Note 179 — LETTERS TO MADAME DE GRIGNAN[11] FROM 1671 TO 1690. (continued 4)
Reading edition
Gourville affirms, in his Memoirs, that he was liberated before his death, and Voltaire believed it, from the account of his daughter-in-law, Madame de Vaux. But Madame de Sévigné believed he died at Pignerol, and so did the public. Mademoiselle de Montpensier confirms the general opinion.
