Motteville began her memoirs by writing from time to time by what seemed the remarkable, but then turned into a defense of Anne of Austria. As a biographer, Motteville is recognized as accurate and thorough and her Memoirs, which includes documents found nowhere else, have been used by historians as a chief source of information on the mid-century conflict known as the Fronde.
