that unfolded in the 16th century and for an event that will emerge later in
our century. Each involves a strong minded woman brought to the fore
through the untimely death of a husband. In the 16th century the tale is
that surrounding Jeanne d'Albrecht, rebel queen of a minor state, whose
son would become King Henry IV of France. She was the daughter of Marguerite
d'Angouleme (See C1
