 During the years he was in the ascendancy, the Duke of Luynes attempted to remedy the formal distance between Louis and his queen.He sent away Inés de la Torre and the other Spanish ladies and replaced them with French ones, notably the Princesse of Conti (Louise Marguerite of Lorraine) and his wife Marie de Rohan-Montbazon, with whom he organized court events that would bring the couple together under amiable circumstances.Anne began to dress in the French manner, and in 1619 Luynes pressed the king to bed his queen.
