	Marguerite of Navarre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marguerite of Navarre (April 11, 1492 – December 21, 1549), also known as Marguerite of Angouleme and Margaret of Navarre, was the queen consort of King Henry II of Navarre.
		Marguerite's father, Charles of Orléans, Count of Angoulême, was a direct descendant of Charles V, and a claimant to the crown, if both Charles VIII of France and the presumptive heir, Louis, Duke of Orléans, failed to produce male offspring.
		Marguerite was married at 17 to Charles IV of Alençon, 20, by decree of King Louis XII of France (who also arranged the marriage of his 10-year-old daughter, Claude, to Francis).

	Marguerite de Navarre
		Marguerite was born into the royal family of France; her brother Francis, two years younger, was in line for the throne, but only if the reigning king had no heir.
		Marguerite was often at Francis' court, and, in the early 1520s, she became involved in the movement for the reform of the church, meeting and corresponding with the leading reformers of the period.
		Marguerite had begun to write devotional poetry as early as 1523; but it wasn't until after the death of her son in 1530 and of her mother a year later that she allowed a poem to be published, Miroir de l'ame pecheresse (Mirror of the sinful soul).

	Marguerite de Navarre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Marguerite received an education in Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, and later, Greek and Hebrew.
		When her brother ascended to the throne, she became a major cultural influence: she had Leonardo da Vinci and Benvenuto Cellini work at the court of Francis I. This brother was taken prisoner during a war on Italian soil with Charles V of Spain, the Holy Roman Emperor.
		During the time of the Reformation movements, Marguerite was preoccupied with religious and ethical issues: like Erasmus, her philosophy was that of "Christian humanism," and she protected writers and thinkers accused or suspected of Protestant leanings, including Rabelais.

	Margaret of Angoulême
		Navarre was not reconquered for the couple as Francis had promised, but ample apanages were assigned to Marguerite, and at Nérac and Pau miniature courts were kept up, which yielded to none in Europe in the intellectual brilliancy of their frequenters.
		Marguerite was at once one of the chief patronesses of letters that France possessed, and the chief refuge and defender of advocates of the Reformed doctrines.
		Marguerite herself, however, was protected by her brother, and her personal inclinations seem to have been rather towards a mystical pietism than towards dogmatic Protestant sentiments.

	:::: Graduate Student Colloquium ::::
		In this paper I will examine the theme of cuckoldry in Marguerite de Navarre’s the Heptaméron and how the act of writing this work was a means for Marguerite to express the psychological turmoil, feelings, ambiguities and thoughts she felt regarding her husband’s infidelity as she neared the end of her life.
		Marguerite’s penchant for writing was inherited not only from her great-grandmother Valentine Visconti but also from her great-uncle, Charles d’Orléans, as well as her own mother, Louise de Savoie.
		Given the monarch's role in the legal establishment of textile ateliers, it is not surprising that Marguerite de Navarre interlaced a discourse on clothing into the literary fabric of her tales.

		Queen Marguerite, during her whole life, experienced little else besides mortification and disappointment; she was suspected and hated by both Protestants and Catholics, with the latter of whom, though, she invariably joined in communion, yet was she not in the least inclined to persecute or injure the former.
		Marguerite's Memoirs include likewise the history nearly of the first half of her own life, or until she had reached the twenty-ninth year of her age; and as she died in 1616, at the age of sixty-three years, there remain thirty-four years of her life, of which little is known.
		This description of Queen Marguerite cannot be dismissed without observing, if only for the sake of keeping the fashion of the present times with her sex in countenance, that, though she had hair, as has been already described, becoming her, and sufficiently ornamental in itself, yet she occasionally called in the aid of wigs.

		Educated alongside her brother and well-versed in humanist letters, Marguerite counseled the King on matters of diplomacy and politics, no doubt contributing to the Crown's leniency toward and protection of Reformers and humanists against attacks by the Sorbonne prior to the Affaire des Placards in 1534.
