Excerpt from The Life of Marguerite D'angoul�me, Queen of Navarre, Duchesse D'alen�on and De Berry, Sister of Francis I., King of France, and Author of "the Heptameron," Vol. 2 of 2: From Numerous Unpublished Sources, Including Ms. Documents in the Biblioth�que Imperiale, and the Archives Du Royaume De France, and Also the Private Correspondence of Queen Marguerite With Francis I., Etc In Marguerite, however, the relatives of her first husband found a constant patroness. Her influence was ever exerted in their behalf; though after the decease of the Duke d'alencon his heirs scrupled not to give her serious annoyance. The personal estate of the Duke d'alencon was claimed by his widow; and a considerable sum likewise at the time of Marguerite's second marriage was owing to her by the Duchess de vendome and the Marchioness of Montferrat, on account of the restitution of her dowry, which, as she bore the duke no children, she had a right to demand back. The settlement Of these claims, Marguerite, with the consent of the King of Navarre, delayed until some indefinite period; and a considerable portion of the money owing, she eventually altogether relinquished Upon matters of import, great or small, her relations unhesitatingly availed themselves of Marguerite's credit and in numberless instances repaid her protection by flagrant ingratitude.
