 Heloise (student of Abelard) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Heloise was a highly educated young woman, not a great deal is known of her immediate family except that in her letters she implies she is of a lower social standing, probably the Garlande family who had money and several members in strong positions, than Abelard, who was from the nobility.
What is known is that she was the ward of an uncle, a canon in Paris, and by the age of 18 she was the student of one of the most popular teachers and philosophers in Paris, Pierre Abelard.

 Heloise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Heloise (1101-1164) meets Peter Abelard (1079-1142; renowned philosopher and initiator of intentional ethics) in Paris, when her uncle, the Canon Fulbert, hires Abelard to be her teacher; she is 16-year old.
So, when Heloise happens to read a copy of Abelard's autobiography, she reacts by sending him a series of letters wherein she complains about his neglect of her, his silence, his indifference to the fact that she is stuck in a religious habit against her will and because Abelard placed him there.
Her first letter spells out the extent of her misery: the fact that she is still in love with him, that she does not have a religious vocation, and that she suffers from unsatisfied sexual desire.

 Malaspina Great Books - Heloise (1101)
Although they married--against Heloise's will, for she preferred the title of lover to that of wife--Abelard kept the marriage secret and sent Heloise off to a convent; this was the time when a church career was becoming incompatible with marriage.
Heloise claims that women are inferior to men and require their protection; Abelard insists that, on the contrary, God hears women's prayers more readily than men's; both cite numerous biblical passages as evidence--Heloise mostly from the Old Testament, Abelard, from the New Testament.
Abelard and Heloise, their love all too literally cut short, deserve to be called the creators of the modern ideal of marriage founded on the voluntarily shared tenderness of a couple who shelter each other from the harshly competitive world of the marketplace.

 The birth of Heloise
Peter Abelard offered Heloise and her nuns the house which a few years earlier had been the site of his unsuccessful attempt to found an independent place of learning and prayer.
The days recorded in necrologies are frequently taken to be the date of the death of the person commemorated, and this is probably the case with the nuns and other members of the Community, but since members of the same family are often found grouped on a particular day, sometimes another significant day was chosen.
Heloise could therefore either have gone with her mother to Argenteuil in 1107, or, since it is clear that it took Bishop Galo over a year to effect the eviction of these nuns, Hersint might well have arranged for her daughter to be sent to Argenteuil.
