She was to raise a Fontevriste (of Fontevraud) monastery of brothers and a convent of sisters. The eldest son of Gaucher, Guy was buried in the church of the priory of Longueau. During the religious wars of the 16th and 17th centuries, the priory was looted and burned, and the monks and sister transported to Reims. The old priory of Longueau became a stone quarry. In the neighboring villages, whole houses were made with the stones of Longueau, and as was the restoration of a part of the church of the neighboring priory of Binson. On October 15, 1791, Baron Guyot de Chenizot acquired the old priory of Longueau. The surplus of the farm buildings, part of the chapel, courtyards, enclosed enclosures, arable land, meadows, oak trees, vines and other outbuildings were acquired by Mr. Gaussart, a lawyer in the baillage of Châtillon. His heir sold the domain of Longueau in 1811, for the sum of 30 000 Fr, to Mrs. Hédoin-Chopin. The buildings of the Longueau priory still existed in 1864. In 1892, only the sanctuary and the first two bays of the chapel could be seen. The north side gate was transported to the inner courtyard of the Binson Priory. Today, from Longueau you can find buried walls of the chapel (perhaps the first two spans) and a column that dominates the hilly place called Longueau.
