Antoinette d'Amboise

Antoinette d'Amboise (* 1495 , † 1552 ) was a daughter of Guy d'Amboise, Lord von Ravel , and Françoise Dauphine de l'Espinasse, and thus a niece of Charles II. D'Amboise and Catherine d'Amboise .

She married twice:

1. Jacques d'Amboise, Seigneur de Bussy et de Ravel, X 1515
2. (with marriage contract of October 23, 1518) Antoine de La Rochefoucauld , Lord of Barbezieux , Seneschal of Guyenne , Governor of Paris and Île-de-France , † March 30, 1537.
3. Louis de Luxembourg, Count of Roussy , † 1571

She had eight children from her first marriage, including Marie de La Rochefoucauld, Abbess of Le Paraclet , who was looking after François d'Amboise when he came to do research on Abelard before writing his work on him.

Antoinette d'Amboise herself looked after her cousin Michel d'Amboise , the illegitimate son of her uncle Charles II d'Amboise, after he had been chased away by her aunt Catherine because of his antics - only to send him away a little later. With the death of her aunt in 1549, she inherited the entire property of the Amboise family ( Meillant , Chaumont-sur-Loire , Lignières , Le Pondix , Charenton , Ravel , Chandeuil , Thévé , Rezay , Jaligny , Vendeuvre , Saint-Ilpize , Meymont , Enuzat , Vaulx , Limaigne d'Auvergne etc.), which was passed on to the House of La Rochefoucauld upon her death .
