From around 1680 massive problems arose, as the Chevalier de Lorraine, the Marquis d'Effiat and other favorites of her husband incited him more and more against Liselotte and intrigued against her in order to eliminate her influence on Monsieur. She was the victim of extreme harassment, and her marital relationship was now completely shattered. Among other things, her enemies used slander to get some of her confidants, including the lady-in-waiting Lydie de Théobon-Beuvron —whom she loved—, to be dismissed and banished from court, including her husband, the Chamberlain Count de Beuvron, and the Baron de Beauvais. After these departures she was exposed to the intrigues of the favorites and the arbitrariness of her husband almost defenseless, especially since at the same time her personal relationship with the King cooled down when his mistress Madame de Maintenon gained influence, and Louis XIV was less and less inclined to intervening in Liselotte's favor against her husband. The intrigues led to the isolation and disappointment of Liselotte, who now withdrew more and more into her writing room.
