Notes about Louise de Coligny

Op 26 mei 1572 trouwde ze op 16-jarige leeftijd met de ongeveer twintig jaar oudere Charles de Téligny, een protestantse diplomaat. Nadat zowel Charlesals haar vader tijdens de Bartholomeusnacht (24 augustus 1572) was vermoord, vluchtte zij naar Zwitserland.

Op 12 april 1583 trouwde zij met prins Willem I in Antwerpen. Dit was het enige jaar sinds 1572 dat zij niet in rouwkleding was gekleed. Het huwelijkvan Willem en Louise was politiek beladen, haar Franse afkomst maakte Louise niet erg populair in de Nederlanden. Hun zoon Frederik Hendrik werd geborenop 29 januari 1584. Op 10 juli van datzelfde jaar overleed Willem van Oranje als gevolg van de aanslag van Balthasar Gerards en was Louise voor detweede maal weduwe geworden. Zij speelde als weduwe van Willem de Zwijger nog een zekere publieke rol; bij het beleg van Geertruidenberg (1593) gingzij, net als andere elegante dames, een kijkje nemen.

Nadat ze in 1619 tevergeefs bij haar stiefzoon prins Maurits had getracht de executie van Johan van Oldenbarnevelt te voorkomen, vertrok ze echternaar Frankrijk, waar ze tot haar dood in 1620 verbleef bij de Franse koningin-moeder Maria de' Medici.
