Charlotte d'Albret

Image: the-borgias.fandom.com

Charlotte d'Albret, Duchess of Valentinois and suo jure dame de Châlus (1480 – March 11, 1514), commonly known as Charlotte d'Albret, was a wealthy French noblewoman of the Albret line, sister of King John III of Navarre, and wife of the famed Cesare Borgia, whom she married in 1499. She was Cesare's sole legitimate daughter, Luisa Borgia, for whom she served as regent following his death.

Charlotte, the daughter of Alan the Great, Lord of Albret, and Francesca de Châtillon-Limoges, was born in 1480. Her paternal grandparents were Count Bertrand V of La Tour d'Auvergne and Boulogne and Isabelle de La Tour d'Auvergne, daughter of Count Bertrand V of La Tour d'Auvergne and Boulogne, and Jacquette du Peschin, and her maternal grandparents were William of Blois, Viscount of Limoges, and Isabelle de La Tour d'Auvergne, daughter of Count Bertrand V of Charles I of Albret, Constable of France, was her paternal great-great-grandfather, and he was killed in command of French troops during the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. He had six siblings, including John of Albret, who married Catherine de Foix and became King of Navarre.

Cesare Borgia's marriage

She married Cesare Borgia, the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI and Vannozza Cattanei, in Blois on May 10, 1499, when she was 19 years old. King Louis XII of France recently named him Duke of Valentinois. Cesare's alliance with France was strengthened by the marriage, which was arranged for political reasons. Caesar accompanied King Louis on his invasion of Italy shortly after the wedding.

"Beautiful and wealthy," Carlotta was described. She acquired the estates of Feusines, Néret, and La Motte-Feuilly in 1504.

Cesare and Carlota only had one kid together (despite the fact that Cesare had at least eleven illegitimate children from other mistresses):

Louise Borgia, suo jure lady of Châlus and duchess of Valentinois (May 17, 1500 - 1553), married Louis II de la Trémoille, governor of Burgundy, on April 7, 1517; she married a second time on February 3, 1530, to Philip of Bourbon, lord of Busset, with whom she had children.

César perished at the siege of Viana on March 12, 1507, in the service of Carlota's brother, the king of Navarre, with whom he had sought asylum after escaping from jail in Spain.
