Agnès Arnauld
Mother Agnès Arnauld, S.O.Cist. (1593–1672), was the Abbess of the Abbey of Port-Royal, near Paris, and a major figure in French Jansenism.
She was born Jeanne-Catherine-Agnès Arnauld, a member of the Arnauld family, sister of Antoine Arnauld, "le Grand Arnauld" and of Mother Angélique Arnauld. She succeeded Angélique as head of the abbey in 1658, thus leading it during the most repressive anti-Jansenist period. She organised the movement against signing the Formulary
"Le franc et véritable discours du Roi sur le rétablissement qui lui est demandé des Jésuites" (1602). He was married to Catherine Marion de Druy and had twenty children by her, ten of whom survived him.
