 There is very little information regarding the nature of Coignard's relationship with her husband, but her poems indicate that her marriage was loving and rewarding.This was a rare coincidence in a time when aristocratic marriages were generally motivated by economics and politics, but Coignard was said to have been deeply affected by Mansencal's sudden death, and current scholarship indicates that she turned to writing to cope with her grief.Unlike most women in the early modern period, Coignard never remarried after the loss of her husband; instead, she became more deeply immersed in her Catholic faith and vowed that God would be her only spouse.
