Marguerite de Navarre

Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549): Without a doubt, the French Reformation would not have had the impact it did without the influence of Marguerite de Navarre and her daughter, Jeanne d’Albret! As the sister of King Francis I, Marguerite made an incredible impact for the furtherance of the Gospel and the Reformation movement in France by protecting Huguenot reformers, promoting their cause, and writing profound theological works. As a member of the French royalty, her willingness to align herself with the persecuted Protestants at the risk of her own reputation and position is nothing short of remarkable! Once you hear her story, we know you will love Marguerite as much as we do!
