Marie Louise de Rohan (Marie Louise Geneviève; 7 January 1720 – 4 March 1803), also known as Madame de Marsan, was the governess of Louis XVI of France and his siblings. ==Biography== She was the sister of Charles, Prince of Soubise; Marie Louise's niece was Charlotte, ''princesse de Condé''. Marie Louise was the only daughter of Jules de Rohan, Prince of Soubise and Anne Julie de Melun. After her parents died of smallpox in 1724 in Paris, she and her brothers lived at Versailles with their uncle, Hercule Mériadec de Rohan, Prince of Guéméné. Her eldest brother Charles was the same age as Louis XV and became Louis' great companion. On 4 June 1736,〔Some sources say 14 June〕 Marie Louise married the widow of Gaston Jean Baptiste de Lorraine, Count of Marsan and Walhaim, (1721–1743). The wedding nuptials were carried out in the chapel of the ''hôtel de Mayenne'' by her great uncle the Cardinal de Soubise. At the age of 23, Marie Louise became a widow as her husband died of smallpox like her parents. Afterwards, she led a pious and reserved life. The couple had no surviving children. As a widow, she took Louis-Guillaume Le Monnier as a lover; he was the physician to Louis XV.〔Gillispie.
