Jeanne De Jussie
Jeanne de Jussie (1503 – 7 November 1561) was a Roman Catholic nun and writer born near Geneva. She documented the role of the Protestant Reformation in the Poor Clares convent in Geneva. Early life Born to Louis and Jeanne de Jussie in Jussy-l'évèque – in the former province of Chablais – Jeanne was the youngest of six children who survived infancy. She was apparently schooled in Geneva. Her father Louis died before 1519, leaving an estate; Jeanne's uncle, Amédée, named his own son (Georges) heir to the family castle in Jussy-l'Évêque, causing protest from Louis' wife and children. After a costly legal battle, the family was forced out of the castle and Jeanne's brothers sold off the remaining property. Jeanne would leave for the convent in 1521 at the age of 18. Her mother would pass away in 1535.Carrie F. Klaus, Volume Editor's introduction to The Short Chronicle (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006).Carrie F.

The Reformation was the start of Protestantism and the split of the Western Church into Protestantism and what is now the Roman Catholic Church. It is also considered to be one of the events that signified the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period in Europe.Davies ''Europe'' pp. 291–293 Prior to Martin Luther, there were many earlier reform movements.
