Children
Marie Casimire Louise de la Grange (1641-1716), Princess d'Arquien, daughter of Henri de la Grange, Marquis Cardinal d'Arquien. In Poland, she was known as "Marysienka." She came to Poland, at age four, with the French Queen, Marie-Louise. She was the daughter of the Captain in the French Guard, and the Queen's former governess. Rumors were that she was in reality the Queen's bastard by either Gaston d'Orleans of Conq-Mars. She married (1) to an elderly Jan Zamoyski in 1661. However, before Jan's death she and Jan Sobieski had a passionate romance. She married him, in secret, before Zamoyski's body was buried.
Marysienska and her children retired to Rome. They later lived as pensioners of Louis XIV, at the Chateau de Blois.
