| January 28 | Death of Pierre Séguier, whose funeral pomp is held at St. Louis on March 16 (Séguier was the protector of Charpentier's cousin, Sevin (and by extension, of his cousin Gilles Charpentier) |
| February 1 | Mme de Guise's mother is dying |
| March 1 | Sacre of President de Bailleul's cousin at the Jesuit Noviciate. (Bailleul's wife and grand-daughter signed Elisabeth Charpentier's wedding contract in 1662) |
| March | Lully is awarded the privilege for an academy of music |
| April 3 | Marguerite de Lorraine, dowager duchess of Orléans, dies. Mme de Guise immediately goes to Montmartre |
| April 13 | Tenebrae services at Montmartre, where Mlle de Guise and Mme de Guise are in mourning for Mme d'Orléans. They stay there until Easter at least. |
| April 22 | Mme de Guise is in Paris working on her mother's estate |
| May 14 | Madame's funeral at St-Denis; Roquette participates |
| May 14 | "Service solemnel" for Madame at Montmartre |
| May 21 | Service for Madame at the abbey of Charonne (where Mme de Guise had been raised) conducted by Malier, bishop of Tarbes (Mme de Bailleul 's nephew) and "chantée par la musique [du roi]" |
| June | Several Te Deum are sung to celebrate royal victories |
| June 16 | Mme de Guise participates in the Corpus Christi procession at Versailles and is often at court |
| July 8 | Comtesse d'Escarbagnas and Mariage forcé are performed, with new music by Charpentier. Charpentier soon revises one piece in a joust with the Italian troop and Beauchamps, who has composed music for their Collier de Perles |
| July 30 | Bout de l'An of late Duke of Guise at Montmartre |

| August 27 | Mme de Guise is at court and remains there until the end of the year |
| September 4 | Les Fâcheux is performed. ( But: did Charpentier really write music for that performance? Or did he substitute as conductor? I wonder if the latter is not the case: because he was given a one-time payment in the amount usually paid to Beauchamps -- and for the amount Charpentier will soon get after each performance of the Malade imaginaire.) |
| September 20 | Lully becomes official owner of all music he had composed for Molière |
| Fall | "Déesses" and "heroines" oblige Molière, who has just "lost M. Lully," to hire Charpentier for his new "pièce à machines" |
