Some accounts, drawing on less certain sources, suggest that after her return she worked as a schoolteacher in the Périgord region.

If this is accurate, it suggests that she found a way to earn a living through education — a possibility that was available to women of education in sixteenth-century France, particularly in regions where schools for girls were being established — and that she had not regained access to the property and social position that would have made such work unnecessary.

Whether she married, whether she had children, whether she achieved any kind of social rehabilitation after an episode that the moral framework of her era would have associated with disgrace — none of this is documented with any confidence.

What is documented is that she told her story to someone.
