"...of several French kings..."

Surely just one - Henry II?

What was Diane's mothers name?

Diana Father Jehan de Poitiers, Seigneur de Saint-Vallier at fifteen he married Jeanne de Batarnay (abartur) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abartur (talk • contribs) 14:15, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

favorite rather than mistress

Diane de Poitiers'relationship with Henri II is somewhat different from the average royal mistress. Much older than the king, she acted as a "governess" to him when he came back from captivity at the age of 11 or 12. 218.166.85.241 14:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whose description?

Who was responsible for describing Diane de Poitiers as "the most beautiful of the intelligent ladies; the most intelligent of the beautiful ladies"?

Drinking Gold

I know nothing about wiki other than I use it often - and I found some information that is not in this article. I'm not the person to add this, however I thought it may be usable or of interest.

It speaks about finding gold in her hair when her body was exhumed - they believe it was due to drinking gold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.99.19.150 (talk) 20:36, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Serpent and the Moon

The article and a footnote describe this as a novel. While there is some speculation about the feelings of Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de' Medici, and some others, it seems much more like a biography than fiction. It has a long bibliography of contemporary sources, and a quick look at Worldcat doesn't suggest that libraries catalog this as fiction. Would anyone object to this change?

Painting attributed to be Diane De Poitiers

On this page, the caption of the the Clouet painting :

"A famous painting of Diane de Poitiers in the nude by François Clouet."

On the wikipedia page for Francios Clouet, the SAME painting is captioned:

Dame au Bain (Probably depicting Mary Queen of Scotts) [1] by François Clouet (1571) at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C..  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.120.64.241 (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Chargers?'

'Like her fellow chargers...' Which definition of 'charger' would this refer to? I cannot find it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charger Grandma Roses (talk) 18:59, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Probably should be "charges" (according to Wiktionary definition 7: "Someone or something entrusted to one's care, such as a child to a babysitter or a student to a teacher"). AnonMoos (talk) 14:41, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
