Was Hortense Mancini uns über ihren eifersüchtigen Gatten in ihrer Selbstbiografie erzählt: "... that I could not speak to a servant without his being sent away the next day, that I could not receive two visits in a row from the same man or the doors of the house would be closed to him, that if I showed any preference for one of my maids over the others, she was immediately taken away from me ... If I called for my coach and he did not see fit to let me go out, he forbade with a smile that the horses be hitched up, and joked with me about that prohibition, until the time to go where I wanted to go had passed. He would have liked me to see nobody in the world but him; above all, he could not abide my seeing his relatives or mine; mine, because then they would get involved and start defending my interests, and his, because they did not approve of his conduct any more than did mine. I was lodged for a long time at the Arsenal with Madame d'Oradous, his cousin, without ever being permitted to see her. ... Sometimes it was a sin to play blind man's buff with my servants, sometimes to go to bed too late. ... Another time, I did not stay at prayer long enough. ... As soon as he knew that I was happy in some place, he would make me leave it ..." (in: Hortense Mancini and Marie Mancini: Memoirs, Edited and Translated by Sarah Nelson, id., pp. 40-41).
