Commentary
Ce type de revers fait usuellement partie de la série du mariage du roi et de la reine mais aussi de l’Ordinaire des guerres car il fait allusion à la lutte contre les Turcs qui envahissaient l’Europe. Feuardent raconte que, en 1664, Louis XIV fut appelé à l’aide, au titre de comte d’Alsace, terre d’Empire, et donc comme vassal à ce titre de l’Empereur. Il envoya contre les Turcs six mille volontaires qui se battirent brillamment.

She married him on June 9, 1660 in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and had six children , of which only one survived, Louis, the Grand Dauphin (1661-1711). She died on July 30, 1683.
