 Anne Killigrew (c.1660-1685)
Considerable hostility was aroused by Charles II's marriage to Catholic Catherine of Braganza in 1662, and by James' conversion and marriage to another Catholic princess, Mary of Modena, in 1673.
Mary provided an example of virtue and beauty at court, and proudly faced down detractors and opponents who sought to oppose or exile her because of her Catholicism.
Killigrew's conscious choice of virtue, with Mary of Modena as her model, is a reaction to and a rebellion against the Restoration court's moral standards.

Mary of Modena's social life did not differ markedly from that of Anne of Austria.
Wherever Marie de Lorraine attended mass — be it at the Mercy, at Montmartre, at her parish church of Saint-Jean-en-Grève — she may often have done so incognita, entering the church in her curtained sedan chair, by a private or concealed entrance.
