Beauvillier

Beauvillier (1607-1687), also François Honorat de Beauvilliers, duc de Saint-Aignan, was a French statesman, patron of letters, to whom Louis XIV committed the governorship of his sons. He died of a broken heart due to the shock the death of the dauphin gave him. Death of the dauphin refers to the 1789 death of Louis Joseph, the eldest son of Louis XVI, who died at the age of seven of what appeared to be a form of tuberculosis.
