Renée Bouthillier de Chavigny, daughter of Léon Bouthillier, belonged to one of the most influential families of the noblesse de robe during the reign of Louis XIII. Through her marriage to Jacques Nompar de Caumont, she joined the prestigious Ducal House of La Force, a great aristocratic line linked to the French nobility of the 17th century. A few decades later, Anne-Marie de Beuzelin, heiress to the château and land of Bosmelet in Normandy, also joined this illustrious dynasty through her marriage to Armand Nompar de Caumont. Born into an old noble family from the Cauchoise region, she embodied the aristocracy of the court at the transition from the Grand Siècle to the Regency.
