Lettris

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

Contents

Life

Her parents, deeply in love,[2] had 5 children overall. After her birth, three sisters and a brother would follow:

Marguerite Louise also had a much older half sister:

  • Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans ( 29 May 1627 – 5 April 1693). Known at court as La Grande Mademoiselle, she was the daughter of Gaston and his first wife, Marie de Bourbon, Duchess of Montpensier, and was the richest heiress of her time. In her memoirs, Anne Marie Louise recounts her distress when, at the last minute, Louis XIV refused to let her marry the Duke of Lauzun. The duchess died childless, and her fortune went to Louis XIV. Anne Marie Louise was also a key figure in the Fronde.[3]

At the court of her cousin, Louis XIV of France, she was known as Mademoiselle de Valois which was derived from one of her fathers ducal titles. On 4 March 1663 she was married by proxy wedding to Charles Emmanuel II, Duke of Savoy the son of Victor Amadeus I, Duke of Savoy and her aunt, Princess Christine Marie of France. The proxy marriage was carried out at the Palais du Louvre in Paris. Françoise died at the Royal Palace of Turin without issue.
