The Guise were a powerful French noble family with estates scattered across northern and eastern France. The main residence was in the Champagne region at Joinville. Claude, Count of Guise was a military hero at age nineteen and a personal friend of the French king. In 1510, he was offered the hand of Renée, the younger daughter of King Louis XII, but he refused. He had already met Antoinette and fallen in love with her. Antoinette came from a good family and had a moderate dowry. In the summer of 1513, Antoinette and Claude were married in the church of St. Paul in Paris. King Louis XII and his son-in-law, the future King Francis I attended the ceremony. Antoinette and Claude then went to live at Bar-le-Duc near Nancy. In September of 1515, Claude fought in the Battle of Marignano and nearly died.Antoinette of Bourbon was the formidable matriarch of the Guise family in sixteenth century France. She had many children who were instrumental in international politics as well as in religious life including her daughter Mary of Guise, Queen of Scotland. Her grand-daughter was Mary Queen of Scots. Antoinette lived to the ripe old age of eighty-nine and the reason we know so much about her is many of her letters survive to this day.
