Jacqueline de Bueil

Jacqueline de Bueil (1588-1651), was a French noblewoman and mistress to Henry IV of France in 1604-1608.

When both her parents died in 1596 [1] she and her siblings now orphaned, were distributed among relatives and Jacqueline was placed with a cousin of her grandmother, Charlotte Catherine de La Trémoille .

The young and beautiful noblewoman caught Henry IVs attention to the joy of her guardian who anticipated that she now would gain the kings favours.

She was also known to have had affairs with several other men at court, among them with Claude de Lorraine, Duke of Chevreuse, and participated in several plots.
