Golden Age Ladies: Women Who shaped the Courts of Henry VIII and Francis I - 3 (Pages 107 - 141)

 

Margaret, Francis I's sister, married Henry D'Albret, Count of Bearn and King of Navarre, and she became the queen of Navarre. In her previous marriage she had not had children, so she thought she was barren, but Margaret had two children, a daughter, Jeane D'Albret, and a boy who died. 

Henry II (18 April 1503 – 24 May 1555) was the King of Navarre from 1517. In 1526, Henry married Marguerite of Angouleme.

Louise de Savoy died on 22 September 1531. Her remains were entombed at Saint-Denis in Paris.

Henry VIII started to seek an annulment from Catherine, and Wolsey thought that he could marry Madame Renée, Queen Claude's siser, but Henry VIII already knew he would marry Annne Boleyn. 

Renée of France (25 October 1510 – 12 June 1574), was Duchess of Ferrara from 31 October 1534 until 3 October 1559 by marriage to Ercole II d'Este, a grandson of Pope Alexander VI. She was the younger daughter of Louis XII of France and Anne, Duchess of Brittany.
