Jeanne d’Albret was born on January 7, 1528, in the small kingdom of Navarre, located between France and Spain. Her parents, especially her mother Queen Marguerite, were supporters of reformed writers, teachers, and theologians. Marguerite also offered shelter for the Huguenots (French Protestants) when the king of France started to persecute them.
