Angelique Clarisse d’Angennes, Countess of Grignan (1627 - 1664). French noblewoman.
She was the daughter of Catherine de Vivonne and Charles d’Angennes, Marquis de Rambouillet.
Madame de Rambouillet was the founder of an important literary salon known as Hôtel de Rambouillet.
After several years being educated by nuns, Angelique finished her education in her mother’s salon. Along with her mother and elder sister Julie, she was satirized by Moliere in his comic farce Les précieuses ridicules.
In 1658, she was married to François Adhemar de Monteil (1632 – 1714), Count of Grignan, and bore him two daughters, Louise Catherine (who became a nun) and and Julie Françoise. After her death, the Count remarried twice more, his third and last wife being Françoise-Marguerite de Sévigné.
