had links to Marguerite d'Angouleme. Anne Malet de Graville was lady in waiting

wrote a book where in she described the horror of the persecution. Marie
Dentiere was a former abbess who abandoned her Catholic faith and wrote two
books showing her as a strong defender of women. Camille de Morel belonged to
an illustrious French family, and wrote poetry in Latin. This study provides
