text: Louis proved relatively more faithful to his second wife, Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de 
  Maintenon. He first met her through her work caring for his children by Madame de Montespan, 
  noting the care she gave to his favourite, Louis Auguste, Duke of Maine.[103] The king was, at 
  first, put off by her strict religious practice, but he warmed to her through her care for his 
  children.[103] 
  
  When he legitimized his children by Madame de Montespan on 20 December 1673, Françoise 
  d'Aubigné became the royal governess at Saint-Germain.[103] As governess, she was one of very 
  few people permitted to speak to him as an equal, without limits.[103] It is believed that they were 
  married secretly at Versailles on or around 10 October 1683[104] or January 1684.[105] This 
  marriage, though never announced or publicly discussed, was an open secret and lasted until his 
  death.[106]
