The accounts move quickly from the fact of rescue to the fact of return to France, skipping over the specific experience of the encounter.

The Return And The Aftermath

Marguerite de la Rocque returned to France.

The exact date and circumstances of her return are not precisely documented, but the most consistent estimates place her return sometime in the mid-1540s — after Roberval had already come back from his failed colony.

What she returned to is not well-documented.

The property and social position she had left behind may or may not have been available to her.

Her relationship with Roberval — her guardian, the man who had abandoned her — is not recorded in any form after the events of 1542.
