What effect did Marguerite de Navarre have on the Protestant Reformation?
I’m doing a project on Marguerite de Navarre and I’m a little confused. What effect did she have on the Protestant Reformation? What were religious beliefs? And help would be nice. Thanks!
As a generous patron of the arts, Marguerite befriended and protected many artists and writers, among them François Rabelais (1483–1553), Clément Marot (1496–1544), and Pierre de Ronsard (1524–1585); also, Marguerite was mediator between Roman Catholics and Protestants (including John Calvin). Although Marguerite espoused reform within the Catholic Church, she was not a Calvinist. She did, however, do her best to protect the Reformers and dissuaded Francis I from intolerant measures as long as she could…click on the link….hope this helps
