Notes about Charlotte de Bourbon-Montpensier

Charlotte de Bourbon (1547-1582) was de derde vrouw van Willem van Oranje. Het huwelijk werd gesloten in 1575.
Het huwelijk van Willem van Oranje met Charlotte de Bourbon wekte in een aantal opzichten groot opzien. In de eerste plaats was Willem gescheiden van zijn vorige vrouw Anna van Saksen. Daarnaast was Charlotte een afvallige non. Zij ging in 1572 over naar het Calvinisme.
Charlotte de Bourbon was aanvankelijk abdis van het klooster te Jourre. In 1572 brak zij met de Rooms-katholieke Kerk en ging over tot het calvinisme.
Het derde huwelijk van Willem van Oranje was geen huwelijk uit berekening, zoals gewoonlijk in die dagen, maar uit wederzijdse liefde en genegenheid. De briefwisseling laat dit zien. Charlotte schonk aan Willem zes dochters: Louise Juliana (1576), Maria Elisabeth (1577), Catharina Belgica (1578), Charlotte Frandrina (1579), Charlotte Brabantina (1580) en Emilia Antwerpiana (1581).
Na de aanslag in 1582 op Willem is zij, mede omdat zij haar man intensief had verzorgd, overleden.
