Most of her time had been spent in the embroidering of altar-cloths, in devotional exercises, and in works of charity ; and the only joys she appears to have known were those of maternity, which were not spared her, since in ten years she had given birth to ...seven children — three sons and four daughters.^ En revanche^ she was accorded a magnificent funeral, and after lying in state for some time in the chapel of Saint-Calais at Blois, during which contemporary chroniclers assure us that several sick persons who had visited her tomb, " bearing offerings and candles," were cured of their ailments,^ her body was conveyed to Saint-Denis, in a hearse drawn by six horses, each ridden by a bareheaded " enfant d*honneur^^ dressed in black velvet.
