Early Life[]

Some time before, he and his wife killed his in-laws with poison provided by Madame Agathe, in what is referred to as the "Affair of the Poisons".

Luxembourg travelled with the King to Holland and was with him for his key victories up until his assault on Amsterdam.

Upon the defeat, Luxembourg returned to the convent with Louis and was present for the talks about the potential ceasefire.

Once back in Versailles Luxembourg was revealed to have been familiar with Madame Agathe and was brought before The King. He confessed to having killed his relatives and believed he would escape. However the King had him imprisoned nonetheless.

He, Gaston, and several others who participated in the Affair of the Poisons were prisoners who awaited trial and witnessed the burning of Madame Agathe. It is unclear what happened to him or the other prisoners.
