Qui est sorti avec Charlotte de Sauve?

Charlotte de Beaune-Semblançay, baronne de Sauve et marquise de Noirmoutier, née le 26 octobre 1551 et morte le 30 septembre 1617 à Paris, est une dame d'honneur de la reine Catherine de Médicis.

Elle a été la favorite de François d'Anjou, Henri de Navarre et Henri de Guise à la cour de France.

Monsieur François, Duke of Anjou and Alençon (French: Hercule François; 18 March 1555 – 10 June 1584) was the youngest son of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici.

Henry IV (French: Henri IV; 13 December 1553 – 14 May 1610), also known by the epithets Good King Henry (le Bon Roi Henri) or Henry the Great (Henri le Grand), was King of Navarre (as Henry III) from 1572 and King of France from 1589 to 1610. He was the first monarch of France from the House of Bourbon, a cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty. He pragmatically balanced the interests of the Catholic and Protestant parties in France, as well as among the European states. He was assassinated in Paris in 1610 by a Catholic zealot, and was succeeded by his son Louis XIII.

Henry was baptised a Catholic but raised as a Huguenot in the Protestant faith by his mother, Queen Jeanne III of Navarre. He inherited the throne of Navarre in 1572 on his mother's death. As a Huguenot, Henry was involved in the French Wars of Religion, barely escaping assassination in the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. He later led Protestant forces against the French royal army. Henry inherited the throne of France in 1589 upon the death of Henry III. Henry IV initially kept the Protestant faith (the only French king to do so) and had to fight against the Catholic League, which refused to accept a Protestant monarch. After four years of military stalemate, Henry converted to Catholicism, reportedly saying that "Paris is well worth a Mass". As a pragmatic politician (politique), he promulgated the Edict of Nantes (1598), which guaranteed religious liberties to Protestants, thereby effectively ending the French Wars of Religion.

An active ruler, Henry worked to regularize state finance, promote agriculture, and encourage education. He began the first successful French colonization of the Americas. He promoted trade and industry, and prioritized the construction of roads, bridges, and canals to facilitate communication within France and strengthen the country's cohesion. These efforts stimulated economic growth and improved living standards.

While the Edict of Nantes brought religious peace to France, some hardline Catholics and Huguenots remained dissatisfied, leading to occasional outbreaks of violence and conspiracies. Henry IV also faced resistance from certain noble factions who opposed his centralization policies, leading to political instability. His main foreign policy success was the Peace of Vervins in 1598, which made peace in the long-running conflict with Spain. He formed a strategic alliance with England. He also forged alliances with Protestant states, such as the Dutch Republic and several German states, to counter the Catholic powers. His policies contributed to the stability and prominence of France in European affairs.

Henri de Lorraine, 3^e duc de Guise et 2^e prince de Joinville, dit « le Balafré », né le 31 décembre 1550 à Joinville (Haute-Marne) et mort assassiné le 23 décembre 1588 à Blois (Loir-et-Cher), est un prince issu d'une branche cadette de la maison de Lorraine.

À la tête d'un puissant réseau nobiliaire, il devient populaire pendant les guerres de Religion en se posant comme le défenseur de la foi catholique. Après avoir participé au massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy (1572), il s'illustre à plusieurs reprises sur le champ de bataille en combattant les protestants. Prince de Joinville, puis duc de Guise (1563), il tient, en tant que grand maître et pair de France, une place d'importance à la cour.

Chef de la Ligue catholique (1584), il aspire à gouverner la France. Son but avoué est de réduire l'influence politique du parti protestant en France, en vertu du principe de catholicité de la couronne, mais il n’est pas à exclure une ambition personnelle appuyée sur une logique de clan et une rivalité entre diverses factions proches du pouvoir et de la famille royale. Il devint le maître de Paris après la journée des Barricades du 12 mai 1588, mais est assassiné avec son frère le cardinal Louis de Lorraine sur ordre du roi de France, Henri III, lors des états généraux au château de Blois. Leurs morts provoquent indirectement l'assassinat du roi l'année suivante.
