Marie de Clèves, Duchess of Orléans (b. 1426), was the wife of Charles d’Orléans (1394–1465) and mother of King Louis XII of France (1462–1515). Her roles as wife and mother have often distracted from her rich poetic and artistic life at the Blois court. Marie is the author of two known rondeaux (one of the fixed forms common in late medieval French poetry), though it is likely she wrote more extensively than this limited poetic record shows.
