Marguerite de Valois (1553-1615), known as Queen Margot, was the daughter of King Henri II and Catherine de Medici. Henri de Navarre married her in 1572 a few days before the Saint Bartholomew's Day. She remained at the Court after her husband's flight and joined him in Nerac in 1579. She fell out with him and returned to the Court but was expelled by Henri III in 1583 after plotting with the Duke of Alençon. Her husband welcomed her to Nérac but had her locked up in the Château d'Usson from 1587 to 1605. She agreed to the annulment of her marriage in 1599 after the death of Gabrielle d'Estrées.
