Claude de France, née à Fontainebleau le 12 novembre 1547, morte à Nancy le 21 février 1575, est la deuxième fille d'Henri II et de Catherine de Médicis.
Élevée aux côtés d'Élisabeth de France et de Marie Stuart, elle épouse en 1559 Charles III, duc de Lorraine et de Bar. Cette princesse fort discrète est la fille préférée de Catherine de Médicis. Elle quitte fréquemment Nancy, la capitale de Lorraine pour vivre au coté de sa mère à la cour de France. Elle porte le prénom de sa grand-mère paternelle Claude de France.
Mariée à 12 ans, morte (en couches) à 27 ans, Claude de France mit au monde neuf enfants.
Sa biographie complète se trouve à http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_de_France_(1547-1575).

Married at the age of 12 and died (in childbirth) at the age of 27, Claude of France gave birth to nine children.

Historical background


DUCHY OF LORRAINE - CHARLES III THE GREAT DUKE

(1545-1608)

Charles III (1543-1608) is the son of François Ier (1544 -1545) and Christine of Denmark, the niece of Charles V. He was born in Nancy on February 18, 1543 and died there on May 14, 1608. Succeeding his father on June 12, 1545 under the regency of his mother, he was declared of age in 1555 and married Claude de France, the daughter of Henri II, in 1560. He tried to maintain strict neutrality between France and the Empire. Deeply Catholic, he fought fiercely against Protestantism. With the accession of François II and Marie Stuart, Guise by his mother, Charles enjoys a great credit at the court of France which is maintained under Charles IX. He founded the academy of Pont-à-Mousson and decided that the year would begin on January 1 from 1580. He embellished Nancy. From 1584, he joined the Holy League in order to overthrow his brother-in-law Henri III by helping and financing his cousin the Duke of Guise. After the death of Guise, then Henri III, he supported the Duke of Mayenne and signed peace with Henri IV in 1595. Henri, son of Charles, married Catherine de Bourbon, sister of Henri IV, in 1598. Charles died in 1608 in a peaceful Lorraine.
