No.

Cardinal Mazarin's sister, Girolama, married Michele Lorenzo Mancini.
Their daughter:

Hortense married Armand Charles de la Porte D de la Meilleraye (d. 1713).
Their son:

Paul Jules D de Mazarin et de la Meilleraye (d. 1731) married Felice de
Durfort. Their son:

Guy Jules Paul de la Porte Mancini, D de Mazarin et de la Meilleraye (d.
1738) married Louise Francoise de Rohan. Their daughter:

Charlotte Antoinette married Emmanuel Felicite de Durfort, Duc de Duras (d.
1789). Their daughter:

Louise Jeanne de Durfort-Duras married Louis Marie Guy d'Aumont, Duc
d'Aumont (d. 1799). Their daughter:

Louise d'Aumont, Duchesse de Mazarin et de la Meilleraye, m1. Honore IV
Prince Souverain de Monaco.


Louise wasn't Hortense's daughter, she was Hortense's
great-great-great-granddaughter.
