Image Title:
Louise Marie Thérèse (1664–1732)

Note:
Known as "The Black Nun of Moret" To read See here: Sex and Race by J.A. Rogers

Note:
“The child lived and as mentioned elsewhere was named Louise-Marie. So as not to cause further embarrassment to the King and Queen and to the country, Louise-Marie was whisked away secretly to the distant convent of Moret, and placed in the care of the Mother Superior and her Nuns. Absolute secrecy was demanded of them by the King. The child was kept a virtual prisoner and not allowed to go out. She grew up in the convent and became a Nun.”
