Claudine de La Tour-Turenne

Claudine de La Tour-Turenne (1520–1591) was a lady-in-waiting of Marguerite de Valois (1553–1615), the spouse of the French king Henri IV (1553–1610).

By birth, she was member of the House of La Tour d'Auvergne.

On October 31, 1535, Claudine married, at the age of 15, Justus II, seigneur of Tournon and count of Roussillon (1510–1557).

[1] They had a son and a number of daughters: It has been suggested that the references to "bright queen Margot" and "Claudine" in Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita are references to Claudine, mother of a large family and widowed at 37, and Marguerite.
