Suzanne -- that would be enough for me to run for the hills...smile
Since it took him 10 more years to finally marry, I wonder if he had a
marriage contract drawn for that one too and if the clause about having his
mother supported, etc was included???

All of the reasons Mona gives are valid.

Of course, I will never know, but in reading a marriage contract that was
later annulled, I saw that one of the items in the contract called on the
prospectiver bride to support the mother of the prospective groom-- in
France.

The prospective bride had been born in New France in 1663 and was a widow
with no children. She had inherited her deceased husband's estate.

I wonder whether that particular clause made her think twice!
