Françoise de Montglat née de Longuejoue (d. 1633) was a French court official. She was the royal governess of King Louis XIII and his siblings.
Life
[edit]Françoise de Montglat was the daughter of Thibaut de Longuejoue and Madeleine Briçonnet. She married Robert de Harlay (1550-1607), Baron de Montglat and royal chamberlain, in 1579.
She was appointed royal governess to the children of King Henry IV of France in 1601.[1] She was given the responsibility for the king's children with Queen Maria of Medici, as well as for the children of the king with his mistresses, who were raised together.[2] She was referred to as "Mamangat" by her royal charges, who corresponded with her as adults.[3]
Her daughter Jeanne de Harlay (later Jeanne de Saint George) became a playmate and sub-governess of the royal children, who called her "Mamie", and was later lady-in-waiting and correspondent to Henrietta Maria and, finally, appointed governess to Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier.[4]
Her letters are preserved.[5]
