- Renée de France was born in Blois on October 25, 1510, and died in Montargis on June 12, 1574. She is the youngest daughter of Louis XII Of France and his second wife, Anne Of Brittany.
Furthermore she was the sister-in-law of François I of France, aunt of Henri II of France, and the great-aunt of the three kings François II, Charles IX and Henri III Of France. At the age of 18 she married Duke Ercole II d'Este. Consequently she spent spent thirty-two years of her life in Ferrarra, Italy.
When her older sister, Claude de France, married to François d'Angoulême, the future François I Of France, she could have claimed the ducal throne of Brittany. She was married off to the Duke of Ferrarra in order to prevent her from doing so.
Renée embraced Protestantism in the 1530s, Renée received and kept up correspondence with Jean Calvin, the leader of the theocratic Republic of Geneva. When her husband forbade Calvinism in his states in 1554, she was pressured into abandon her religious views. After the death of her husband in 1559, she moved to Montargis, France, where she founded a Reformed church. She welcomed many Protestant refugees during the Wars of Religion.

A wonderful woman of character! Thank you, Kings of France, for another exciting story! Love to rewatch your videos and enjoy your representation of historical personalities one more time !
She stood her ground, which was a lot to be said for the time when she lived. An inspiration to those of us today who are confronted with such trials of the modern age.
Clever lady. Merci for the video.
Indeed she was. Thank you very much for watching !
Renée deserves more popularity as she is less studied than her sister (for obvious reasons) but her life was as interesting as Claude's.
Personally, out of the two of them, I think Renée accomplished much more than Claude did.
Renee was clever and brave! Fantastic as always 🎉! Merci 🌸♥️
Merci à toi as always ! Always glad to hear from you ! 🌻❤🌻
Hi, awesome live history video I enjoyed it how are you and cute Rani your cat? I'm doing well. My cat Benjamin says hi to you and cute Rani your cat. Have a great day 😊
Hi cute Benjamin, Rani sends her purrs ❤️
Really enjoyed this post. Thanks!

Glad you liked it !
A remarkable woman, brave and intelligent. I had never heard of her. Thank you, Nieke.
Thanks as always, Manuela !
Hi, Awesome live history video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more next week. How are you and Rani your cat doing? I'm doing well my cat Benjamin says hi to you and cute Rani your cat. He sends his hugs and purrs to Rani your cat. He likes to be brushed all the time.The snow has melted in Ontario Canada. Do you have any snow where you are? Have a great day see you next video 😊
Oh how lovely that Benjamin likes to be brushed. Rani does not, and she's always very angry with me after a brushing. But, she's long haired cat, so it must be done, at least twice a week !
Renee was such a fascinating woman. I love your video documentaries so much.
I'm so happy you're enjoying my videos ! Thanks for watching !
Wow! What an incredibly awesome woman!! Very interesting video.
Beautiful vocal flourishes and artwork! ❤
Thank you so much for watching !
Very interesting life. Nice to hear about her protestant life amongst Catholics and the Spanish Inquisition! She was very brave. Thank you very much! 🥰
Thank you once again !!!!
Hi first viewer I was going to say will you ever be doing a video on Lady Jane Grey
Good question. Not at the time, there are a lot of channels who have already done videos on her. Although she's one of the most intriguing characters from the Tudor Era to me, there are other channels who might do her story more justice. But, I never say never. Maybe some day...
What a woman!
I know ! Very impressive !
Great job with the video. I have A question: which sister of Sisi is your favorite ?
As for me my favorites out of her siblings are Elena Carolina Theresa (Nene) and her brother Carl Theodor
@@plamenivanov92 I was talking about Empress Elizabeth (Sisi).
@Savage Darksider Elena Carolina Theresa Sisi and Carl Theodore are the first 3 children of Duke Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria and Duchess Ludovica I even have a book on Sisi by Gabriele Marie Christen
Carl Theodore is Sisi's younger brother and Elena Carolina Theresa is Sisi's older sister I even have a book on Sisi by Gabriele Marie Christen
I don't really have a favorite to be honest, or at least, I haven't given it much thought who is my favorite. As with all historical figures, every person has accomplished something which is usually worth reading about.
I asked History Foxy A question and she haven't answer my question.
Maybe she hasn't gotten around to answering questions yet... Give her some time...
@@TheKingsofFrance I gave her two weeks.
Another great video of another inspirational figure. What a huge role she played in the history of Reformed Protestantism. It's a good thing that the location of her grave is unknown or the Revolutionaries may have destroyed it. May I ask, what does the term "ancient languages" refer to in the West? Are they only Greek and Latin?
Mostly indeed Greek and Latin. Thanks for watching Vishnu !
@@TheKingsofFrance Thank you for sharing the answer.
As I already mentioned Thomas Howard 2nd Duke of Norfolk did not even want Anne Boleyn to be married to Henry VIII Norfolk wanted Henry to marry Renée probably exactly because of her protestant sympathies.
Thanks for sharing that cos I didn’t no that. U learn something new everyday lol
@Jess Rose Fawkes allways a pleasure to share something new
Wasn't that Duke of Norfolk very stern Catholic? 🤔
@Maarit Lehto I don't know about his religious conviction but for some reason he did propose Renee as a possible wife for Henry VIII
@@plamenivanov92 maybe to have better relations with France. And she was beautifull too. Who knows 🤔😊👍
I liked her until she helped the protestants, I used to like them but televangelist have made me dislike them,.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Most Protestants aren't evangelicals and/or don't watch televangelists. You need to educate yourself more about the very many Protestant denominations. I grew up in a very liberal Protestant church.
