Possibly Catherine de Goyon (1662–1699), wife of Jean-Baptiste Antoine
Colbert, Marquis of Seignelay (1651–1690), a French politician and Navy
Secretary under Louis XIV. He accompanied Abraham Duquesne at the bombardment of Genoa in May 1684
and completed the Code Noir begun by his father. He was named Minister in 1689.
Seignelay continued his father's work of expanding the French Navy; between
1660 and 1690 the Navy increased under their control from 18 sailing vessels to
some 125. Catherine later married Charles de Lorraine (1648–1708), the Count of
Marsan, youngest son of the Count of Harcourt, and brother of the Chevalier de
Lorraine.
