St. Jane of Valois
St. Jane, daughter of King Louis XI and Charlotte of Savoy, was born in 1464. The King had hoped for a son to succeed him, and was doubly disappointed at Jane’s birth because of her deformed body and small stature. Consequently, when the child was five she was banished from the palace.
Patiently she suffered the tribulations heaped upon her. At that early age Jane of Valois gave her heart to God and longed to honor the Blessed Virgin in some special way. At the age of twelve, in 1476, not with standing her bodily defects, her father married her against her desire to Louis, Duke of Orleans.
In 1498 Louis ascended the throne as Louis XII, and shortly thereafter, by false representations, divorced St. Jane, now the Queen. The Queen, who had been a true and loyal wife for twenty-two years, acquiesced in the sentence, exclaiming: “God be praised who has allowed this, that I may serve Him better than I have heretofore done”. The King, pleased at her submission, gave her the duchy of Berry, Pontoise and other townships.
Service to Her People
Retiring to Bourges, St. Jane led a life of mortification and prayer, devoting her great wealth to works of charity for her people. In 1500, under the direction of her spiritual adviser, a holy Francis can Friar, St. Jane founded the Order of Nuns of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin. St. Jane built and endowed the first convent of the Order in 1502. She died in the odor of sanctity in 1505. She was canonized by Pope Clement XII in 1738.
