biography
Jacqueline de Rohan was born around 1520 to Charles de Rohan and Princess Jeanne de Saint-Severin (Giovanna Sanseverino), a French nobleman. She married François d'Orléans-Longueville on June 19, 1536 in Lyon . They had three children together. François d'Orléans died on October 25, 1548. She then never married again.
Role in Protestantism
Jacqueline converted to Protestantism around 1557. She had received the castle of Blandy-les-Tours as a dowry and received Huguenot refugees there, especially after the religious war in 1562. For this she was imprisoned in the Louvre in 1567 . She died in July 1587.
Four funerals
Although she died a Protestant, she was buried in the choir of Blandy Church. After the events of the French Revolution , her body was exhumed in 1794 and reburied in the community cemetery. Her body was reburied in 1854 when Blandy Cemetery was moved out of the village. The grave was destroyed in 1990 and then restored; on that occasion the grave had to be moved again, and only then, at her fourth burial, did Jacqueline finally receive a Protestant funeral.
