caption: GABRIELLA D'Estrées (1571-1599), daughter of Antonio d'Estrées, governor of the Ile de France. Henry IV of France met her in 1590 at Chateau de Coevres and felt for her a passion alive, he called her to the court, made her marry Damerval of Liancourt and created for her the Duchy of Beaufort. Although he was married to Marguerite de Valois, the king did not hide his feelings for her even in public; she indeed it genuinely reciprocated, accompanying him everywhere, even on the battlefield even during pregnancies. Roman Catholic, he did his utmost with his sister Caterina, Huguenot, alacrity to carry out diplomatic action to resolve differences between the two opposing religious factions, gaining the acceptance of the Edict of Nantes. When, in 1599, Pope Clement VIII granted the king the annulment of the marriage to Marguerite de Valois, he immediately donated to the Favorita (Title forged especially for her) an engagement ring; But she died suddenly, a few days after prematurely given birth to the fourth child, already dead, probably poisoned.
