caption: DIANA OF POITIERS (January 9, 1500 – April 25, 1566) was the eldest daughter of John of Poitiers. Married at 15 to Louis de Brézé, Seneschal of Normandy, she was widowed in 1531; she then became the mistress of the Duke of Orleans (later Henry II, twenty years her junior), son of Francis I. An intelligent and intriguing woman, as well as an undisputed beauty, she had considerable influence over her lover and over affairs of state, as a fervent Catholic, pushing for the persecution of Protestants.
