Note 137 — Chapter XXI

This son, who received the names of Louis Charles and to whom Louis XIII stood godfather, became the second Duc de Luynes, and enjoyed some celebrity in the latter part of the seventeenth century through his connection with Port-Royal. He translated into French the Méditations of Descartes, wrote under a nom de guerre several books of devotion, and was the father of the pious Duc de Chevreuse, the friend of Fénelon.
