at Paris or at Fontainebleau, the Comte de Guiche was daily in her [Henriette Annas] presence. In the Court ballets and masquerades this accomplished cavalier was always one of the chief actors. [Es sah so aus, dass Armand de Gramont sich sowohl in Philippe I. als auch Henriette Anna verliebt hatte.]" (in: Julia Mary Cartwright Ady: Madame, a life of Henrietta, daughter of Charles I. and Duchess of Orleans, id., pp. 105-106).
