"...of several French kings..."
[edit]Surely just one - Henry II?

favorite rather than mistress
[edit]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)

Drinking Gold
[edit]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)
The Serpent and the Moon
[edit]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
[edit]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)
'Chargers?'
[edit]'Like her fellow chargers...' Which definition of 'charger' would this refer to? I cannot find it. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Charger Grandma Roses (talk) 18:59, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- 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)
