Marguerite de Navarre was a writer, philosopher, diplomat, and Queen of Navarre, sister of King Francois I, mother of Jeanne d’Albret and grandmother of Henry IV of France. She was also a proponent of the Reformation, mediating between Protestants and Catholics in France. Also known Marguerite of Angouleme, she is best known today for her Heptameron (1558) published posthumously and unfinished at her death but regarded as one of the most significant works of the Renaissance.
