| dbo:abstract | Jane Popincourt (died after 1516), was a French maid-of-honour at the royal court of Louis XII and later of Francis I. For around twelve years, she had a position at the English court, first in the reign of Henry VII, as a distinguished tutor engaged to teach French to the princesses Margaret and Mary; and later in 1509, on the accession of Henry VIII, she was appointed a maid-of-honour to his wife, Catherine of Aragon. In 1514 there were rumors that Jane had become the King's mistress. During the Battle of the Spurs in 1513, the King's troops captured a number of French nobles, notably Louis I d'Orléans, duke of Longueville. It is unknown if the Duke had met Jane at the French court, but as her countryman they seem to have been introduced upon his arrival at the English court and they soon began a liaison. Although he was technically a hostage, he was used as a supplementary ambassador in arranging the marriage of Mary Tudor and Louis XII, and was treated with respect as such. This damaged the reputation of Jane, who was probably then in her mid-to-late twenties, an age by which a woman would have been expected to be married. When the Duke returned to France in 1514, Jane remained at the English court and appears to have begun a brief affair with Henry VIII. However, she seems to have wanted to return home. It has also been speculated that she was no longer welcome at the English court. She was listed as an attendant to Henry's sister, Princess Mary, who was about to become the queen of France. When Louis XII saw her name, he is said to have preferred that she be incinerated, and would not permit such an immoral woman to attend to his new wife. Jane remained in England until 1516, when she returned to France. She is said to have reignited her affair with the Duke and received a parting gift of £100 from Henry. (en) Jane Popincourt, född okänt år, död efter år 1516, var en engelsk hovfunktionär, känd som älskarinna till Henrik VIII av England. Hennes bakgrund är ofullständigt känd. Hon uppges ha kommit från franska Flandern, där det fanns en adlig familj med namnet Popincourt. Vid något tillfälle ska hon ha varit anställd vid det franska hovet, och det uppskattas ha varit hos den franska drottningen Anna av Bretagne under dennas första äktenskap. År 1498 anställdes hon som hovdam hos Englands drottning Elizabeth av York; hennes främsta uppgift som sådan var att fungera som lärare i franska åt de engelska prinsessorna, Margareta Tudor och Mary Tudor. Mellan 1502 och 1509 var hon hovfröken hos Mary, och 1509–1514 hos drottningen, Katarina av Aragonien. Åren 1513–1514 ska hon ha haft ett välkänt förhållande med Louis I d'Orléans, hertig de Longueville, det franska sändebudet vid det engelska hovet. Detta var på sin tid en skandal. När Mary Tudor år 1514 skulle gifta sig med kung Ludvig VIII av Frankrike, bad hon att Popincourt skulle få bli en av hennes hovdamer, men Ludvig vägrade att tillåta detta. Orsaken är okänd. Han uttalade att hon borde brännas på bål, vilket antyder att hon hade begått religiösa brott, men det kan också ha varit på grund av hennes förhållande med Loungeville. Under 1514 ska Popincourt ha haft ett förhållande med Henrik VIII. Detta förhållande omtalas ofta i historien och hon inkluderas ofta i listan över kungens älskarinnor, men i själva verket finns det inga samtida tecken på att så ska ha varit fallet. I slutet av 1514, när Ludvig VIII hade avlidit, bad Popincourt om att få återvända till Frankrike, och Henrik VIII gav henne en generös penninggåva. Detta har tagits som ett tecken på att de tidigare haft ett förhållande, men med tanke på att hon varit i tjänst hos engelska kungahuset i snart tjugo år, vore det en naturlig gåva av yrkesmässiga skäl. Hon avreste till Frankrike år 1516, och återupptog då sitt förhållande med Loungeville. Hon nämns dock inte mer efter detta. (sv) |
